[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1578916457698","data":" Youth holds this immense power to change a family, a country and the world for better; erase all the ongoing worldly chaos and make co-existence of all lives a peaceful and harmonious one. It is in the blood of the youth, the passion, dreams, ambitions and in a summary a ball of intense energy which needs direction. This energy is volatile and if not directed properly would be explosive. One such issue facing by today\u2019s youth is substance abuse. \nOne of the most wrong perceptions is \u2018getting high\u2019 just for the sake of it. These things can never take us to the highest place of senses, but in fact throw us to the lowest level of our sanity. They completely erase the boundaries between reality and illusion. People do use them to become more creative, relive them off stress or anxiety or depression and make them partners during self-pity. It all starts with \u2018trying for once\u2019 and escalates to them becoming necessity without which everything seems meaningless.<\/p>  \nThen why do we give them the power to control us in such a life-degrading manner? We underestimate the power of our mind to help heal us and find peace and solitude in substance use. Why don\u2019t we consider taking responsibility of our lives and shaping them a getting high? Why not get high with serotonin by helping someone in need? Why drown ourselves in depths of self-pity using such numb-making, thought-disrupting, sane-losing substances for instant gratification? <\/p>Have you heard of Butterfly Effect? Well us, as in youth of this country preferring to degrade our lifestyles might seem as a personal issue but collectively, it has the capability to destroy the future of the nation and coming generations. Funny, right? A small thing can affect on such a large scale.<\/p>Substance use and alcohol consumption might feel rewarding and like a whole new magical world but they can paralyze a person\u2019s processing capability and decrease life expectancy. Despite knowing all the negative consequences, it\u2019s the compulsion which drives a person to consume it.<\/p>Yes, I know we do have peer pressure pulling us down into the hole of darkness slowly, because \u2018it is dope\u2019 and \u2018it is so damn cool\u2019 to get high. It is not the mistake of the teens or the youth but it is the constant and consistent brainwashing about \u2018being cool\u2019 and likeable through social media and lyrics of songs. We consider ourselves mature, self-decisive, independent thinkers and of course \u2018Smart Millennials\u2019. Why do we still fall into the trap of false glorification of fake life? The reality is we are naive, we just accept things without questioning their credibility just because a pop- singer, an influencer or an actor has approved them.<\/p> Is it fair to lose ourselves in search of five minutes of numb happiness? Is it fair to bully our bodies and murder them early?\nIsn\u2019t it time for us to wake up and start searching our true selves? Nurture our body, mind and soul and become a better person than yesterday? It is never late to get out of addictions or go to a rehab, we just have to understand the need of not indulging in substance abuse to ourselves.<\/p>So, next time when someone says you\u2019re a party-pooper or a spoilsport just stand up for yourself and deny them the chance to mess up your lifestyle, even if it is your best friend.\n\n<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1578916457699","data":"5e1c6bf6e28f1"}]
