Drunk Text


I've written about this before... but it's such a prominent part of my being that I definitely have to bring it up again.

Hi, I'm Eliztalks & I'm a drunk texter. 

The first part is admitting you have a problem... & I, my friends...have a real problem. It's like the second my blood stream feels the tingle of alcohol. My brain decides I need to reach out to people.. sometimes entirely random people, other times people I really shouldn't be reaching out to. I don't even know what triggers it, or how drunk me decides what to say and who to say it to.

Given, some conversations are entirely innocent, very casual, the type of conversation people wouldn't even realize I was drunk.

Then you have the next level of conversation... The I'm going to tell you just about everything I ever felt the need to say, but know better than to say it sober, so let me say it now drunk. The type of text you regret in the morning. The type of people you shouldn't be reaching out to. The type of people you've erased from your life & contact list but still manage to find & hit send. (I've done some impressive things to find an erased number or find the way to contact someone. CLEARLY drunk me is persistent..) 



I'm infamous for this. Any given drunken  night I decide someone needs to be contacted. To the point that some people are extremely use to it by now. Then you have the other people that don't know what to make of it. New to the Eliz drunk game. People that don't know if to take me serious or click ignore.

I mean... I guess I'm not even sure the answer to that question. 75% of the time sober me is fully aware of why I would do it, but then there's parts of me that really has no idea what triggered it. My intention is never to confuse people, or to make them look too deep into shallow waters. I just like to communicate my sentiments even when I'm incoherent of the very moment.

I guess I don't fully get it. I apologize to those I'm bothering & I'm grateful for those that calmly reply from the other side.

Will I ever stop? I guess maybe, one day eventually... for now...

Hola Bebe ;)
(did I mention, I'm the sweetest, sweetest drunk...)
