How a mysterious white powder and a gorilla changed my life.
Yes it's exactly what it sounds like

A few years ago, I was a degenerate.
I was sober for about 20% of the week.
I would spend a lot of the week drunk, in pubs, clubs or just in my flat.
This went on for nearly a year until something changed my life,
My friend introduced me to two of his good friends.
Ketamine and MDMA.
Let me tell you something, these guys were so much fun.
I had some of the best nights of my life hanging round with them.
I remember one night particularly well,
Me and two of my best mates were sat around my flat thinking of stuff to do.
When we came up with the brilliant idea of inviting Ketamine and MDMA round.
We couldn’t wait.
If you’ve never met these two before, let me tell you a little bit about them.
MDMA is the most fun person you’ll ever meet – he makes you feel super happy, amazing about yourself and you just love everything about the world when you’re with him.
Ket is a bit of a weirdo. He makes you feel a bit confused; you don’t really understand anything that’s going on when he’s around. If you’re around this guy too much, you’ll lose all sense of reality and just curl up into a hole and wait for him to leave.
On this particular day, we decided to invite them both around at the same time.
You heard that right. I partied with Ketamine and MDMA at the same time.
And it was one of the craziest experiences I’ve ever had.
I’m not exaggerating when I tell you me and my friends were transported to Africa.
We were on the plain of a safari park surrounded by animals.
Lions, elephants, zebras, gorillas etc.
It was wild.
And it was a hallucination.
We were convinced that we were walking around a safari park in Africa, talking to animals.
We later found out that these animals were actually people.
It turns out that whilst we were hallucinating, a group of our friends had walked into my flat and found us lying on the bed, completely off our heads.
With the help of Ket and MDMA, we thought they were animals.
The next day, our friends showed us videos of what we were doing when we were with Ket and MDMA,
And I was horrified.
We looked like those crackheads you see wandering the streets with no brain cells to rub together.
It was a real wake up call.
It was time to stop fucking around and get my life in order.
I knew I couldn’t be that guy forever,
I wanted to make something of my life.
So here I am, building my dreams on Twitter.
I hope you will come along for the ride.
I still say that it was the best night of my life,
It was the most fun I’ve ever had, one of the craziest experiences I will ever have, and it changed me forever.
Speak soon,
Chris
