I can still remember the night I had my first drink. I was 18 and at a party with friends from school. The music was loud, and everyone seemed to be having so much fun. But all I could think about was how cool it looked when they held their drinks up to the light. It made them sparkle like diamonds.
I spent most of my teenage years dreaming about being older. Wanting to do things that felt forbidden or grown-up. So when the opportunity came to drink at a party, I jumped at it. My friends and I were all giggling and trying to act cool in front of the others while taking sips of our drinks.
As for who I am today... well, I'm 30 years old now, which feels surreal. Sometimes I find myself staring into space wondering how I got here. What did I do right? What didn't I do wrong? It's like looking back at someone else's life through a camera lens and trying to make sense of it all.
