aaaaaaaand crisis averted.

I'm so proud of how much I've grown.
I'm so proud of myself. I've become so much kinder, more compassionate, positive, helpful, intelligent, attractive, healthy, and physically capable. I still struggle with my health a little on occasion, with keeping on weight and also with taking care of my heart in its piss-poor condition, but other than that? I feel upgraded. Mentally and physically. I was even able to muster the strength to heal myself psychologically, over the course of the past year or so. Never thought I could go back to the way I used to be... and that was true!! I only got better. I can hoist myself over walls, climb most desert trees, and lift s**t that is twice my weight. I'm still a dumbass on occasion too; I fumble around and drop s**t, let attention slip when driving, and lose important things constantly... but that's all okay. It's not an awful quirk. It's just irritating for the people that have to deal with my a** on a daily basis. Haha. I know that I'm not "edgy" and "mysterious" or even interesting at all to anyone anymore, but that's okay too! I don't really care to be. I'm pretty awesome without that, and I just have to keep reminding myself of that.
It is just astonishing, how much my love and my spirit family have done for me. I think we've all grown a lot in these past few months. Yeah, I miss having everyone together in one place, but it's not like they won't return. A lot of them are just out, pursuing the ideals set before them on the path. They'll be back. When everyone can finally gather together again, we'll all go out to Delphi to indulge in shamanic compounds, celestial spectacles, the energy of desert life, mountain climbing, fine tea, and LOADS of fruit!
I used to hate Las Vegas... but in this city, that has never and will never grant a shred of mercy to its inhabitants, I am wildly fortunate to have crossed paths with these people. Maybe the psychedelics helped out with the mental obstacles more than I give them credit for. Maybe my spirit family's influence and the influence of these compounds are on similar levels of importance. I don't know, for sure. All I am positive of is this: I am happy. I am at peace. I am renewed. Most of all, I am eager to see what's in store for us in these coming months.
