With your life, or artificially happy, knowing it’s temporary?
To be clear, this post is semi-autobiographical. My life’s not bad, just kind of dull. Recreational cannabis use is legal. Am I wrong to enjoy it? Should I focus on improving my life instead of getting high?
What happened to your title? Part of it fell into your post
It was too long, and that’s what happened. It was one of those days.
Dissatisfaction is a good thing. It’s the fuel that pushes you to do something. Maybe it’s something big like switching careers or cutting ties with toxic relationships, but most often it’s small things like picking up a new hobby, volunteering, or taking a vacation.
Don’t dismiss dissatisfaction. Look into your life and see what you need to change.
You can do both, though.
Work on it for a while and then relax. Then work a little more then relax. Progress without pressure.
I agree with a lot of the posts here. It can be great to relax, but try not to use it as a crutch. I’m this way with alcohol. I don’t reccomend shaming yourself for your vices and coping mechanisms, but look closely at what it’s doing to you and try to keep it under control. Set rules, arbitrary as they may have to be, to make sure you can improve your life and enjoy it while you do it. Maybe workout, volunteer, or work on a hobby first. Maybe as simple as no weed on weeknights and/or during the day. If you break the rules you set, don’t feel ashamed, just acknowledge it and move forward. Some people when trying to improve their habits will “break a streak” then feel like they failed and give up.
I would recommend finding something interesting to do, stimulating your mind instead of dulling it.
Challenge yourself, find the spot where you are just a little uncomfortable with what you are doing to stimulate personal growth.
I don’t see anything wrong with an occasional blunt, but regularly smoking weed will fuck you up in the long term, do not recommend. How about a hobby?
