I don't drink or do drugs but I will never label myself as Straight Edge because:

>Not in highschool

>Could not give a fuck if everyone else wants to live a different lifestyle than I do

>I like being able to give a bottle of wine to a friend for her birthday without having a moral crisis over it

>Not naive enough to pretend my perspective will remain unchanged until I die (who the fuck would I be kidding if I pretended I'm not gonna want a glass of wine with dinner when I'm 60 fucking years old?)

>Straight Edge has been ruined by innumerable sententious faggots who are only on the bandwagon until their local scene blows over and they decide it's now cooler and more convenient to smoke meth

>So many terrible, terrible edge bands out there (seriously, apart from a select few '80s bands, the vast majority is just generic, cheesy, preachy, vapid bullshit, and that's without even mentioning the '00s HxC fad)

>People who DO drink and do drugs are usually a lot more fun to be around than I probably am. I'm boring and quiet as fuck with very few friends... but at least I'm not part of some poser 'crew' or saving up to have tats lasered off.

I do have pic related up on my bedroom wall though, as a reminder that determination and discipline can do great things for a person.
