  • I’ll second this. I white knuckled my way through life for years. It sucked. Now I kind of get to choose when I don’t need the help. When I want to do some chaotic shit.

    If I’m working or working on an important personal project I’m medicated. But I want to explore 50 things and try new riffs on guitar or just go wherever the day takes me? I can do a couple of days unmedicated. And it’s fun! And I have no responsibilities I’m dodging so who cares if the laundry sits on my chair for two extra days? Then it’s back to being focused and calming that trainwreck in my brain.

    Like today. I had nothing going on. So I’m out here just freely flowing through life and not giving a shit. Monday I’ll need to get back on it.


  • I mean, you’re not wrong. And at one time I felt like it meant something. It meant we didn’t push our religion on others. They were free to do what they wanted. If someone was doing something we didn’t like but wasn’t hurting anyone we just minded our fucking business (usually said about LGBTQIA+ folks). It probably wasn’t nearly as true as I felt, but that’s the kind of thing I was taught growing up. And everyone wonders why I grew up to be progressive, respecting other people’s rights and mistrusting the government as it stands and corporations.
