Had to park at Sunshine station this morning (bus replacement service from my local), left the office early, driving home and nearly hit a junkie (on their pushbike) who thought it was a good idea to absolutely fang it through the pedestrian crossing when cars had the green arrow to turn.
Homey looked cooked, but determined.
😔
i dunno, I just find drug addiction sad
Definitely sad. I've done drugs in the past, but managed to avoid the spiral down. That could have been me if some things went differently, for sure.
so many hugs
I am so glad events turned out well for you 😭<---tears of relief and emotion
Oh no, I was never bad. I just did a fair amount of party drugs in my youth (still do but with a prescription). Knew some people went the wrong way (heroin and meth mainly) but most of my friends ended up okay.
I think having fairly strict, but somehow supportive parents helped.
That would have been terrifying - hope you’re ok
Oh yeah, I saw going fast just as I was turning and slowed down to let him through. I have a feeling he didn't see most (if any) of the cars.
