| There's always a lot on my mind. In this moment? -I've been thinking about modern suffering, man without meaning outside themselves. -To be outside the zeitgeist of normal perception of understanding, I often feel that I'm speaking another language and people are either interested or confused. -How ... |

| Personally, I don't think it's strange at all. I grew up practically living in the hospital because of my physical disability and surgeries I had to get so I find comfort in the hospital because it was the only place I felt safe and properly taken care of. Obviously my parents weren't doctors so the... |

| A Netflix style series that's shot like a movie based on Terrence Mckenna's book, "True Hallucinations." There's no way that wouldn't be a blast. I've wanted this for a while, lol. |

| We can be anything we choose to learn. From my experience, it's the NT that commonly lacks basic empathy via repression due to fear of social rejection/"looking weak". From my own perspective, I know that I exhibit empathy but because I lack social skills, thus having a hard time initiatin... |

I could be smarter.
It's become apparent to me that most men (and some women) look down at women who are smarter than they are so I like to play dumb for their sake. |

| Hoping to travel the stars one day, sadly all I've ever had are my dreams, meditative experiences, and my imagination. I'd say I'm pretty far out there on imagination alone, so it's easy for me to talk to psychonauts in absence of a true experience. I've always been fascinated by whatever these subs... |
