Drugs and Alcohol with the Family

Last night, I had long chat with my cousin... Well it was mostly him talking and me listening but he was giving me a run through of his life and how he was living the life of a dealing and gang banging and how he's changing his life around. I only met this cousin a couple days ago and he seems to be able to open up so easily and sharing a lot of his past and how he's struggled with drugs and how heavily it had affected his life. I'm not sure what made him spark this conversation with me, I told him the original plan I had when moving back to my parents' house. Trying to save some money and then moving out to new place all together and out of Des Moines. I brought up LA and Chicago as key places.

Now that I think about it he was just worried that I would be caught up in all of the temptation of a bigger city. Let's say this about my history, I have "blazed up" before in my life in high school and a little in college but since then I have moved away from it. I honestly in my opinion don't think weed is as bad as everyone seem to believe it is. It's an herb that people have proved to be used for other purposes and some for the better.

I don't know where this blog is going... I just feel like talking and don't have anyone right now to talk to. I guess I'm happy that I have met a cousin this weekend that I should keep in contact with. Hey maybe it's Houston that I'm meant to be. I can't believe in my 27 years I haven't really "found myself" yet...
