once Fredrich Nietzsche said "I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature" while Fyodor Dostoevsky said "how gladly I watched the summer fade, the leaves turn yellow on the trees, and the grass dry out over the wide steppe! summer is gone at last! the winds of autumn howl and groan, the first snow falls in whirling flakes."

I drank for the first time in my life. And realised I was never actually alive. I was always drunk in reality where I would pretend. I was always drunk, in the true world, in the expectations, in the hopelessness, in the self doubt, in the insecurities. Then, I drank, i felt free, so helpless and uncontrollable and yet so true to my own self.
