People will encourage you to go through something so you can talk about it; and they will boldly tell you that unless you have been where they have or have come from where they come from, they do not want to hear it. People will encourage you to experience a little of this or that and then come back once you have been through “something.” So you can say I ” know , I was there.” Some people are not comfortable unless they are around others who have done the same things they have. Fine, just be certain you do not do “things” so that you are accepted by a certain crowd.
What they are talking about is hurt and pain. Do not ever hurt or abuse or cause pain and suffering to yourself to prove a point or be around anyone. People tell you this to make a fool of you, to make you more like them. And if you see the suffering in someone and hope that for yourself, you need to get your mind right. You should want better not worse for yourself.
You do not have to hurt yourself to tell the truth. You do not have to be high, drunk, whore, rob, steal or kill to see the truth and know right from wrong. People who want you to do things to be accepted by them are not your friends. This is a huge sign to change your crowd before you have a past you will regret the memory of.
The truth is. Don’t listen to people who wish to see “how you come out”. The path God put you on is enough; this path stands ITSELF.
