I forgot to go to the liquor store today. I’m really regretting this. There’s one bottle of Smirnoff leftover from a party and I’m trying to figure out how to take it without anyone noticing. This is probably how I’m going to spend my entire night. I sound so pathetic but it’s been a year since I’ve had a drink and I’m going crazy.

When it comes to my family, giving Christmas presents is comparable to politics and beauty contests. I wish I had the time to elaborate but I’m exhausted. Before I go, I’d like to warn all of you to not buy glittery ribbons. I am completely covered in stubborn gold and silver specks. And I’m pretty sure that I snorted some by accident. It feels like a disco in my head.

My heart wants this so badly while my body refuses to commit. There is so much struggle just to keep myself unified. I can’t believe that I’m only one person.
Today was wonderfully sweet. It was a calm perkiness. And delicate, so delicate, like our hearts during the holidays. My veins are swollen with hushed joy, a wide smile without laughter. These are the days that underline my life. These are the days that make sleeping so hard and waking up so easy. These are the days filled with love for everyone and everything. These are the days I wish I could...
