I can't say that I've ever done anything to hardcore, however it was enough to cause broken relationship.....disappointment from my mother and step father. I wrote up a testimony and had my youth pastor and pastor of my church at the time. To ask them both if it would be possible to read my testimony to the church congregation, which they did. Low in be hold it just happened to be the Sunday that mothers day fell on, so needless to say both services had a pretty good amount of folks in the pews. Which was a little unsettling for a shy high school kid, that didn't like talking in front of the class. when I was in school. However, at the early service, all my friends got up and surrounded me when I started to lose it and let the water works out. The second service was even rougher, because that's the one my mother was at and the person I dedicated my testimony to. And was always my rock and was there for me to help push me through the hard times, which was really big, because she raised me by herself from about 1 and half on. So she taught me to never take things for granted and not to sweat the stuff I couldn't control. So now that she's passed....she the best guardian angel, along with all the other loved ones and friends over lost. I learned that ya gotta get the TOXIC PEOPLE in your life out of it.....all they're good for is dragging you down and down to there level or even worse. So surround yourself with an awesome core group of friends that have your best interest at heart!!! That's about it.....hopefully this helps at least someone
