All the coping and socializing I did that inevitably lead me to poor choices and behaviors that I couldn’t tell where wrong or cringey at the time and now I’m stuck with pretty much only those memories of all the fun times i was having back then?

Probably still wouldn’t take it back but fuuuccckkk

Were they fun? Or were you just high or drunk? Fouble points if you had a joint in one hand and a beer in the other. Good times
