Don't think I've ever enjoyed it in the moment, but it always led to personal growth. So worth it?

Ehhhyeahish? Looking back at my multi-year heartbreak-precipitated alcohol-assisted breakdown and subsequent rebuild, the “enjoyment” was more of an aesthetic appreciation for how shitty I felt. Also thrill in the opportunity to try indulging self-destructiveness to the hilt.

I do get a temporary kinda invincible-Super-Mario thing where I feel almost no fear and can do anything — quit my job, climb something scary, go on huge adventures. not self destructive stuff, just “fuck it mode” stuff i wanna do but ordinarily wouldn’t.
