i. Do I miss you?
Of course I do.
ii. Do I miss my old days?
To be reckless and to not give a fuck, to drink to please my friends, to dance and step on anyone in my way, to sing and shout like there's only me in my world
At one point, I stopped controlling
What had started out as a once in a while affair, quickly escalated into a mess of weekly music, alcohol and dizzy cab rides. I left house looking proud and sultry. I come back semi-drunk and in a mess.
At one point, I stopped caring.
I started to overdrink. My mum called me on my phone, and when my friend passed it to me, I realized at that moment in time, I completely forgot there's anyone else in the world but me. I forgot my own family.
At one point, I got worse.
I decided nothing was worth anything anymore and I drank my nights away. Even on days when the clubs are closed, I kept my dates to a schedule to make sure I got my tequila hit everyday.
At one point, I broke.
I saw a guy who looked like you. Then, I saw a guy who dressed like you. Then, I saw a guy who sounded like you. It drove me fucking insane, which meant I fed myself more and more drinks to dilute it away.
At that same point, I woke.
I knew I was done.
I was guarding a female friend, and in the midst of her drunkness, I saw absolute clarity. The way people behave in clubs, the way they influence to live life for the night, the way this place devour morals.
No.
I wanted out.
I needed to know I could get a grip on myself and not further lose myself to this night addiction. I knew I needed to snap out or risk tripping into that abyss. I knew I couldn't afford to lose myself anymore.
For the entirety of the period I was clubbing, I lost touch with all my close guy friends because I came to be subdued by the fact that all guys are only periodical. They refresh themselves after 2 months, why give a fuck. I kept my girlfriends at an arm's length. I feel ill and depressed and miserable and I didn't want to impose.
I was a wreck - waking up only to pray the night falls so I can forget again. I was a mess - consuming myself with sad stories and memories to cry myself to sleep. I was a complete fuck up.
No.
No longer.
I've been club-less for a month and more now. I listen to escapades and drunk stories. I feel my club beats enticing me on my earpiece. I ache to feel the high of my old tequila and belvedere.
Do I miss that lifestyle?
Of course I do.
But for everything that lifestyle can give me, it cannot give me you.
iii. Do I miss you?
Of course I do.
iv. Do I have chances of getting better?
Of course I don't.
See, I wanted to type "do". Because I'm a poetic little bitch and it has to follow the frame I've set from the start. But by no intention, I added "don". I backspaced. And my fingers typed "dot". I backspaced. "Don't" really seems to be the correct fit, doesn't it?
Abrupt end because it's late and my thoughts are at sundown.
