Absolute bangers tbf

my best friend from uni was here for a stag at the weekend and i managed to meet up with him a couple of times, and i enjoyed reminiscing about our time living together from 2007 to 2011

i hated my course and basically just hid from all academic responsibility more and more as time went on, and the summers often felt long and lonely, so it wasn’t a perfect time in my life. but looking back i was really happy when i was at home living with good mates and being able to just hang out with them all the time. going on trawls around all the good pubs in town on random weeknights. sharing all our CDs with each other and getting each other into stuff.

my current living situation is alright and all but i sometimes hanker for those days. don’t feel like i was making the most of them towards the end, became a bit more antisocial and spent too much time on the internet. if only someone told me i’d be doing that to my heart’s content for the next decade anyway.

Summer 2014. Worked full time at a bar after graduating. Was dead in the day, watched every game at the world Cup while chilling out with the regulars. Worked with some good mates and my partner on the weekend, drank on the job then would go to someone’s flat most Fridays and Saturdays after shifts. No responsibility, cash in hand, easy life.

Glad it was only a couple of months mind cause the absolute state of my body through it

2006/07 was amazing. I had a very active lifestyle and was very sociable. It went downhill after that though when my partying got way out of hand around 2009. Fortunately after 8 year spiralling down the hole of depression I think I’m currently experiencing my happiest time since then

August 2001. I had just discovered for the first time drinking and weed.

I was care-free, no responsibilities, just working in the week to save up enough money to get out of my head on the weekend.

Now I feel some responsibilities. My mum hates me drinking, and my dad doesn’t like seeing my mum upset so it upsets him.

I would like to go back to August 2001 when I was truly care-free. When I felt no guilt for getting out my head. (Also I was slimmer then.)

Aww that world cup was so much fun (although June 2014 is still The Worst Month Of My Life :tm: )

I think if I go out walking in the middle of nowhere with no aims I have happy days so maybe do that more but maybe I’m happier doing that with people

Same period for me

Off during the whole World Cup, BBQs every day, sat in the sunshine reading before the matches started, swapping Panini stickers with friends, it was lovely.

World cup!
