Beverly: Let me quote myself. One day can change your life. One day can ruin your life. All life is three or four big days that change everything.
Home alone I was ticking my time watching Riding With the Boys. So the story was about a bright young girl with a bright plan ahead - scholarship, university, big cities, well respected husband...
At 15 years old, Beverly decided it is okay to take a chance ... a chance with Ray Hasek (Steve Zahn) who starts out as a teen drinker then becomes an alcoholic and a drug addict. They lost the gamble. They did the right thing - they got married. She dropped out of school, making a living plate after another plate, rising a boy at the age of 18s, enemy to her loving father.. all was shaterred.
It was a picture of a life that we can all learn from - without having to go through it and cost so dearly. Btw this is based on a true story. Everyone has only 1 life and it is such a huge huge impact from the people you are riding your life with.
(1 Cor 15:33)
Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits."
So, who are you riding with?
Beverly: I'm 22 years old - that's almost 30, and I still haven't accepted that this is my life. And I just wish that I could be dumb. And then I wouldn't know better and I could be happy and stop hoping. And I'm telling you this like you're interested in my boring life.
Beverly's letter: Dear Mom and Pop, the prospect of you reading thisso shatters me that I'm a stranger to myself. Your fears over my behavior, which thought unreasonable seem now the stuff of wisdom. I have terrible news I've been withholding from you. "But, like poison rom an adder"s tongue I have to spit it out....
