Cycle of Repetition Part 2
Recently I had a made a blog about the Cycle of Repetition. This basically means, the path of darkness that many people in society follow, up to and including celebrities, as well as their predecessors. I'm going to jump into this quickly. On Saturday, a very talented and beloved actor, Cory Monteith died. He was one of the main characters in the hit show called Glee and starred as Finn Hudson. His character was a troubled soul looking for the light in the darkness and Rachel Berry (played by Lea Michelle) gave him that spark. In the show, throughout the various seasons, they develop a strong relationship with each other to the point in which they want to get married. However, their lives go in different directions and so they hold off, but their love is still very strong. They were so close during the show, that their relationship translated through their real life. They were a gorgeous couple and I don't think anyone objected to their unity as lovers. Not only did Cory play a somewhat troubled character, but he himself had a very shady childhood and struggled with many things.
He started drug use very young as a child, around age 13 or so. First it was just the pot smoking and scoring some alcohol here and there. Eventually as he grew up, so did his drug habits. He admitted to acquiring anything and everything, as much of it as he could, any way he could. That is the exact truth of any drug addict you will ever meet. They do not care what they do, how they do it, as long as they get what they want in the end. The drugs. His family showed deep concern for him and he wanted help as well. He checked into several rehab centers throughout the course of his life, but the drugs still managed to slip back into his life. With his new found glory of being on tv and the money that rolled along with it, I imagine the drug use opportunities became abundant and I'm sure he took well advantage of it. When you have the world at your feet, you often get whatever you want without much restriction. Recently Cory was in a rehab center and came out of it and felt like he was on top of the world, invincible and ready to live life. Everyone on the outside from family, friends to even the millions of fans waiting for the show to return, believed that he was okay, happy and doing well.
He was found dead in his hotel room, in which he stayed for a week. The only reason why he was found dead was because he didn't check out on time and some of the hotel employees came to check on him and found him deceased in his room. There's something really wrong about this. The autopsy came back and it confirmed that there was heavy alcohol and heroin and mixed toxicity in his system which caused his death. This means exactly one thing. He slipped up and he overdosed. I've never been a drug user or addict myself, but when your body is used to something and dependent on it, as soon as you void yourself of that thing, you're going to build a craving. Cigarettes can be easily kicked compared to hard drugs like heroin. In fact, I believe most hard addictive drug users never truly kick the drug without dying in the process. There are some who have battled drugs and made it out valiantly and are still clean to this day. Example: Brian "Head" Welch from the band Korn/Love & Death. He said the only reason why he was able to kick drugs was because he gave his life to God. But most drug users aren't able to kick them on their own. So with this in mind, and with Cory just recently being released from a rehab center, he is VERY vulnerable to relapsing, which is what happened. Why would you let a hard drug user be in a hotel by themselves? I understand we all deserve to have privacy and we sometimes like to be alone etc.... but when a person is that much of a danger to themselves to the point where they need to seek rehab centers, I think that right to privacy should be revoked until they are clean for a certain amount of time. The publicity follows them around EVERYWHERE, so what is one more person to make sure they don't kill themselves? I seriously think they should have had someone with him in his hotel to make sure that this situation didn't happen. I'm sure people thought he was fine, so they didn't think to have some extra security or have someone baby sit him and keep an eye on him just in case he would slip up. Now I bet everyone he knows wish they had.
So once again, I would like to remind everyone that is reading this. If you know someone battling with drug abuse. Please do not abandon them if you do not want them to die. Do everything in your power to help them, to save them. Keeping an eye on them in their hotel room for a week is more important than your shopping trips, your football games, your clubbing etc.... because those things can happen every day for the rest of your life. Your life only happens once, and there are no ressurrections for us. If you battle drug abuse, please look at what happens to other drug users and get it in your head that you are in trouble and you are endangering yourself. Please ask for help, get some help. If you value your life and if you don't want to leave your friends and family in a pit of darkness mourning over your death, do them and yourself a huge favor and take the responsibility of telling the drugs that you will not let them rule your life, that you will do anything and everything it takes to not score your drugs, but you eliminate drugs from your life. I tell you in advance, that this journey is going to be the hardest thing you will ever do in your whole life. The craving might even stay with you for your whole life, but if other people can kick drugs, so can you.... you need to want it.
Lastly, I would like to send out a positive message to everyone mourning over Cory. Despite the fact that it was his choice to relapse and do so many drugs that it killed him and that nobody thought of maybe keeping an eye on him, he was a treasure to the world and will forever be in our hearts and prayers. In this time of mourning over his death, we must accept his passing and remember that now he is in paradise. He is free from suffering, he is free from battling with drugs, he is free from the stress of being a celebrity. Even though we will not see him walk down the streets of LA or see him in future tv shows and movies, we will always be able to look back on his appearances and admire his accomplishments. Let us use his life as an example to achieve excellence and success. We should use his death as an example to protect ourselves and those we love from falling prey to deaths hands before the right time. I do hope that Cory made his way to heaven and is dancing with the people he lost in his lifetime. I pray that everyone mourning over his life and death may find some closure, some serenity and peace.
Please follow his footsteps in becoming successful.
Do not follow his footsteps by doing drugs.
