This time last year I was hammered. Getting drunk on the phone with my best friend who happened to be 12 hours away. My sister’s left over XXX was the only thing to drink, so I did. It was nasty, but it got the job done. I woke up the next day, my technically birthday, at 5pm. Got out of bed and snorted some pills. Everything has changed. It seems like life is always harder when you’re living it. Go figure. She doesn’t live 12 hours away anymore….only about 20 mins, but she’s harder to get to these days. And all the pills and booze have gone away. Oh things have changed.
