Listening to Peddling Fiction Podcast<\/a>, and having thoughts about generational differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re a few years younger than I am, and they’re talking about the sex ed they got during school. My wife, who’s a bit younger than they, and I’ve discussed some of what she was taught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some crazy differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s kind of in relation to the new dread disease, Monkeypox<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fright really doesn’t affect me too much anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listening to and reading some of the reporting, I feel like I’m really missing the fear I’m supposed to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listened to an interesting ep. of Kennedy Saves The World<\/em> with Rep. Dan Crenshaw on using hallucinogens for PTSD. Amendments he worked on with AOC may or may not actually find law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know that I’m terribly interested, but there’s more than I once had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I wrote back in 1999 kind of illustrates that: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From August 6, 1999. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

No, I\u2019m not talking about carving N\u2019Sync logos into my arm with a razor blade\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this is an issue I\u2019ve been thinking about a lot lately. Some of these coping methods which seem so normal, can be termed as self abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s list some of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overeating<\/p>\n\n\n\n

not eating<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sleeping all the time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

not sleeping at all<\/p>\n\n\n\n

chainsmoking<\/p>\n\n\n\n

getting drunk off your ass<\/p>\n\n\n\n

coffee<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but there are so many\u2026..I tend not to sleep, and live off coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These normally are described as coping methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been said that happier people live longer\u2026..maybe it\u2019s partially due to the lower frequency of self abuse due to sadness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I\u2019m off to refill my coffee cup\u2026..later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

There still isn’t a big desire to “get wasted.” A bit of a curiosity, maybe, because I’m not sure that I even can at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intense experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I avoided them for most of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can I do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now, I’m doing the sorts of things that “normal” people don’t think twice about, and seeing how I feel afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One thing at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I think I’d like to do something “crazy,” and see what the experience is like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it’ll happen…..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
