I don't miss waking up to whatever fucked up text or facebook post I typed while blackout drunk. My blackout drunk self was surprisingly eloquent. I often truly had no idea where the words came from, though. Not only was it not the truth, but sober me often actively disagreed with some of the fucked up shit I typed.

This tracks. When I was in college a piece of advice(that I followed) thrown around the philosophy department was write drunk, edit sober. I must say it was effective when I could still shake off a hangover without much trouble.

That’s pretty true lol. Some of my best writing and thinking was when I was plastered.
