I spent so much of the past several decades under the impression that I needed to inundate my body with illicit substances in order to be the life of the party. I’d wake up hungover, but pleased with myself and the popularity (artificial or not).
The last few days I have woken up feeling like the life of the party again. It’s a great feeling made even greater knowing there was no hangover in my future, and despite seemingly insurmountable difficulties, I was doing this all in my own.
Life is good
