burn one down.

i don't understand.
when you care about someone, and you express that you're concerned for them, what do you do when they turn against you?

one of my biggest struggles is anger. when i'm happy or sad, i'm usually fairly good about controlling my emotions. when i get angry, all hell breaks loose.

i don't like people who take advantage of my friends or bring them down. 

i don't like when my friends feel like i judge them.. because my motto in life is exactly the opposite: live and let live.

if what you're doing makes you happy, go for it.don't let me stop you. just don't tell me you're going to do something if you don't plan on following through.
i let my emotions get involved, especially when i'm already overly protective of my friends. yuck.
i like people to try to help people better themselves. but what do you do when that backfires?

here's some inspiring words that i think will help me make it through the day.
burn one down - ben harper

Let us burn one
from end to end
and pass it over
to me my friend
burn it long, we'll burn it slow
to light me up before I go

if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I'm gonna burn one down

my choice is what I choose to do
and if I'm causing no harm
it shouldn't bother you
your choice is who you choose to be
and if your causin' no harm
then you're alright with me

if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I'm gonna burn one down

herb the gift from the earth
and what's from the earth
is of the greatest worth
so before you knock it try it first
you'll see it's a blessing
and its not a curse

if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I'm gonna burn one down 

granted, it is a song about the"herb". something i don't do. buuut... i have many functional stoner friends (logan IS a hippie town, after all) and i think they are all great people. with a lot to learn from.

ps... despite me thinking that today can go to you-know-where.... yesterday might have been one of the best days ever.
