I will see about editting it, and will try to figure out my syntax! Haha.

The ending is meant to be taken one of two ways... Depending on the reader, I guess. On the one hand, his drug-use is slowly destroying him, however, it is all he has, and it makes him happy, for what it is worth. He has become a shadow of a person, but considering his background, there was not much "person" to begin with. Drugs help him escape from his very unhappy life. It is very sad, but we all have this pretense that we know how life should be lived. Don't do drugs, don't sleep around, get a good career, buy a house, have two kids, get married. In reality, it's all nonsense. Happiness is relative. Life is short and hard, so you may as well just enjoy it. If enjoying life means killing yourself (and we're all going to die anyway) through drug abuse, whether alcohol, tobaccoo or illegal... Why not? It's socially acceptable to slowly kill yourself by an unhealthy life of fast food and no exercize. But then, maybe we should all be trying to live full, long, healthy and productive lives, regardless of happiness! Ahh, so much moral confusion.

Sorry for the big reply @_@ Turns out my head is full of words.

@billy

I shall get round to an edit at some point!

Yeah it's been raining for days :c And it's summer. Poopy cold weather.

I will try harder to notice when I make syntax mistakes. Maybe I should write some period poetry and get it out of my system!

I will make an attempt to shed bad habits.

However, I do like having... things... which are not universally understandable, like "Rockstar" - I do it frequently in poetry, normally things you wouldn't even notice. Like in one poem, I have a line saying "my cosmos" with "my co/smos" - myco being greek for fungus, so twisting it into being mushroomcosmos xD Nobody will ever get it, ever. But I do! And it makes sense in the poem.

I'm a mycologist......I don't get it. What is a smos?
best,
