  • You are the only person who is fully stuck with you and vice versa. You have to live with your choices and behaviors, and I’ve never met someone who genuinely both should and does have no regrets.

    You will fail to be a good person, you will disappoint people you respect, you will fuck up on the job and in your relationships, and you will be the asshole sometimes. Treat each of these instances as a chance for growth and humility. A sincere apology and putting effort towards being better in the future will go very far. And when others do the same show them the grace and kindness you wanted when you fucked up.

    That said, some people are in destructive places and will keep fucking up and hurting people, understand when you can’t help and when it will hurt you to stay in their life.


  • Yeah, very few people can do opiates recreationally without addiction. Same goes for tobacco. Meth will fuck you one way or another (if you have adhd it may help while being a rough version of the treatment and basically guaranteeing you can’t get the helpful stuff if a doctor finds out).

    Stimulants don’t make you smarter, but they do make you more confident, this is a dangerous combination.

    Research every drug before you put it in your body, know the risks and be comfortable with them. And check drug interactions online with every recreational drug you’re taking with each other and with your prescriptions. Lots of drugs have interactions both positive and negative with each other and while sometimes that’s a uniquely good time or a particular perspective, more often than you think there’s a risk of serotonin sickness


  • Yeah in college I experienced both extremes. I spent about a year and a half completely isolated, just traveling between classes and my dorm. It was self destructive and my grades and mental health suffered. Then I made some life changes and started going to clubs and events and made friends and suddenly it was easier to study even though I had less time. I became extremely social and found myself spending nights doing everything from deep discussions of big ideas to long nights drinking with friends to lots of casual sex to long nights working on projects.

    Because of all this I left college far more well rounded and prepared for my career and my marriage. To this day the skill of how to make friends and positive acquaintances has stuck with me and been a majorly useful skill.


  • Your social life as an adult is very much what you make it. Go do things that seem interesting even if you feel you’d rather stay home. Chat with people when you’re there. A huge component of modern loneliness is that we’re able to stay entertained and with a crude social life without seeing others irl, but it’s often not actually sufficient. So go get involved in something hobbies, activism, whatever events look interesting at the time. And remember that the things you do now are the memories and stories you’ll have when you’re old.
