What kind of things have you done to just "let things loose" and go with what happens?
This could be things like drinking, parties, etc. I'm curious to see what kind of things Menewshans have done.

For me I'm very not party-friendly and I'm pretty boring.
When I drink it's like a sip. When I party I just play videogames.
My biggest thing would be dropping (almost) everything and going across the country for love. (I'll be moving most likely later this year to be with her)

I don't think I understand.
Are you saying what sort of things do we do to, "let things go" as in, letting emotions or feelings out that we can't otherwise express? Or maybe to let go of pent up emotions?

Because when that happens to me, I usually end up hurting myself somehow.

SPOILERX

I mean, overdosing on my medication, cutting myself, somehow figuring out new ways to hurt myself, etc.

It was mostly inspired by the whole "spring break" conversation I had about how some people get super drunk and just deal with consequences later.

But that would I think count.
Most people I think drink to do that.

Those are definitely not good ways to get it out though.

Pm me if you want any long distance relationship advice. Ive met a few girls me being a trucker and all. Sometimes things arent always as they seem.

I've known her for 10 years :)
It's not always as it seems indeed.

Then I can only wish you both the best.

I haven't really "cut loose" and just "gone with the flow of things" since I was a teenager...except for when my doctor put me on Prozac and I became a raging alcoholic, drinking rum until I passed out on a regular basis...which culminated in me requiring some 20 stitches on my wrist.
I quit the Prozac, quit the booze and lead as even-keeled a life as possible these days.
No more "cutting loose" for me, thank you!

Inzane - Wow that's a big change.

Hm, I think the last time I did any type of cutting loose would have been when I was in school. Shirking homework to go explore random places in Tokyo when I did study abroad, or go eat somewhere. Or just be anywhere other than my hot ass dorm rofl. And in uni it was still shirking homework, but to tag along with people I now don't really associate with.

Now, I don't really do that at all. I'm actually fighting myself so that I can achieve more order lol.

THE GINZA!

I let Jesus take the wheel pretty often, tbh. When I drink, I decide early on in the night whether or not I'm going full out or just hangin out, because if it's the former I drink heavily and deal with it later. I've hooked up with people drunk/otherwise inebriated because my drunk brain wanted to and then had to deal with the embarrassment/cringe-tastic-ness later lmao. Come to me whenever you need advice on big time mistakes: I am the master!!

Do you often regret it later Hau?

live and learn =3

For awhile yes, but I've also learned that my personality is one that likes to make mistakes because I will become bored and restless without these kinda things. Because the regret of not giving into every impulsive choice outweighs the potential regret of a dumb choice. I don't do things that are unsafe, just things that might be questionable to people who don't live that way lol.

At least you've come to terms with the issue
