A TV show bought my friends a new backyard and I got drunk in it last night. This seems like one of those only-in-L.A. experiences and a thing to do to say you did at some point in your weird and winding life. They recently bought a house and a design show spent last week giving their backyard a makeover. It’s really their story, and it has nothing to do with me except that the culmination of it all included a filmed housewarming party and the unveiling of the yard. Also, bottle after bottle of wine.

So I had some wine and I talked nonstop about nonsense and whatever else in their crazy new garden. I rode in the passenger seat on the way home and laughed. Then, I laughed alone on my side of the bed, under the covers, wondering if I’d been too obnoxious at any point and hoping that I hadn’t been.

This morning I made coffee and sat in the grayscale light of our dining room, sad that the summer weather had apparently passed on from the city. Everything was faded and washed out and cool. I don’t much suffer from hangovers physically; sometimes a headache flicks in my skull, pattering wishes of badmorning badmorning badmorning. Most often, on the occasions where I’ve emptied a bottle or glass upon glass, I can still bounce back, excited for caffeine and snacks and a day cut wide open. My hangovers are more readily emotional. Absence: the empty cups, evaporated chatter, and vacant rooms. My mental spaces become tauntingly sour, never satisfied or sated enough. Never enough, never enough of a good thing. It is the bleak inverse of a good time and the exaggerated, baseless uncertainty that another will ever come again.

If you know that there’s almost nothing you can’t walk away from, you can save yourself tons of money. Years of time. Mountains of headaches and heartaches. Boatloads of suffering.

So true. I’ve done this a lot of times and I’d say this is one of the tools you should definitely have in your effort to live a simpler life. Build your ‘being able to walk away’ muscles. It’ll save you a fortune!

Having the ability to walk away also gives you the final say in negotiations. Ultimately, no matter what, you will always have the upper hand.
