> Everyone around me tonight is drunk. I'm usually the one who cleans up the messes and makes sure no one gets hurt. Physically, that is. Tonight I decided I don't have to be the safety patrol. I think that's a good thing. But it's a lonely thing.
Doesn't it feel good to take care of yourself every once in awhile and not take responsibility for the rest of the world - and to do this without feeling guilt? I should hope that it feels freeing and empowering.
