We talked.

We talked... Me and a few of my good friends were hanging out and talking over some whiskey and beer about a week ago. We talked about a bunch of stuff. Past, present and future. We talked about all the people we used to know back in the day, in elementary school or even before. We talked about how everyone has changed since then and about all the shit that we did through our lives so far. We talked about the things we wanted and the things we still want. We talked about our friends that ended up in prison. We talked about our friends that are probably going to end up in prison. We talked about the people that have died. We talked about how it killed us to watch all the awesome girls we care about hook up with guys that treat them like shit for nothing. We talked about how we watched our friends ruin their lives getting strung out on drugs... doing anything to get a fix. We talked about ourselves getting strung out on drugs. We talked about the people that fucked us over. We talked about the people we fucked over. We talked about the people we loved and still love. We talked about the people we hated and still hate. We talked about what we want to do with our lives in the future and what we are going to have to do to get there. We talked about the girls that fucked up and got pregnant. We talked about how we are watching some of our friends waste their lives away, never to achieve any of their dreams because they just don't want to grow up. We talked about our familys. We talked about all the shit we went through that shaped us into the people we are today. We talked about how we are now.

And while none of those mistakes in the past can be fixed...
And while probably nothing we do will change the hearts of the ones that we care about that are hurting...
And while our future is sure to be full of broken dreams and disappointments.

I had a good time talking to my friends. It gave me alot to think about. It motivated me to do something about my friends instead of just hurting, watching them hurt. It made me want to do something... something about everything.

And while nothing may change because we talked... It might.

Let's talk more...
