Epidemic

Heroin, Crack,Meth. these are mild sedatives compared to the drug that is hope.  Hope is an epidemic. Billions of people are addicted.  They live their lives in a world where one day their dreams will come true.  They never notice the shit hole that is real life.  There is no patch or twelve step program to help “Hope Heads”.  Intervention is pointless.  Once addicted, a person refuses to give up Hope.  It’s kind of sad really, watching them go through life with the belief that one day things will get better never realizing the truth.  A few of us are lucky enough to be immune to the Hope drug. We must be born with the immunity because no one has ever beaten a Hope habit once they have been sucked in.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve considered giving it a try.  Ultimately it is just too dangerous.  Hope only leads to soul crushing disappointment and leaves you an empty worthless shell washed up on life’s beach.


I wrote this a long time ago but reading it after all this time, it is a pretty good description of how ive been feeling the past few months.
