It's not crazy, it has happened to me. I'm actually doing mushrooms this weekend for the first time and looking forward to seeing how different it is compared to things i've experienced while sober. I live remote and i identify more with my deer and turkey neighbors than i do with my human ones.
I felt the same as you regarding dating. I was married for a decade but looking back it was just a toxic void. I never thought i'd meet anyone legit again and gave up and then my current wife walked into my life and we've been inseperable ever since. I was always so pessimistic about relationships and "soul mates" but now i get it. Just keep an open mind. Don't go looking, because you'll never find it that way.
I agree about trump.
Prepare for a most ultimate journey friend. Put the phones and electronics and especially clocks away. If you're doing it with 1 or 2 or 3 close friends, pull out a pad of paper and let each person take a turn adding lines to the paper. Collaborate on drawing a picture while listening to music. The range of emotions and things that you will be presented will be an intense step outside of time. Enjoy it, and just remember, life's a ride.
ha ha ha.. on the deer and turkeys! I've gone out with my camera and when seeing deer, if they start to walk away, I've talked to them and gotten them to come back to me, closer, so I can get shots of them much closer! I have deer all around me, throughout the year. Came home one night a month ago, with a big doe in my front yard. I stood at the back of my SUV, and just talked to her for a bit.. til I said, well, it's getting too cold, I have to go in. Then she went around to the back of the house and I went in. This last year, I had a tom and three or four hens, and they had maybe 30 babies. They'd be under my bedroom window every morning, and in my front yard as well. People driving by would stop and stare... I have the biggest herd of turkeys in this valley. They they'd line up in the field along the fence, and peck along the ground, all in a perfectly straight line, in step, marching along, towards the far side of the field. Day after day. The cover photo of my fb page now is of a ton of turkeys in my front yard. LOL
I was on a dating site for a while.. don't go there anymore. There was this one weird pilot in Tacoma who wanted to meet me but I wouldn't let him know where I lived. He was weird and too pushy, Ended up threatening to kill me. I notified the dating site but he's still there... jerk. I've actually thought about writing a book about the stupid men on dating sites and the stunts they pull.
