Certe notti se sei fortunato bussi alla porta di chi è come te.
C’è la notte che ti tiene tra le sue tette un po’ mamma un po’ porca com’è.
Quelle notti da farci l’amore fin quando fa male fin quando ce n’è.
–Ligabue/Certe NottiWhatever gets you through the night
It’s alright
–John Lennon
Sometimes in order to get through something you do things that might be out of character. Or even things you think are wrong. Wrong with a capital W, even. Drink, drugs, general sexual knavery.
Sometimes? It’s understandable. We all have days and nights where we’re just kind of holding on by the fingernails. Trying not to fall off the precipice. Or jump off.
If a drug fueled night of sexual knavery keeps you here another day, and nothing else would? You do what you have to do. It’s not great as a long term plan, but if it’s an emotional emergency? Maybe it’s all that will work.
Or maybe your thing isn’t sexual malfeasance, but drinking or drugs. Whatever. If it keeps you from doing something even more desperate than the drinking and drugs? Go for it. On a temporary basis.
Then, when the immediate crisis is past. Call someone. Get help. Figure out how to deal with it in some way.
Because band-aiding whatever it is with booze, drugs and sex is only sustainable for short periods of time.
Uh. I hear.
Sexual Knavery would be a good band name though.
Aside:
On Sunday, WordPress notified me that it was the 7 year anniversary of when I signed up with them. I’ve actually been writing on the blog for…oh…I don’t know…10 months or so.
So you could say that it has taken me 7 years to write 152,000 words. That’s about 1800 words a month. Or, you could say that it’s taken me 10 months, or 15,200 words a month.
Either would be true.
I wonder if I will get to 200,000 by July when I’ll have been doing this for a year? I mean, without cheating.
It’s a good thing WordPress is free.
It’s an even better thing that I don’t depend on words for money.
Anyway, that’s a lot of words for anyone to write. Even if there’s not a lot of point to most of them. Especially since I’ve spent most of my life keeping them all in.
Thanks for reading them.
