whats wrong with me??

So...here I am in remission. I'm over four months clean. But now I'm doing other things over the top. Last week I died my hair bright magenta. I don't know why. It's so so damn fun. This weekend got my nose pierced. Wed. Getting botox.

I'm not a rock star. But I think I am. I'm not a celebrety but act like one.

My father said I'm having a mid life crisis. I feel like I'm running out of young time. Or I woke up old. More like I woke up with only a decade to be wild. None of my new behavior is dangerous. But did anyone else experience a coming awake. Party??

After eight years of drug abuse I forgot who I am. Now I know who I am Inside but I'm scarey to my family......

Why can't people let me be me for a while. I promise to calm down. But I have to revolt for a bit.

Is it a mid life crisis or a awaking off drugs

I see this all the time. Hey if it makes you feel better than do it. Just be careful with the tatts. Dont get them in places it may hinder you in the future. But yes, dying hair, tatts, earings, new car, clothes.... all same thing

How did the hair turn out? I've been wanting to go pink for a while. :)

Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with you. But then, I have no exposure to what people do when they're recovering. You're not hurting anyone, including you. So I say rock on with your bad self. ;)
