drinking games

i haven’t drank in say, about, over a year.

but of all the strangest times and strangest places, i had swigs of alcohol.

in the comfort of my own home and surrounded by the people whom i’ve spent so many years getting to know, no less.

it felt good, and somehow, took that taboo-ness of drinking away.

surrounded by friends, in broad daylight, sitting by the mahjong table, and drinking, somehow, just felt normal, innocent, and friendly.

i had a good time, did you?

additionally, in my quest to meet old friends from work, i met an old friend/neighbour from work for dinner yesterday night.

even though we weren’t really the best of friends at work - we hardly even talked!

but it was the strange circumstance of us staying so near to each other that brought us to that dinner.

but anyways, i  had a good time.

we realised we had more friends in common than we knew.

and through the conversation with him, i’m slowly but surely letting go of my nightmare of last november/december, and my ultimate work boo boo.

strange, i thought, when i was sitting there, i’ve fucked up on the two shoots that we were on, he must belong to the category of people i must make a u-turn when i sight him within a hundred mile radius, but here i am having dinner with him, alone, no less.

but the dinner did me good, understood some things, learnt to let go of some things, and i’m now a better and happier person with one less person to u-turn from on the streets

i’m happy
