How bad i am at communicating. Not all of our issues stem from this, but i did start to realize that i am terrible at saying what needs to be said to be understood.
I also found out how different people are. Everyone is motivated by something different. If you don’t spell out your motives, then the other person is gonna assume they’re the same as their own and completely miss your point.
I felt the exact same way reading that.
Thanks op! This is the mindset i want to keep.
That is really cool you were able to do that!!
Did you have to figure out how to care for him on your own or did you have help? What special treatment does he require since he doesn’t have scales?
I didn’t even have to pay for mine, and I’m American. Go figure…
I had a PAX when they first came out and never really got the chance to figure out how to use it. I could never find the right temp and it felt like i was going through the bud too fast. I suppose i just didn’t know how to use it.
I didn’t have it very long because, unfortunately, it was confiscated by the authorities and i never got another one.
I need to give it another try.
“I’d become paralyzed with fear over the fact that anything exists at all”…“I now find myself seeing the universe, consciousness and death very differently (largely in a good way.)”
It really does help your mind come up with some awesome ideas.
I don’t know if it was weed specifically or my education and life experiences, but I’m comfortable with the idea that we can’t know anything with absolute certainty. And since none of the questions about our existence can be answered (yet?) we get to be creative.
I can understand how it can be scary, though.

Wow, that’s really cool!
I really don’t feel comfortable asking, but I’m going to anyways. How much have you spent? A range would be acceptable if you don’t want to say the exact amount.
Woodworking is a fun one!
I’ve only taken a few shop classes in high school. But one time i got to refurbish a bunch of old lumber into a doghouse. It was pretty shitty, but it worked and the dog loved it.
Maybe trying new hobbies is your hobby. That might be the best one so far. You’ll eventually find a great one if you keep it up.
I bought my guitar about twenty years ago and probably learned how to play half a dozen chords before the pandemic. So i did nearly the same thing.
Humans have to experience something to really understand it. And anything that effects our bodies, and panic attacks definitely do that, is really hard to understand because we can only take the word of that person. There isn’t anything that we can see that would make someone behave that way. So there’s always going to be a part inside of us that thinks it’s not as bad as it is.
And not because we don’t believe the person either. We just can’t know how another person is experiencing their pain.
There are countless ways we can find to cope. As long as it makes us happy and we can understand and accept its full effect on our lives, then i believe it’s great to have.
I started smoking weed again during the pandemic, and was probably just old enough to do that responsibly. I definitely wasn’t when i was younger and couldn’t handle my substances well.
Guitar playing and weed is the best.
I think we all go through those phases with our hobbies. What makes it great is that we found them in the first place. As long as we can pick them back up after some time away and still get the same enjoyment, then we’ve found something special.
Kind of like old friends you can hang out with like you never spent a day apart.
Awesome! A hobby that refurbishes is great for the environment!
I just recently started playing. It’s definitely something that gets you out and about, which is great!
But you do have something! Your hobby was productive even if short lived. There’s always a chance to pick it back up someday.
Writing on the wall, man. We gotta know what it says!
