What are your thoughts on psychedelics, lads?
Acid's certainly made my summer better... it was fun hanging out with my best friend and getting to experience something like that together. It's great to trip in nature too, and at a swimming pool.
> sitting in my friend's backyard as a trip was winding down
> sun was setting, the colors were vivid and red tinted
> my gaze shifts to the crepe myrtles on his fenceline
> the magentas in its flowers is so vital, they stand out against the green, blue, and ochre, almost speaking to me
> I break the conversation and walk toward the blooms, and I examine them
> their delicacy and intricacy make me cry, more than I have in a long time
> My friend and I talk about it, the meaning of my life makes more sense to me:
> I have always enjoyed admiring the blossom of life, one way or another, and I have pursued expressing that blossom, finding pleasure in describing it
> the problem in my life is that in doing so, I desire at least part of the bloom to admire the bloom of my own essence in turn, which has never really happened, as I have been misunderstood or too inept to show it
> this is the main source of my sadness, and sorting through that with him was very therapeutic
> my friend suggested that a way to treat the sadness is to garden and manage my own blossoms, he shows me his wife's bonsai
> ever since, I've taken plants out of the wild, got a gardening set, and I am learning about the trees of the world and how to maintain bonsai trees, it's been wonderful so far
The best part of acid trips is conceptualizing the objects which fascinate you as archetypes, like blossoms and moss (that was the first thing that stood out to me tripping, like emerald fire), and applying them to everyday life. When my ego gets broken down, I love becoming my friend's other and trying to figure him out too. We have one more big trip planned this summer, when we kayak down a stream. I can't wait, anons
