You can pretty much vibe out the answer by looking at how the world is today. We have as standard devices in our pockets at all times that can connect us to anyone else. Anyone can create a video message that can be seen by pretty much anyone and everyone on the planet.
In theory we have more power and potential unity than any other human society in history, and its somehow getting worse.
We all started playing a massive game of pretend, where we all pretend to be the adults we saw when we were kids. You cant stop playing, theres bills to pay.
I was going to put something different, but id like to change my answer. This is the correct one.
Specific advice like “save your money” and “enjoy your money while youre young” and “focus on education” and “forget education get a job fast” are all too nuanced and will likely get ignored anyway.
This “song” pretty much covers the important stuff.
A weird hobby of mine used to be collecting pictures of camgirls balancing shoes on their heads. I misclicked the [ x ] on a camgirl popup ad, and discovered that it wasn’t a big link to some site, but an actual chat room with a live girl. For anyone unaware, you can talk to them for free, while they try and lure you into paying for whatever acts you want to see. I told the first one I don’t believe they are real because I didnt, and to balance a shoe on her head so I can see its not just a collection of prescripted gifs or something. She did it. Screenshot. Did it to a few more for the lols. I had a few thousand over a year or two before I finally lost interest.
Also telling them how cool it was they keep tarantulas as pets, because I just saw it go behind that poster on the wall.
I dont feel proud of myself now, they were at a point in their lives where taking their clothes off for a few quid on the Internet was a good idea, and I was just fucking with them. Was fun though.
I dont want to discourage you from getting clean and healthy, but you kind of can’t feel the same joy from sobriety.
There are certain moments in life that will blow regular drugs out the water (cant speak for hard drugs/DMT), like getting married, seeing your kid get born, achieving a lifelong goal etc. The problem is they’re just moments. Life is absolutely dull when sober, but once youre used to it its just fine.
