Parameters: You have one piece of lined paper to answer the prompt in a sober and drunk state of mind. You’re considered drunk when you believe it to be so. It’s encouraged to respond to the prompt while sober the day before you write it whilst drunk. Give it a day in between to forget what you wrote sober, and then let the good times roll.
Prompt: How would you feel if they found a cure for Type 1 Diabetes
Sober Response: 10/3/25
I’d find out the news from my mom, that’s the only way it’d make any sense. She kept me alive with it from when I was diagnosed right before I turned 2.
Actually, Mom get’s her news from David Muir on the 6pm ABC world news so unless the cure was found at 5:59pm, I’d probably find out there was a cure for my chronic disease by a Tiktok post someone from freshman year of college sends me, with a short text reading, “you’re free!’
And I’d be like, “bitch, don’t lie to me!” especially if a man sent me the news.
In all seriousness, I’d feel… confused. Like what would my subconscious spend all of it’s waking hours sifting through now? Will this recent occurrence of events dull my sparkle?
I’d be happy for all the other type 1 diabetics. But personally?
Without T1D, I probably would be more of a square. And that I don’t wanna that start now.
