What Makes You Feel Good

I have a friend who is on the "doing what makes you feel good" path of life
There's nothing wrong with it from time to time
I've indulged in it myself
But doing what makes you feel good often times leave certain things and responsibilities undone
You begin to rest on your morals
You goals and expectations take a back seat
Now dont get me wrong
one is suppose to enjoy life and live it to the fullest
But in life, one has to struggle first to achieve their true happiness
And that struggle seems to last a lifetime
People then start to take solace in the "doing what makes me feel good method"
theres nothing wrong with that
To a point
Doing it to pick yourself up out of a rut once in awhile is one thing
But to do it on a daily basis can be destructive and disruptive to your life
Unfortunately my friend has began to do it on a daily basis
Like a user
Because this lifestyle in itself is an addiction
One gets addicted to the euphoria of it
And in turn all of their responsibilities fall by the waste side
One might play video games all day instead of bettering themselves physically and mentally
Or go shopping instead of paying bills
Or smoking knowing that they would have to take a drug test to get any job
Or drinking just for the feel good feeling of it
All of these things and more are the product of the feel good life style
Fun for a moment
But long term use could damage themselves and their loved ones in the process
I dont want that for my friend
And though he hasn't been doing it for that long
I can see the change already
This isnt the first time i spoke my opinion about this
But from what is see it hasnt changed all that much
So this will be the last time i speak on it
Im not anyone's mother, just a concerned friend
But i wont stand by and watch my friend turn into something he wouldn't even approve of.
And thats goes for anyone i care about.
