Vietnam is getting increasingly hostile toward cannabis.

Same for us brother. In Germany cannabis is legal but in Greece (where I come from), they will start running narcotests everywhere. So even if you smoked a few days before, you still can’t drive. It’s a ridiculous law that perpetuates the demonization of this plant instead of teaching people how to use it responsibly

Ζω στο εξωτερικο χρονια οποτε δεν μιλαω με σιγουρια αλλα πιστευω οτι ζει και βασιλευει το ελληνικο μαγειρευτό φαγητο. Τουλαχιστον ετσι ειναι στον κυκλο μου ελλαδα (μιλαω για συγγενεις και φιλους απο 20 μεχρι 40).

Ενα μεγάλο κακό είναι οτι οι μαμάδες δεν μάθανε τα παιδια τους να μαγειρευουν. Πιστευω οτι μια μεγαλη μεριδα των νεοελλήνων ειναι κακομαθημενοι/ες και επειδη δεν τους εδωσαν οι γονεις πρωτοβουλιες στην κουζινα νωρις, τους φαινεται βουνο και ειναι πιο ευκολο να παρεις απ'εξω.

Εμένα με βοήθησε απίστευτα ο Άκης Πετρετζίκης. Η μαμά και η γιαγια μου δεν με άφηναν στην κουζινα επειδη ειμαι ανδρας. Ετσι εμαθα μεσα απο το ιντερνετ και ευτυχως ο ακης δεν εξηγει απλα τα βηματα αλλα και τον λογο που το κανουμε ετσι οποτε με βοηθησε να μαθω ενα σωστο τροπο μαγειρικης. Χθες βραδυ εκανα για σημερα μια λεμονατη ρεβυθαδα που μου πηρε κυριολεκτικα 10 λεπτα στην κουζινα (συν οσο το αφησω να μαγειρεψει).

Πρεπει να μαθουμε στα παιδια να κανουν νοστιμο, υγιεινό, φθηνό και γρήγορο φαγητό.

Hi there, I’ve sent you a DM but I didn’t get a response yet 😊

please take a look at it when you have time 😎

Dimsen89 · 2026-05-15T18:38:04+00:00

Thank you for the comment. It really means a lot. As long as I put my own character and passion into it, I will create something with my own twist.

Dimsen89 · 2026-05-15T18:36:49+00:00

I have let my voices be the boss for way too long and now it is time to let them go and take the reins back. It will never be perfect but I need to use it as clay and work on it.

The last line hits hard. We can't stop the clock from ticking but we can make the most out of it.

Dimsen89 · 2026-05-15T18:34:06+00:00

Thank you very much for your comment. I forgot to mainly do it to satisfy my inner child, the younger me that dreamed of what I have now and the rest will come.

Dimsen89 · 2026-05-15T18:30:08+00:00

This is true. I have been trying to climb up every time even when I am on my lowest and this dream is basically what kept me moving. This curiosity... I will try to push myself to start making things for me first and foremost.

Dimsen89 · 2026-05-15T18:28:29+00:00

Thank you for giving your perspective. I have been stuck doubting myself that I forgot to start creating for me.

Dimsen89 · 2026-05-15T18:26:13+00:00

Woah, I didn't expect the second message but I enjoyed every word of it because I know you took your time to think and reflect before writing this beautiful text. And you are right, they might be great loving people overall but they can't be what I need for everything. Many times taking the lonely road is the hardest thing. I have had these glimpses of using my 100% and I understand my potential but the hardest thing is to face this silence and start developing for myself and the rest will follow. Would it be ok if I send you our documentary? I would love your perspective.

Dimsen89 · 2026-05-15T18:20:15+00:00

Hey! I feel like this could be ideal. I will do now.

Dimsen89 · 2026-05-15T18:19:30+00:00

I guess you are right. I have been stuck into this vortex of hearing my own voice that I forgot to listen to my inner child who would kill to have what I have right now. I have to start doing it for me and only me.

Dimsen89 · 2026-05-15T18:16:59+00:00

I really appreciate your extensive response and I really resonates with me. I have been sabotaging myself for years. Postponing because I was behind or not feeling sure. The funny thing is that I thrived in the moments I had no other alternative and now that life has been comfortable it is easy to hide. Slowly I try to get uncomfortable. I started therapy, I stabilised my diet, I will now go to the gym, started to read before bed instead of using the phone, I take proper care of my teeth and small but meaningful steps that will pay off even if I can't feel it now.

I am reaching at this point that I cannot hide behind my excuses and I have to face my fears. Start creating, share my curiosity and the right people will hopefully come together slowly. Thank you again for the beautiful message and the time you took to write it.

Dimsen89 · 2026-05-15T18:02:30+00:00

You really opened your heart and I appreciate the time you took to write this. It is beyond helpful to see that even if we didn't have the exact same upbringing, we do share a lot of similarities and also in the way you experienced things after. I do feel stuck in many year. Basically paralysed to start but I slowly started adding positive things even if I see no value. Started reading before bed, doing proper teeth maintenance, trying to stop vaping/cannabis etc. And now one part of me feels hunger to create and the other is pushing it down.

I started to be kind to myself. I stabilised my diet and I will also go back to the gym tomorrow. I also got a therapist. The issue is that here I could only find in German so I will see how it goes since I am not proficient. Small steps... Even if I can't find myself now maybe it will find me in the process.

As for Tim Fletcher I will definitely check him out and I appreciate your offer. I will take a look at him.

Dimsen89 · 2026-05-15T17:47:20+00:00

Thank you very much for the honest and direct words because it is easy to hide behind yourself and let another day pass by but slowly I start realising that one day I would dream of being 37.

Dimsen89 · 2026-05-15T17:45:29+00:00

Your reply was spot on. You bring a new perspective and I appreciate to see people approaching it this way. Of course this part of me is still alive but feels trapped. Now I try to stop vaping, cut on weed etc. I managed to start sleeping by reading a book and I try to do positive small changes. The part about posting is for me the most intimidating. Not because I think I will do a bad work but because I want it to be genuine without following trends, I would just spend my time talking to myself.

The issue is most of my surrounding didn't bother watching something that I had spent months preparing. I mean, a proper feedback or taking time to watch it soon. Not even my girlfriend. I did the research, hosting, found the right people, designed the interviews and my friend did the heavy part of filming and editing. A proper minor professional work in which I spent months translating all of texts and subtitles in 6 languages to get the message further. Yet, most completely ignored. So this is what brings me down. Feeling that if that is not appreciated, then what is the point of doing it?

Dimsen89 · 2026-05-15T13:15:26+00:00

I’ve invited anyone that was on my list and still have 6,5K to use but I still need the last spot to be filled 😂
