I am eagerly waiting for the next chapter in this series! I like how you’re filling us in on the intro of the situation(s) to see the evolution of it all

ahhh yay! I am postponing the continuation of this for a week so I can post my drunk ramblings on my high school reunion tomorrow AM but then back to business with this tale!

Omg well I’m excited for that too. I almost went to mine this year but my besties couldn’t make the dates and I wasn’t about to travel there and show up solo 😅 (I felt better when I saw online not many people showed up anyways but I would want to go to the next one if it happens). Yay avidly anticipating your ramblings!

Since going sober, it has been shocking how many of my friendships and relationships were glued together by tequila…. I realised that the reason why we were spending so much time together was because it was more socially acceptable to get drunk in a group than in your room alone. Loved this, excited for the next part!

YES what is this?? This was somewhat unfamiliar to me in this friend group but it felt like a necessary pre-requisite to earn their acceptance… ew.

Oh the intro was speaking to me directly. Also, being friends with booze and not truly the people you boozed with. Looking forward to the next installment!

Oooo eagerly anticipating the next installment! Although ironically, I would be curious on how you feel about calling E basic after reading my most recent post 🙈

Omg just skimmed the beginning and had to come back and acknowledge YES it was completely judgmental of me to criticize her in this way- I am writing from the perspective of how I took each of these players and situations in the moment they unfolded (as much as I can remember/be honest to it)

This story will reveal a good deal of my own faults and insecurities throughout and document how those contributed to this disasterous dynamic as well.

For all of my growth since this all went down, I aim not to be altruistic martyr of my own story, I too have used judgement in this way as a means to protect myself from my own lack of confidence in my identity. I’m not always proud of that and how it has shown up throughout my life.

Thank you for pointing me to your piece, I’m sure I will learn from it— going back to finish reading it now! 🩷

Ah thank you for such a long and thoughtful comment! Mine definitely wasn’t meant to shame you, and I’m certainly not perfect by any means when it comes to making past judgments (so apologies if it came off as virtue signaling). It was more so a curiosity to see what impact my words might have on your perspective. I look forward to reading the rest of this extended story June 💕

Oh I totally know!! I actually loved your comment and your piece and it made me reflect in such an important way. I appreciate you!
