Changed for the better

I have a friend. I've been friends with him since like grade 6. He took a wrong turn with his life in highschool. He let drugs become a problem, got arrested tons of times for doing stupid shit and alienated his parents. After I graduated, and he didn't, and I got my own place, he sorta ended up on my floor quite a few nights, with no money, no good friends except for me(and I was getting frusterated with him at this point) and unable to hold a job for more than 2 weeks. I thought he was hopeless. His attitude wouldn't change, and he was just spiraling downward. But lo and behold. I don't know what happened, but just this summer he turned flipside. He solved his drug problem(it is merely recreation now) and he has been holding a job for 4 months now. (a fucking record). So it is true, people can change.

How ya doing, buddy?
