For the nth time, I don't want to drink.

noisy neighbors, rude customers, jerks and drivers who doesn't follow traffic rules aside, one thing that s never fails to annoy me so much is being forced to drink.

i don't know, it really annoys me when someone tells me that i am missing half of my life because i am not drinking. it annoys me when people tells me that i am being KJ because i don't want to drink with them. it annoys me when someone is bugging me and forcing me to take "just one sip".

what annoys me the most though is that, oftentimes the people who does this are my friends. everytime this happens, i ask myself if these people are really my true friends. i'm sorry, no offense to my friends who are reading this but i always believe that true friends respect their friend's choices and beliefs. i respect your lifestyles because that's what you chose, that is how you want to live but don't choose my lifestyle for me because i have already chosen mine.

besides, if you're my friend then you should know by now that if I want to do something I will do it even if i do it alone. You should know me enough to know that if i  want to do it, you don't have to tell me twice. And of course, you should know as well that when I say no, it means no.

you can drink all you want and drown on it for all i care. i will not judge you or tell you that it is wrong and force you to stop. you are old enough to make that decision for yourself. you can party all you want and i will not stop you. you can date anyone you like and i will not stop you. you can make decisions,choose what you want to do and do what you want to do with your life and i will not stop you.

i will not enforce my beliefs on you. i will not lecture you about all the negative effects of what you are doing because i am pretty sure you already know of that. but please, do not enforce your beliefs on me as well. do not make choices for me, i am old enough to do it myself.

how would you feel if we reverse places and i force you to do something that you are clearly against? you would be angry right?

so please. i am begging you. don't ask me to drink. don't offer me a drink if it's not water, juice, milk, tea or softdrinks. stop telling me that i should try it because if i wanted to, i would have done it a long time ago.

i am not angry. i am just really tired of hearing it.
