Long awaited entry
As you may or may not have noticed, I recently took a 'break' from the internet... which was needed.
This past week has been amazing.
I got a new cell [a picture phone]. It's badass.
I also met a boy, sort of. He's the manager for the Cingular Wireless department in Antioch. He actually asked for my number... a rarity for me. His name is Jeremy, he's cute, has a job AND CAN LEGALLY PURCHASE ALCOHOL. Haha.
In addition to that, Clair spent the night with me this week. <3
The past month I had been heavily considering experimenting with hallucinogens, and on Thursday Clair and I did shrooms. It was absolutely surreal. The feeling was simply euphoria in it's entirety... although, I did endure a few disturbing images. I also appreciate nature so much more now. I strongly recommend eating some magic mushrooms and taking a walk in the park.
Not only that, but I also feel that if someone is going to experiment with these things, they really need to educate themselves about them. People just ingesting these substances and diving in without any preparation about what they'll be experiencing provide them no frame of reference, so they're missing out on all these new perspectives. It's just a waste.
Some may reach a little bit of spiritual enlightment and end up going 'Well, now I need the drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drug [in moderation] to get there, and maybe spend the next few years trying to get back there without it.
Evidently, for me, this was never about just getting 'fucked up' or what have you. I had a much more serious approach to this idea.
The only reason psychedelics ever interested me is because they are said to be powerful therapeutic aids - and I'm on this sort of spiritual quest. It's about personal growth and exploring yourself in new ways.
