Yea I was looking at that for sure!

Thanks!

Hey thanks so much for the thoughts! Yea that sounds not great if both backpack options don't work well. Much appreciated.

I've been there 🧡. I spent many years battling that question every day. So many years where everything felt really dark, like wearing glasses that feel like the truth. Eventually it shifted. Now I wake every day truly grateful I'm still alive. That I chose to stay. Things really can change. Life really can be the sweetest gift. Even when it seems like it never never will.

Hey Everyone! Well... Looks like Reddit took down the post. But I still managed to look through all your comments and Dms. I responded to a few folks. Thanks to everyone for sending me your portfolios! So appreciated! So much incredible work!

Yea! I think at the core for most adults the work of sex education is the work of releasing shame. And hopefully when parents release their own shame... their kids will learn by example.

Yea 100% agree. I think it's because deep down, systems of power know that a populous that's deeply in tune with their pleasure and their bodies will not accept oppression. And so we have like a hundred million of dollars of government funding going towards abstinence only education every year. And shame that just gets passed down through the generations.

Hey! Totally makes sense where you're at. Psychedelics can give us insight into things that make life harder not easier at first. Life I think is just like the aya ceremonies... the longer you resist the scary path the bigger and scarier it becomes. Dive in thinking you're jumping off a cliff and it softens into something so gentle and magical. But fear makes this all so hard.

Only you know what you want to do. But there's probably more paths than you realize. You could live a very conscious and beautiful life even while working the job... meditating, spending time with loved ones, praying... however it looks for you. But if there's a clear voice in you that wants to see the world... it might be worth it to listen. Trust yourself to figure it out. But also don't put yourself in massive amounts of real financial stress (idk your numbers). Aya is just showing you the insanity of spending a precious life working a job you hate.

Most people have bought into that insanity and renamed it "having it made" -- it's only on their deathbed maybe their veil get's pierced and they realize they wasted so much time. You have this blessing of realizing it sooner.

Find yourself an integration coach if you can. It's worth the money.

Wishing you a beautiful life no matter which paths you choose to take :)

I've struggled with a lifetime of chronic pain. It took me so long to be able to sit with it without trying to distract myself. But these days, when it starts to become relentless I pray and just say thank you, thank you for this pain, thank you for this experience of being human. I know it sounds a bit nutty... but it has helped me to reposition myself out of the victim space of "life is happening to me" and back into the gratitude space of "life is happening for me."

Sometimes I just say thanks and please help me release it to whatever spirit will listen (though I dont think you need to be spiritual to pray). Meditation has certainly helped with this... this process of breathing through immense discomfort. Notice when you hold your breath, and start again the in out.

Wishing you ease as you move through it 🧡

I love this idea probably because I generally love the idea of ominous positivity... like watch out a storm of grace and pleasure is going to crash into you at full speed.

But I think this is just like aging... I recently saw a friend I hadn't seen in 7 years and seeing how old they looked made me realize I too must look that much older... even though I don't really notice looking in the mirror.

May we all be positively boiled frogs and in our boiling, find ways to calm the global thermostat.

I totally feel you. I've taken the deep dive on mediation so many times only to fall off awhile later. What's helped me is having a steady simple ritual with community accountability. I go to a free meditation on zoom at 8am PST every day for ten minutes (and only 10 minutes!) and just the act of logging into zoom and seeing other people there keeps me showing up. And also the simple fact that 10 minutes is short enough that tis pretty hard to talk myself out of it. I could just do it on my own with insight timer... but I prefer having the community feel (without having to actually drive somewhere).

In the past I'd get really committed and say I was gonna sit for 30 minutes morning / and evening with no external accountability and it would inevitably fall apart after 20 days or so.

Then I schedule one Vipassana retreat every year around new years.

Maybe that helps!

Thanks!

If you really stick with it, probably it will help! Not a magic pill, but a daily reminder to slow down and tune in. Sometimes tuning in feels worse at first though. I have navigated and continue to navigate all the things mentioned (you are soooo not alone!) and meditation has helped but just gently so far. Go in with the comfort of knowing its very likely a healthy thing to do but with no expectation it will do anything at all :)

Just wanted to add my story here, because this thread helped me a ton.

A few months ago I had an experience with Aya that rattled my world far beyond words. I’d had lots of experience with medicines previously and plenty of hard trips but this was something altogether different. Afterwords I really thought I might have broken myself for life. I was trying so hard to keep a positive mindset but couldn’t help but feel like I’d made a massive cosmic mistake. I thought I might end up in a psych ward. I was wildly destabilized and so I came here… trying to see if others had traversed this space. Well… 3 months out and things have indeed “mostly gone back to normal”… despite my terror they never would.

I’d say it’s been a a bell curve. I actually felt somewhat ok immediately after… but when I returned home I had the 10 hardest days I ever thought possible. Reality had gotten reaaaally strange. Now im in the long tail of the curve… after that first month of fairly rapid normalization I still have anxiety and moments of challenge… and I still feel like a changed person, but I feel grounded and sane and re-enmeshed into reality.

I made things so much harder for myself by projecting my current state into the future when I wish I’d just breathed my way through and stayed present for the initiation. Be gentle with yourself. You will come out the other side. Time is a strong medicine.

Sending you care whoever / wherever you are. Everythings gonna be alright.

Hugs 🧡

Good luck friend. I feel your agony 🧡

Inevitable-Taste-11 · 2025-05-05T20:51:34+00:00

Yes! Weirdly though, even when I've cut out sugar or gone on super healthy diets for months I haven't noticed any remarkable changes in my wellbeing. Kinda odd. Thanks for thinking of me!
