You know, I mean, I was just wearing a coat of red flags, yet at the same time, I mean, people were absolutely into it, at least a certain segment of people. But there were obviously other people who knew that I was headed for disaster.
You know, I knew something was coming for me, right? I knew it was either going to be kind of sobriety that was by my choice or it was going to come because there was this big reckoning that was about to happen in my life. And in prepping for this, I actually just started to go through my phone from 2015, which was... The time when things were really going bad for me.

And I came upon this photo that's in my phone that I've saved and I've sent to other people as well. But it's of my workstation, so to speak. And it's like a coffee table in my apartment in Williamsburg at the time. And I remember working this day. And it wasn't really like a work day.

I had to do one post for the company that I was running at the time that was my own that I was failing at and flailing at. And I remember just being on Friday trying to figure out the right combination of either drugs or alcohol that I could put in my system so I could get done the one post. And on this table, there is a small bong, an empty bottle of Modelo, an empty bottle of Prosecco.

two lighters, a full ashtray. It looks like, and I'm pretty sure this is like Xanax from Mexico. A bunch of other smashed up white pills of various sort of consistencies. There's pot and two empty bodega coffee cups. But the thing that I remember that's most disturbing about this is there is a Pringles can. And it's a Pringles can of Pringles Buffalo Extra Spicy Hot Wings flavored Pringles.

And the reason why this is the thing that gives me like the chills the most and just like it actually makes me shiver is because I remember going to the bodega that day, having not eaten in a pretty long time, and knowing that I had to eat, but also not having enough money to really buy anything substantial.

So I opted for these Pringles because it said they had buffalo chicken on them, and I thought that that would be a sufficient amount of protein. And that was it.

I would say at this time in my life, especially when I was supposed to be very productive and had my own startup and everything like that, I probably only worked on Wednesdays. And I say Wednesdays because Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, I was either getting after it or hungover. And then Thursday, Friday, and I start up again. So Wednesday was really my full day of clarity.
