Well I Believe It All Is Coming To An End. Oh Well, I Guess, We're Gonna Pretend, Let's See How Far We've Come. Let's See How Far We've Come
Devil went out last night. Devil went out to THAT club.
Yeah...it's been a long while since I've written a blog but I've not only been busy but I've found a number of other websites that have catered to my specific blogging needs depending on what it's about. I have a blog specific for my photography work, I have a blog specific for my gym work and I have Facebook profile for my regular and daily rants or outbursts. Having all of those, I only really need this blog...for well...anything else that isn't covered in any of those areas.
Anyway, last night I went out to THAT club. Sober. It's been a LONG while since I've been there and since I've stopped drinking. I had organised with The Angel and a few others from Season One to meet up there for a nostalgic "reunion" of sorts. It was both interesting and necessary for me I think, at this point in my life. It's been a few years since I stopped drinking and it's been equally as long since I stopped going out to those kinds of night clubs (or any type of night clubs for that matter) and changed both my focus and my priorities.
I'm a different person to the one I used to be...and I think going back there last night gave me an opprotunity to see exactly how far I've come. They say at a journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step. What they don't say is that if you keep stepping, you're gonna get a long way...but you just won't know exactly how far along that journey you are...and that's why I needed to go back to the start, so to speak.
It was a unique experience for me because going back there...it opened my eyes to the world that I used to live in. I saw guys dancing on podiums and thought to myself "That used to be me". I saw guys wearing tshirts that lit up in time to the music and thought you myself "I used to have a tshirt like that". I heard groups of people asking each other why one wasn't there the previous weekend and I thought to myself "That used to be me".
There were people there that I saw last night...who were still there from the days back when I used to be there. Sadly...they were still hanging around in the same circle of friends and unfortunately not much had changed for them. I did see the ex-boyfriend of Will who (at the time) was a DJ at THAT club and (at the time) looked very...well let's say "asthetically pleasing". I remember him being extremely pretentious and he had the same attitude to go with it. When I saw him last night...I couldn't help butsmile grin. He's since lost a LOT of muscle mass...and lost a LOT of hair. Ahhh...Karma...you never cease to amuse me.
The night definitely affirmed a number of decisions I've made in my life since I chose to give up drinking and clubbing (and living the life of a rockstar / stripper) and making health or fitness related choices. I'm honestly content with how things have turned out with my life and even though I'm not 100% happy with things in my world are despite making those health and fitness related choices...but in hindsight...things could have been so much worse.
