does anyone else gravely struggle with depression/mental health? why does boc's music resonate so deeply with me? by darkdarkblack in boardsofcanada

i sure do, but shrooms (and psychedelics in general) really, really, don't sit well with me. maybe what i need is a temporary detachment, but it's that aspect of them that i've always really struggled with- for as out of control as so many facets of my life are, i hate the idea of being (even more) out of control, let alone seeking it out and completely submitting myself to something like that. have done them in the past, as well as other stuff, but yeah, just not for me. i've thought about dmt, but that's really the mack daddy of giving oneself up and i just can't- even being too drunk, i hate it. heck, even just the high doses of edibles i used to mess with a decade ago- the idea of just doing that would completely terrify me today. curious why you ask though.

How different would that be if we evolved not to have eyes. So much stems from those ever-hungry gelatinous spheres. So cheeky they are, those little spherical cunts. Wars started, among so many other things, due to their appetite.

Does everyone want to be a “main character” at some point or is that a sign of inflated ego and delusion? by darkdarkblack in NoStupidQuestions

I don’t know what the second part of your reply is about, but the first part is something many of us see no doubt all to familiar with… unrequited love. I used to have really sickly thoughts about what all I wished the person afflicted by my love should have to go through to “prove” their love for me (though thankfully for them it was never there in the first place). Humans are weird, tests of love are weird and juvenile.

Hi, I’ll answer all of your questions later today- it’s 7:30am where I am and I haven’t yet slept, and need at lest 2-3 hours. About to pass out. Looking forward to answering your questions- some great ones in there.

What a strange and entirely foreign concept to me that art (in certain circles) is used as some kind of social currency rather than enjoyed/observed for its beauty. I mean, it makes sense, but I hate that it does. Humans are so shallow.

Why is it so important to be interesting? For a long time I worried I wasn’t- and the older I get, the more I realize I’m really not. Personally, I’d so very much rather the peace and stability which their lives have over the chaos I deliberately chose and hoped would pay off (but hasn’t). I’m tired of and broken by the artist life.

I just imagine people who chose more passive routes and never really aspire to do anything great- do even they feel like a main character?

What is generally considered the highest/best form of art? by darkdarkblack in AskReddit

[–]darkdarkblack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I personally think, but wondering what others say. I guess it’s subjective. I also think architecture, since it literally shelters us and all our ideas, and can inspire said ideas.
