I’m Gonna Keep Drinking

“I’m going to keep drinking,” I whisper to myself as I inhale another sip of Cosmo. 

It’s my third one tonight and my stomach is empty.

But I’m fine. It’s fine. 

I feel a headache coming on already from the sugar in this drink.

But I haven’t drunk enough to talk freely yet.

Is that why my father drank so much?

Wait, don’t go there.

A few drinks in and I’m talking, and I can’t stop talking, and I keep talking until people start leaving the room.

How do you find the balance? How do you keep a nice buzz without being annoying or throwing up, or just going to sleep? 

More importantly, how can I be drunk without offending the people I love?

Is this something people figure out later in life? Does the shame of it all ever go away?

I’m from Colorado originally, but I’d love to move to other places because home should be the place you love, not the only place you know. This blog is meant to be a place to get my ideas out and sometimes stories! Still getting used to this adult thing so I’ll write about daily life a lot. I post every Sunday : )

About Me

Hi there! I’m thrilled to have you join me on my blog. I write fiction, nonfiction, and everything in between.

In my free time, I like to keep busy with a variety of hobbies. I’m an avid reader and writer, I love to knit, crochet, and embroider.

At the end of the day, though, my main priority is spending time with my loved ones. Whether it’s traveling or just spending quality time together, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by those I care about.
