so i got to thinking about loneliness. is it an emotion or a state of being? it might be both. to feel alone is to be alone. or so j. safran foer says in everything is illuminated. i agree. the state of loneliness is is invoked by the feeling or literally, by not being near a person. we pick up on it just like we pick up on a white wall and want to fill it with pictures or words or colors. ideally we could take comfort in loneliness just like someone can take comfort in the nothingness of a white wall. and sometimes we do, but we can't forever. but we take notice of loneliness because naturally, one wants to do something about finding other people to share experiences with. here is where drugs would come into place and possibly fill that void. in most philosophical and completely idealistic levels drugs would make sense. but looking at them in a practical level. they fuck up people's lives. from being physically fucked up, to jail, homelessness, and all those worst case scenarios...they don't seem like a good option. especially if one

i have a feeling this will become an entry of my own at a later date...

i like my walls to be white. minimalism is my aesthetic just as it is my heart. and yes, it should be known that drugs are riddled with problems. hunter s. thompson addresses this in fear and loathing in las vegas, talking about the children of timothy leary's generation and that intrinsic optimism and idealism for the future. and how it died. see, i'm not a fan of addictive substances. namely, anything that gets you high. granted, my use of any drug has never gotten to the point of it 'necessitating' my existence. but i've certainly taken drugs to get high (weed, dxm, speed, etc.). and while that can be fun, there's really no substance to it. it's an easy way to feel good and get fucked up that really requires no effort. that said, i don't want to undermine the potential benefits of drugs. back in the day i had many life-changing introspective trips and revelations on dxm, not to mention the various deep creative catharses. but those instances are somewhat remote. it's not like every time i trip the yield of it is something profound

"lsd doesn't get you high. there's nothing to get addicted to."
your comment was completely fine until you said that. sorry, that is bs.

Dudette- you can give me a call not that I've ever been the best person for discipering you, but I can give you nice little get real quips if it helps. *hugs* You're never alone really.
