More than a saying, it is a harsh reality that will come back to haunt you at some point in your life.

*Warning* This is one of Mercurys endless ramblings. Probably makes no sense to anyone, nor may it hold any value. Just need to Vent. A lesson learned, may some one learn from a mistake I had made and paid for.

Few addages actaully apply to general life, even fewer actually hold truth. One that does is Never Burn Bridges. For one will find themself traveling down a path in life that leads to a bridge that was burned a time ago.

Not exactly sure what it was that caused me to Hurt good, close friends, and cheat on a girl friend that loved me dearly. At that point in my life, as traveling down the pervebial (My spelling blows ***) path of life, I was carrying a Torch.

Timber, steel, concrete, no matter how strong a foundation that bridge had, I brought it down in flames and walked on to the next. Ruined alot, almost lost my job, turned to achol (Still recovering, pretty damn hard to kick that habit), killed a few good friendships, and destroyed a relationship.

Funny, how one day you wake up and first thing that crosses your mind is not going to work, not eating, not about the massive headache you have, but the Realization that you Screwed so many people over, and damaged so much good in your life.

Didnt see it or much care before, Then Wham. Slapps you in the face. Perhaps it was my girlfriend finding out that I was cheating on her, coming over my house and crying to my mother. Or perhaps the pain riddled voice that I heard crackling over my answering machine.

Dont know what the hell had happened to me. Still dont know why I had done that. But when I saw it, I started working on rebuilding friendships.

Luckily god has graced me with very forgiving friends, and family. One thing that I'm fighting a loosing battle on though is the Rebuilding the relationship back. Once again tonight, the efforts have failed and a fight broke out. Its heart breaking. I'm trying to do right, and fix what I have wronged.

SO, A WORD OF ADVICE TO THE YOUNGER MEMBERS HERE. BE SURE OF WHAT IT IS YOUR DOING. BIENG COOL, HAVING TEMPORARY FUN, PEER PRESSURE DONT MEAN CRAP IN THE LONG RUN. SOME WRONG DONE IN LIFE CANT BE FIXED.

Okay, sorry about that. Just had Jibber Jabber and get things off my chest, and typing does that for me.
