The Right Way To Look at The World

I've been watching the first season of The White Lotus and for those unfamiliar with the show, it follows a few rich families as they spend their time at a resort in Hawaii. Each family is massively flawed though one particularly caught my attention due to their conversations. The mother is a CEO of a multinational cooperation, the father is unknown but makes less than her, son is addicted to pornography and screens, and daughter is a drug addict with insane jealousy issues. They all have different ideas of what is right and voice them often.

This is a little different. I usually write these journal entries/blog posts when I’m high but tonight I’m drunk as fuck. I went out with some homies who I’ve known for so long and although I didn’t think I would, I had a great time. When I got home I felt a little nautious and threw up. I’m feeling better now and got the urge to write something. Being drunk is so much different than smoking for me. I guess I’m both right now but drinking really boosts some type of energy in me. I feel connected to myself and the world around me, I feel grateful for what I have. These feelings aren’t there when I’m sober or high. I doubt my relationships, my family, my friends, my future. I just can’t stop thinking about it. Now I feel great, I want to tell the people I love that I love them and I want this feeling of peace to last. I’m writing this cause I think I know that this won’t last, at least not in the short term. I will go back to my old ways of doubt, fear, and guilt and I guess that’s okay. For now though I’m happy, confident, and connected to myself.
