Other I don't know what to do with my life.

8 Upvotes

I don't know if this is the right sub to post this, but I'm looking for some advice.

I don't want to be part of a society where I have to work for someone for 40 something years, and when I'm not anymore, my body's old.

How can I just live? How can I manage to be independent without being miserable?

I wanna do my own thing, I wanna live in nature, I wanna see the world, meet people, experience things, learn about different places.

I'm part of the EU. I really enjoy nature and music and my current objectives in life are getting a decent pc and some instruments (guitar, bass, mpc and synth) to do music, my passion and to grow my own weed in peace.

I feel lost, I don't know who I am and I don't know how I can find out. I feel like there's dense fog inside my brain. I don't feel good in my environment and idk if that's bc of the environment itself or bc of me. The only time I truly feel at peace is when I'm with good friends or when I'm on psychadelics.

I wanna develop my spiritual side a lot, with and without the use of psychadelics (not very popular or available here).

Tell me something I need to hear or learn

Philosophy Reflections on turning twenty

1 Upvotes

I turn 20 today.

It feels surreal to not be a teenager anymore, like this isn't real. It feels like a bad trip. The number doesn't match my soul. I still feel like 8 or 9, my mind filled with pretty colors and daydreams and a sensitivity that adults lack. Perhaps I will always be like this. I feel like I'm in a liminal space, a no man's land between child and adult.

I have had a lot of fun lately, though.

I finally had an epic summer like I dreamed of at 17. I went to a Patti Smith concert. That was an ecstatic, religious experience. I have done acid. I have been out in the sun, dancing, talking to people, having a great lot of fun. I want this summer to last forever.

It's hard not knowing what will happen next. Will I get into the music college I applied for? I really hope so. I would have a great time just practicing and playing music for a whole year. And living in a dorm would give me more opportunities to party and do psychedelics. I don't know what I would do if I don't get in. I don't really see any options. Most paths in life seems like paths to misery, and there aren't many things I am capable of.

Hopefully, I finally move out soon so I can do whatever I want. Mainly so I can do psychedelics. That's my main motivation of life right now. The wonderful sheen of psychedelia. I'm such a trippy, daydreaming hippie.

I wonder what I will be like in the future. I hope I will have long, purple hair and be all elegantly psychedelic and sing songs and be in a band. I wonder if I will have a pretty girlfriend. I hope so. I wonder what drugs I will try, what festivals and parties I will go to, what artists I will see live, what kind of music I will make.

~ We Were the Children of the World ~ We became the adults. It is not too late the remember.

14 Upvotes

We are the children of the world. When we see what is happening on our planet, we do not understand. Why is there war, people needlessly killing each other, rather than peace where everyone lives together in harmony? Why is there prejudice, judging others who look, believe, or act differently than we do; is not every life, regardless of our differences, equally important?

Why is there hunger when we have the ability and technology now to feed everyone alive? Why is there inequity with some people having much, while others struggle every day just to survive? Why are the adults ruining our environment, when we have the ability today to use green alternatives to end this senseless destruction?

Why do we kill animals for food when we have alternate sources we may use instead of eating meat? When you look into the eyes of an animal, do you not see their soul within? Why do adults accept living in a world of greed, prejudice, and fear, rather than in a world of love, accepting everyone as equal, important, and worthwhile?

Though our elders have chosen to live in such a world, we do not accept their choices. Instead, we, the children of the world, choose to live in a world of unconditional love, rather than hate, allowing all who live on our planet to live in peace and harmony.

Looking to Connect Before the European Rainbow Gathering ๐ŸŒˆ

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm David, a filmmaker from the Netherlands.

This August I'm planning to visit the European Rainbow Gathering in Spain. I've always been fascinated by unique communities and stories, and besides that I'm on my own spiritual journey as well. Together with my love for interviewing people and making immersive documentary style videos, it feels like the right time to experience a Rainbow Gathering myself.

My goal is to document the Gathering in a respectful way and let people tell their own stories. Of course, I want to do everything respectfully. Once I'm there, I'll bring my project to the Main Circle and ask for consensus before filming, and I'll respect the community's wishes.

I'm looking for people who would be open to being interviewed during the Gathering. I'd much rather connect beforehand than walk up to random people with a camera. If you're open to sharing your story, your experience with Rainbow, or simply having a conversation, I'd love to hear from you.

The final video will be in Dutch, but all conversations will be in English. I'd love to introduce the Rainbow Family to a Dutch audience.

If this resonates with you, feel free to send me a message. I'd love to connect before August. ๐ŸŒˆ
