pureinheart Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 *Disclaimer* This post is an act of obedience as I did not want to post this. Do you ever do things and don't have a clue as to why you're doing it? Well, I do some weird things, but this one was even weird for me, and when it's weird for me, it's really weird. After innocently watching a bio on a pop/rock group I learned of the death of their younger brother in 1988. Yes, I'd heard of him, but when he became popular about that same time I'd checked out of life. Being born in Los Angeles and living in So Cal all of my life (tried to move a couple of times, but it never worked) the entertainment field is normal, so there always has been a connection to it in many ways. Anyway, I started watching this young mans music videos, which most were right around '78 or so, and was completely captivated by his spirit and became curious about his life and the reasons why he died so young. Long story short, I read everything on the net possible, but the obsession seemed to get creepy because it's like "why"? Depression began to hit hard, and I really thought I was loosing it for real this time, like WTH? Beginning to be seriously concerned about my own sanity, I began praying, "Lord, what is this????...this person is most likely with You by everything I'd read...sooo why am I trippin? After a few days of seeking the Lord, He showed me big time the connection. I saw myself in his life and it was scaring the hell out of me...destructive addictive relationships and drugs. People, if I could emphasize anything, it would be to get help ASAP for yourself or anyone you might know with addictive personalities, as they usually manifest early on. Know that the enemy has a tool(s) meant for our destruction. This wonderful, good-hearted young man had everything possible anyone could have going for him, yes he had dabbled in drugs prior, but the enemy knew what it would take to take him down- a relationship. She was older and IMO narcissistic and a complete liar. He was addicted to her and when the season of luvvv was over he switched addictions to mask the pain at the tune of a 1000$ a day coke habit and God only knows what else. I became like this in a couple of relationships...of course I couldn't afford a 1000 bucks a day, but I did do some masking. Personally, am not sure which is worse, addictions to relationships or drugs. Quite frankly this post could fit in several sections, but I want to focus on the Spiritual end because seeing myself in him, going through what he did in various things, this could have been me. I think God took him home early because by all accounts the coke and partying had priddy much destroyed his life in all ways- his career/voice was shot, his physical body was shot and because of what these drugs do, his mental state would have remained at a continuous depressed state...basically this crap can screw up your endorphins and hormones permanently. Want to put out there to be careful with others hearts, as we never know when a person is vulnerable...there are many really nice caring people that these devils just take advantage of. This happens a lot with me, God will take me sometimes almost literally into what another person is going through/feeling, meaning I am in their shoes- this one was the hardest because his shoes were mine too, for real. Also revisited a time in which I was void of reality that remained for a very long time.

Author pureinheart Posted August 3, 2013 Author Posted August 3, 2013 Treat others the way you yourself would want to be treated. Life will really chew you up and spit you out if you let it. People try to avoid that very self evident fact these days. Young people that lack the experience and are nice people can be naïve ...they think everyone (or most) are like them. A wolf sees them coming and they become fair game, it really makes me angry.
T3h L337 d00d Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 A lot of people think they know it all. A very dangerous position to hold when you really know next to nothing. 1
