I had a really shitty last summer/fall, and in the fall I started smoking cigarettes. Mostly while drinking. It wasn't too much - probably one cig a week or so - but I stopped around November/December just cuz I figured I should. It was pretty out-of-character for me. A couple weeks ago, I was telling an old friend about this, and just thinking and talking about it really made me want to start smoking again. I'm not exactly sure why. I guess I just enjoyed the social aspect and the atmosphere of just having a late night cigarette with friends or strangers. Also it seems like all the really interesting people in life are smokers.

I've always been a really healthy person with my lifestyle habits. In the last five or so years - especially so in the last year - I've also been super good about being frugal with my money. In the past month though, I've relaxed both of these habits. Not being overly unhealthy or spending a ton of money, but just not being an uptight freak about them. It feels damn good.
