Is Love Really a Drug?

I, I, Bukowski is a guy that people hold up or same with Hemingway, guys who were very poetic, but were complete gutter drunks. He probably thought, look, if I don't keep writing as though I'm drinking every day, people aren't going to be interested in me anymore. So then you just start lying. You start acting. That's self-esteem shit, though. And that's maybe, maybe you've cultivated a pretty dumb fan base If that's a concern or maybe that's coming from within and you're just really insecure.
