Getting high on life

I am not known for being the serious one. Stressing out and worrying is not my thing. I’m a really happy person and it takes a lot to bring me down. It’s because I get high almost everyday. The drug that I am on is plentiful and is available to everyone at a very young age. So when I first got hold of the substance, I was hooked. I couldn’t get enough of the stuff. This stuff gets me through out of very stressful situations almost everyday. But don’t judge me. I’m not a bad person. If you knew how powerful this stuff is, you’d try some too. I’m really high right now…on life.

I wasn’t always like this. I used to have a lot of worries and problems. I was one stressed out dude. But one day, while I was chilling with my friend, something in me just clicked. It was almost instant. All of the worries, stress, doubts, and fears that I had in my life, swiftly escaped from my body. It was like decompressing an inflatable pool. Looking back on it, that moment happened for me because a lot good realizations came to me at once. It was the biggest revelation/epiphany of my life. The first words that I uttered was,“ I love life”. It truly was and still is an amazing feeling.

Before that day, I was a scared little Asian kid. I was scared of life and how it’s moving way too fast for my liking. My biggest fear was that I was going to be a failure in life. I always thought that I wasted all of my time, that I should have tried harder in high school. In fact I did. I went through everyday wasting my time instead of putting myself into good use. Undone schoolwork kept piling up in front of me. And the whole time I knew I could do better, that’s what made everything worse. The fact that my grades were suffering and that I knew I could help it but I just chose not to, ate me up inside. It would be a daily thing where I would tell myself “what are you doing?” and “what are you going to do?”

Everything is all good now though. I may still slack off at times, but I don’t feel bad about it. That isn’t exactly a good thing, but at least I don’t stress. I no longer have fears for my future and I see everyday in a good light. My motto is hakuna matata. I believe in getting high on life.
