We are all slaves to something, are we not? Slaves to our own passions, wants, and to the things we glorify. Nothing comes free in life, and life is what you make of it. In a world that's always changing, be wary of who is there to truly benefit your life, and who is there just for the good-time ride. I really found out a lot about myself this past year, and about the type of friends I truly had. After albeit difficult and painful soul-searching, I realized that so many things in life that we hold dear are really just candy-coated poisons. Be careful of deceptive dipped tragedies!
