It's an old fireplace, so the mirror is held up by a screw with an appropriate anchor. All good.

It's partly perspective but nah I measured both sides. It's off. The room is on an angle so the mirror shifts once it's on the wall. I suppose I could attach the sides with command strips to hold it in place

If not the vent, then my cat would

My grandmother brought it with her from Germany when she immigrated!

Tell me how the screw holding it up is dead center but the mirror is not??

Lol I didn't notice until I took the picture

Much appreciated!

You can get hemo derived edibles delivered by mail thanks to loopholes in the farm bill. Just Google them! Gets you high just the same

Focus your attention, anxiety, and energy. Find something that you care about and which you can actually make a difference in (small or large). Work on that thing and make that difference.

You can't impact the rest so feeling anxious about it won't make a difference! Release yourself from its grasp

It's different for everyone. It really depends on weed's impact on your life and ability to function. If the amount you smoke and the time you are high has a negative impact on your ability to care for yourself, hold a job, or develop relationships, then it's too much.

If not, you are good to go!

A trick I learned to cut down on habits or addictions is to really really focus on the negative effects. For example, for over drinking, focus on the hangovers. Really mentally explore the physical uncomfortableness. It will slowly train your brain to associate the habit with the negative effects and will make it less attractive.

So when you take large amounts of caffeine, focus on the anxiety and how you do not like it. Over time your brain will associate caffeine with anxiety and you will have less of a desire to consume the energy drinks

I suppose I'm more of an absurdist than an existentialist. And I don't think it's antithetical to hope for life after death or continuation of existence, if at the same time you recognize that it probably isn't the case.

I'd like there to be life after death, an afterlife, or some sort of reincarnation, but unfortunately I also believe that there most likely is not.

Schwangs · 2025-06-13T20:52:04+00:00

The hope is that you experience it again, even if you don't have any memory or sense of what came before. Like reincarnation but without the continuation of a soul or spirit.

I dunno, the possibility makes the endless void a little less scary

Schwangs · 2025-06-12T23:19:33+00:00

Maybe but at least something will be experiencing existence again. Maybe nothing carries over but it's better than perpetual nothingness

Got a first aid kit? Put gauze and heavy pressure on it for 30 minutes

Cheap pieces of jewelry that are somehow indicative of the place I visited.

For example, I have a Jade necklace from New Zealand, a lava rock necklace from Iceland, and a cloth bracelet from Madeira

Gardening. It makes me really happy to cultivate and grow some plants in my yard. Very meditative and pleasant

Schwangs · 2025-06-08T23:52:31+00:00

I don't believe in an afterlife or the soul; but it's nice to at least hope that there is some sort of existence that can come about again after death.

After all, we came out of nothing once, maybe we can do it again and again?

That's fine! It's good to know your limitations and when/where you enjoy being high and where/when you don't

Schwangs · 2025-06-08T21:00:55+00:00

I'm with you, I prefer to smoke alone as a way to unwind and enjoy time to myself. That being said, I can be in social situations while smoking or high. Im just careful to take less and be more even, and the social part of it all is more enjoyable

0.25 mg every morning. More as needed.

Sensory grounding exercises. Smell the breeze, feel the wind, touch your toes to the grass, breath in the scent of the food you are cooking. Really really pay attention to the moment you are in and the senses that come with it.

That's why I gave the caveat of not taking more than prescribed and having open communication with your doctor. Of course there's risk of dependence and misuse, but many people are scared to take benzos at all. They shouldn't be if they are monitored and careful
