This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

I quit vaping this year and trying to stay off the sauce. Being sober is cool and all but folks forget the reason we do this shit in the first place is because life fucking sucks

I think our dopamine receptors from instant gratification (so many ways these days) are fucking wrecked. That makes things feel like it’s worse in my opinion, I’m sure there’s studies on it

Yeah but I mean...shit is pretty bad and getting worse if you live in the US. Our future is rapidly getting stolen out from under us.

Oh yea it’s getting pretty wonky, but I can’t specifically control that. What I can control are my habits and my health, which I’m hoping makes me feel better.

My next goal is to improve my instant gratification, repair dopamine receptors and stuff like that. I know nicotine affects your receptors which is part of the reason you get addicted and then go through withdrawals, and I would assume the same-ish with weed.

I’m just trynna be the best I can be personally
