This is ironic considering the content of the post I made a few months ago, but here goes.
For those of you who haven't already heard or been told by me...
I am no longer Straight Edge.
I had been reflecting and thinking about this for about 4 months before I made any decision. I came to realize that I was no longer being Straight Edge for myself, and it would be foolish for me to try and fake myself into it. I never stopped seeing it as a good thing, nor did I lose respect for it or anyone who still is. I just... changed.
In any case, my decision was consummated. I am completely comfortable with it, knowing that I made the choice and no one else's. I, as a person, am not going to change, only the range of beverages available to me.
Still core, still moshing, still diving, still me.
