The Fear is something we all experience after a hard night on it when you wake up the next day, with no knowledge of what happened, terrified of who you spoke to, what you said & what you did. Then whilst searchin... See more through your sent texts you feel even worse and want to hide under your duvet and never come out...sometimes it results to tears. In short- the worst feeling in the world ...ever.
The Fear- Crazy night...wake up... realise you have sent texts to everyone you know, even those you havent spoke to for years talking the biggest pile of crap every spoken. Followed by flashbacks of sheer evilness.
