Come have generalized anxiety with me in my living room
Transcript
Come have generalized anxiety with me in my living room. As I sat down on my couch, I was feeling a little anxious after blacking out at a wedding the night prior. The last thing I can remember was yelling, Ariba, and taking a shot of tequila. According to Uber, I did order a ride home at 02:30AM, but it said I ordered it from Best Buy in Burbank, which left me a little more confused and anxious. My friend from the wedding also hadn't responded to my what happened last night best, and when I checked his Instagram, I could see he was posting on a story. I did decide to like one of his stories in case he was mad at me and add some coffee in attempt to alter my mind state. My heart rate did go up and I ended up feeling more rank, which is a common side effect of coffee. And the level of paranoia I was experiencing was kind of unreal. My buddy finally texted me back and gave me details about how drunk I was, which even included a video of me hoisting a chair on the dance floor. He did say I broke the chair, but everyone thought it was funny and even included this cool pic of me with the DJ. At that moment, I knew I could take a deep breath and chalk it up as another successful wedding. Love you guys.
