The years of drinking have ravaged me. The years of drug use have made me old. Years of sex have drained me of my very being.

Looking in the mirror this morning I saw a person that I had never seen before. I saw the oldest 26 year old on Earth. I've spent the last ten years of my life taking risks and being stupid, and it's finally caught up with me.

Sure, it was tons of fun, I enjoyed every second.

I can say that I've said and done things that most people would cringe at. I've tried the drugs, I've drank the drink, and I've made it with my fair share of beautiful women.

And what has it gotten me? Where has it gotten me?

Sure, I've got these experiences, but where do you draw the line? Is enough finally enough?

People say I'm crazy, they laugh at my decisions.

I'm respected by many, loathed my others.

But hey, who isn't?

That's the truth. There's a lot of memories in this head of mine.

Sounds like you've got a head full of stories, if nothing else. You've got what too many writers lack - a big pool of knowledge to draw upon.
