Just come to terms, probobly through traumatic events, that all life is is rejection. Then there is no rejection. There all done!

One dog in my current line of work is too much already usually. However I always love it and makes me happy to give my attention to a pup. But I’d say in general no. Too many cooks.

Subtle

Active addiction and the hopelessness of hunger, legal trouble, and flexing my principles in order to function.

That is many people’s mentality, yes. It probably depends if you were the one being tortured or were close. Pain can be ignored if not directly felt, especially if it means whatever you think your survival entails.

I’m not comfortable with it, but I’m not comfortable with life either.

Hand tools. Wool socks. Fire extinguisher.

Absolutely. This is the only social media I use, cause i get really good stipulation here, otherwise I ignore my phone and have largely cut a lot of the b s out of my life. I’m a recluse by nature, so I feel you all the way.

“That people are stupid” was my first instinct, like I needed reddit for that confirmation, but it’s bewildering to me, still, to this day.

This answer resonates. I am not nearly as detail oriented as I’d like to be on most topics, even though I can feel their placement, and reasoning. Alot of stuff I read everyday is brand new to me tbh and I really don’t know shit outside of a very few small areas, with a side of some basic human behavior through my experience. I guess that’s why we come together (: all pieces of the whole.

My view from my window(they gave me one of the big rooms all by myself, the only one with windows, ptsd i think) was OK. Middle of nowhere farm and small Appalachian Mt chain. We had to sneak onto a ps3 to use youtube lol. One night i was watching lighting rolling around the sky and hills thru my big window, laying on my back, reflecting off the ceiling. I cried so hard, it was beautiful.

The rehab sucked. It really did. But I had so much fun. They tried to take our communal volleyball game over some bullshit and we flipped shit and got everyone riled up. We kept our fkn volleyball. …it was a state run rehab with everyone fresh out of jail. Never laughed so hard in my life.

I’m almost 1.5 years clean from a decade+ run on fent and benzos. Wouldn’t trade my experiences for the world, but I’m glad I’m myself now. Things are still fucked up, and they’ll always be for me, but I’m working on it…

It really is whatever you want it to be. Make it for yourself. <3

I’d never opt for it unless i couldnt function without it, and I sure don’t wanna live forever in a computer, or at all. The potential for abuse is astronomical. Let’s hope we have fought for a massive shift in consciousness before this comes to full fruition, right?

I’m no longer dumping my trash in landfills, I’m burning it instead.

We lost another one. I’m glad I made it thru my addiction alive…something I never thought I’d say “I’m glad to be alive”. If any of you have people in your life who are in active addiction, theres not much you can do besides be there when it all falls apart. Don’t take their actions personally. They exist in a prison within themselves. They do feel guilty, and probably want to die most days. Sending my love for all my people ✌️

What was I doing?

I wouldn’t call it addiction, in most cases it is dependence…unless your facing legal trouble due to your use, but keep smoking. But that’s more to do with shitty legal practices.

I’ve been addicted to real addictive substances and weed ain’t the same at all ime.

For long time users, stopping can cause some withdrawal symptoms, sure, but nothing worth fear mongering over imo.

It really varies person to person. Some people let it run their life. Others not so much.

I think many people just have a fundamental misunderstanding that they are indeed a part of something larger.

“It’s only natural” seems to be the go to.

The people in my personal life, though, are mostly just EXTREMELY wary of just about any information at all.

They are more comfortable putting shit down to some conspiracy, rather than looking at how awful some people are outright.

I don’t think they want to admit, or submit to the hopelessness of the situation, especially economically. So they rather keep themselves busy with petty bs.

Yea that’s fair. I feel like the issue lies in education tbh. Our schools don’t teach us much about practical things like the relationship between external and internal forces. I’m not for these types of warnings, I just thought that was reasonable compared to what I was expecting lol

The latest anime that wowed me was to your Eternity, especially if your into Eastern philosophy and stuff.

Hells paradise also wowed me as a straight battle Shonen that is quite beautiful, with lots of spiritual themes.

One Piece holds a special place in my heart. Watch up until time skip, then read manga.

Vinland Saga is amazing. Straight up. Great study of politics and humans search for power and inner peace.

For the record I consider HxH and FMA:b to be Shonen high water marks.

Some people’s idea of god is comically small.
