It's almost as though they live second to second and are able to ignore everything else happening, that their walls are crumbling. Addiction becomes their #1, the only thing they hang on to. It's astounding.
I love the last part about YOU. I wish you live close to me, I would love to be your face to face friend! There are lots of people out there to make friends with. Just reach out where you can, sometimes it's in the oddest places.
Huge hugs!
