Your Handy Chart of Drug Stereotypes

By Ryan O'Connell,

We at Thought Catalog obviously love stereotypes and drugs so imagine our delight when someone condensed our two favorite things into a useful chart! Among the amazing tidbits of information: Meth heads will always S your D whereas stoners never like to do it, Punky Brewster is the poster child for Ecstasy and cocaine users like to wear Ed Hardy! We agree with all of that minus the Ed Hardy part. A cokehead’s wardrobe consists of an I Talk Too Much top by Marc Jacobs and a new cologne by Tom Ford called Coke Breath. Thought Catalog Logo Mark

Trace the scars life has left you. It will remind you that at one point, you fought for something. You believed.

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
