This is wisdom, and wisdom that I need in my life. I've done a lot of my own growing up in the past year/year and a half, and I recognize a lot of the same patterns of thought (and behavior if I'm being honest, THC rocks) and feeling. I have assumed complete responsibility for my own wellbeing and happiness, and decided to compassionately let everyone else worry about themselves until I have my own stuff figured out, or at least more figured out than it is now. You seem like a cool dude, hope you're here for the long haul.I learned that the world isn't as black and white as I thought it was, and that some problems are harder to solve than they may seem to at first. I suddenly realized that other people also sometimes have to deal with this, and that lead me to acknowledge a whole other dimension to people's personalities that I had never really considered before.
Thanks a lot man, that means a lot to me. You have no idea (or maybe you do) how good it feels to know people out there have been where we are and to be able to relate to other people. Yeah, I've had to do this too. I've always been somewhat co-dependent on other people's wellbeing for my own but when this happened I just stopped having enough energy to deal with everyone else and with myself. I actually had to cut some people away during this and they were doing me more harm than good. Some of them I reconnected with recently, and some I haven't. It's life though, and sometimes you just have to focus on yourself. You shouldn't go around helping other people at your own expense. Thanks a lot man. You seem like a cool dude too, and I hope the best for you.
I think the lack of energy in us is because in the back of our minds we've come to realize some ugly and dark truths. Since 2008 it seemed touch and go for a while. What progress we make in this country can be rolled back by small minded, ignorant people afraid of change. We can't let that happen. It's weird here at hubski, it's like collectively most of are maturing. This is a good sign.
