Yesterday, I sat down and talked to one of my good friends who happens to be a cop. We sat there, joked, laughed, and then all of a sudden sh*t got real. He pulls out a file that has my name on it and slams it down on the table and says what the f**k Morley, I thought you were smarter than this. I saw you grow up from a boy to a man and I saw you grow up with my son so, youre family. Now look at you! Youre throwing your life down the drain all because of drinking and that hurt me deep inside because no one has ever talked to me like that in a serious, but compassionate tone. He goes on to saying Morley, you will lose friends and family on the way but thats a just a motivation to keep going and not hold back. These friends of yours look at them! What have they done for you or themselves? And that got me thinking. Nothing. They havent done anything for me except give me a headache! He said Morley, I havent got this far in life without saying these three phrases; Yes Sir, No Sir, or Shut the f**k up. And to be honest I lost some on my closest bros but I made new friends when I went to college. So, Morley whats your next step? then that hit me. What is my next step? you know Morley, everyone is here for you all you have to do is ask and were there. All of us from the police department and the ambulance crew want to you see to do something with yourself So here I am thinking about what he said and still trying to process all that. That lecture he gave me was good enough to set my ass straight. But, just like he said I will lose friends but that should be a motivation to keep going and prove them wrong. So, now Im filling out college applications.
