Topic 137. Have you ever woken up in the morning and not remembered what you did the night before?

I've never actually woken up and not known what I'd done the night before, but I have told people that. There are times when you do things you regret and you don't want to hurt people's feelings, so it's easier to act as if you don't remember what happened. It's easier to lie than to deal with the consequences of honesty. A lot of these events happened during college. I was trying to figure out who I was, convincing myself that I wanted to be with women, and I had a few one night stands as a result. It was a lot easier to leave in the morning if I blamed too much alcohol for the tryst. Looking back on it, I suppose that was cruel but at the time I thought I was doing a good thing. If I'd owned up to knowing exactly what I was doing, the girls would want to see me again, and more often than not, I had no desire to see them again.

There are a few things I wish I couldn't remember, but every bad or awkward situation can be an opportunity to learn. I think. It sounds good, anyway.
