i've regularly stayed out hours later than i wanted to and regretted it the next day. i don't really know what even keeps me out, it's like the "what if" feeling that something amazing might happen at 4am but it usually doesn't. last night i told myself that no matter what i would walk home at 1:30 and then i did and it felt so nice
once I started doing what I wanted to do instead of trying to keep up appearances I was set free. It feels so much better to not overdo it and makes me enjoy going out even more.
Some of my favorite nights have been ones where I go to a show, dance, get hammered with my friends and then leave before everyone, walk around the city and sit in a burger place drenched in sweat on my own for an hour.
stay tuned for my alternative recommendation of "Staying later and being glad that you did"
