Thank you, Rick. There was a long string of emails back and forth between me and Amy. A huge argument saved in my Gmail forever lol. It brought me back.
Man, the way this made me feel is like how sometimes my experiences get so cloaked in shame that I feel they don't deserve to even be in my journal because I don't want to acknowledge that it happened because I was so dang embarrassed by it.
I'm glad this story found a home here on Substack, Charlie.
Lol yes Becky! They don't even deserve to be in my journal! I have definitely felt that. Now that is exactly the stuff I like to share... HAVE to share. Frees me of it!
Wow, that laid the feelings behind self-denial out there. It just feels like the delusions of being cool and happy are so real. Distracted from reality. Of course, we aren't THAT drunk and annoying.
One of your most poignant, well-written, and impactful articles yet about the insidious dance of denial and the secret escape door of conscience.
