Sassy 💋
"I don't feel ashamed to be loud, which is an argument I've had with lots of men who thought I was too sassy and unladylike."

> in my eyes | the confidence machine
Just because I'm sober now doesn't mean the rules of perception no longer apply to me.
For example, I have more confidence in sobriety. 😵💫
- But anyone around me at any time could say I'm actually just an arrogant asshole disguised as a charming sober person.
Anyone at any time could interpret me as deliciously obstinate or irresponsibly sassy or ruthlessly sentimental.
They could say I'm a worse person in sobriety, not a better one. I can't control another person's interpretation of reality.
I know intellectually that these are all just words made of air. But they're words dense with meaning and power. My inner war over words and their power never ends.
What's right with me?
What's wrong with me?
Why do I have to care so much?
Do I care too little?
Do I care about the wrong things?
