Priorities

I was at work the other night and one of my good friends (also a co-worker) was with me. We were just closing up shop for the night and I asked her if she wanted to come out with some of my friends and I. We were planning on a pre-drink, and then heading over to a favourite club. She said no, as she had a quiz the next morning, but I could tell that there was some hesitation. She then said: "What if I die tomorrow? I will think to myself, I should've just gone out and had fun." I didn't want to pressure her though, so I said, school's your main priority now, so don't put yourself down for that.

Then I started thinking about what my main priority right now is, and truthfully - it's having fun. Almost 5 months ago my girlfriend and I broke up. We had been together 2 years and although the relationship left a lot to be desired, it was extremely hard finding myself single after 2 years, especially because within 11 days of the break-up my ex was with someone new (and still is). Anyway, it was a bleak couple months of me trying to navigate single life, with a lot of fuck-ups along the way.

After the holidays though, I felt renewed and ready to make things right in my life. From that point on it has been pretty much non-stop partying. I have focused on schoolwork from time to time, but barely... However, I'm not worried about it. I might not do great in all of my courses, but I'm making memories, I'm living life, and I'm really fucking happy.

Tonight I got high on some crazy chronic with 4 of my good friends, and then we went on an adventure to a park, then walked to a grocery store, bought tonnes of food, and then went back to their place, ate the food, and watched "Planet Earth". So jokes.

Now it's 4am and time for bed... then maybe we'll do it all over again.
