It’s just so legitimately nice to not be consistently faking it any longer.
The fact that I’ve spent most of my adult life living an act was a real surprise to a lot of family and friends.
But the truth is the truth and I’m gonna live that truth. Part of my change came with a visit to the cannabis dispensary. I guess that sounds weird but it’s the truth. And that trip to the local cannabis spot was sort of a fluke as well. I happened to be with an old buddy and he wanted to check out a cannabis dispensary. Recreational marijuana is still illegal where he lived. Both of us got some sativa products and a sampler of hybrid strains for sale. It had been a long time since I had imbibed in any sort of marijuana products. But I was game since it was the dude who I once smoked a ton of cannabis with back in the morning. That evening, it all sort of began to unfold for me. My buddy was also instrumental as he was even-handed with me about point blank questions I asked about my life. That evening was a tipping point. And I made more trips to the local cannabis spot. The more truth I faced, the more I realized that I only have the 1 life and I’m determined to live it to the fullest. Since then, I’ve made some giant swings with work and my lifestyle. And I just don’t care what anyone else thinks. This feels so nice to just live completely authentically on my own terms. For the first time in my adult life I’m not living an act version of myself.
