Enjoy the drinks, enjoy the company. Stay up late once in a while.

I work in the morning.

Replace work with any important task, and you have a universal excuse to walk away from any social gathering.

Trust me, as an introvert, I’m an expert in this field.

The task in question may truly be worthy of your clear and focused attention. But this isn’t always the case.

Sometimes sacrificing a bit of tomorrow for a little more tonight is worth it. Time is fleeting.

Stay a little longer. Have another drink, and that conversation you’ve been meaning to have. Enjoy the company you’ve been blessed with.

Tomorrow might not be as comfortable as usual, but nights like this won’t always be there.
