Thank you :)
@Alixey 's art really activates my deep fluffy neurons. :P But I'm wondering why they always attach a hyper detailed text description to their art uploads. Search optimization? It looks kinda awkward/redundant tbh.
I think the artist just likes describing the images and the characters in it is all :)
There are parts I read here that felt so relative, duality is so real. I smoked almost everyday for 20 years, weed is such a massive impediment for me. On one hand it makes me feel good and on the other is another day wasted staring at a tv or hiding from responsibilities. It's definitely a bad influence on the person closest to me too. I've gone cold turkey this week and my dreams got so coherent... I forgot what dreaming was like. I think it's important to enjoy life and imbibe in the experiences that being alive has to offer from time to time but at a certain point it's escapism. Good on you for identifying that duality and doing something about it. There are worse things to have a dependency over but you're exerting control over a substance and that's commendable. Your my inspiration today.
Was the fraud self induced or a scam? Reddit has financial advice communities that can at the very least suggest effective avenues to help mitigate and resolve issues. Worth researching, sometimes that kind of advice can save you a ton of money and stress.
Suicide is a crazy experience, I lost a mom. Not long after that I lost a cousin. I'm happy you have things keeping you grounded, it's not an easy thing to talk about because people will accuse you of attention seeking and like... yeah. That's the whole point. I wish I noticed the signs in my mom so I could have given her every ounce of attention she deserved. You are not alone, but going out like that leaves a lot of sadness in the lives of others. I'm grateful my mom left me with one last lesson: to not repeat that cycle on anyone else. From my perspective, thank you for being brave and talking about it. People are like plants, without attention and the right nurturing they die on their own.
Thank you for sharing all of that. Hopefully I'll notice you around more and have the time to leave a comment or two. We are all screaming through this life so quickly, such small gestures can hold so much impact. Thank you Broster and good luck! Hope you get a job you like :3
Hello! I just want to say first of all: Thank you so much for reading that whole thing and leaving such a thoughtful comment :) I deeply appreciate this.
I totally relate with weed being a massive impediment. I've grown so dependent on it physically and emotionally. It sucks. Like yeah I might get a nice high, but at what cost? I've turned into a lazy asshole I feel like. And again, good god I don't want this to affect my job prospects. I just want to be a part of society, is that really so much to ask? I've given serious thought recently to getting a medical marijuana card if I can't sort myself out personally. At least that way some asshole employer can't just disregard me because I am dependent on a substance.
And yeah my god are there worse things to have a dependency on! I am quite thankful for this, and you pointing that out has reminded me of the fact. But yeah I'm currently very weak on the inside and weed has masqueraded as some superhero that will make me stronger on the inside. But I've realized that all the strength was in me all along. Because I realize that I want to moderate my consumption and take some damn control over my life. So maybe in a way, weed did help me realize that I am stronger than I thought? I don't wanna give the drug too much credit though, haha.
The fraud was just a complete scam. I have no idea where it's coming from or why. I really don't want my money being stolen once I actually would get a job. So seriously thanks for suggesting this I will absolutely share this on reddit and try to get some answers. Since apparently I am too much of a wuss to want to encounter the chance of being mildly disapproved of for a little while by my mother.
Yes it is. Suicide is really insane. I haven't personally lost anybody to suicide, but I've come close to losing my sister to it a couple times. And myself.
And yes you have such a great point there and I agree completely. Like, sometimes people literally need the attention they are seeking! Attention-seeking behavior is sometimes needed for people to survive. Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone in this too. It means a lot to hear all this from someone who is a good bit older than me. I appreciate that you are sharing your knowledge, wisdom, and experiences with me.
Thank you for calling me brave for talking about it too! I don't really feel brave for it, but maybe I am. Maybe I just don't realize what I have inside of myself.
"People are like plants, without attention and the right nurturing they die on their own." This will stick with me. This is incredibly true. I needed to be reminded that it is ok to struggle and that it is ok to ask for help. Thank you.
So, to conclude this, thank you so so much for your thoughtful comment on my post, it means a lot. I hope I see you 'round too, you seem like quite a thoughtful, kind, and relatable person! Good luck to you too. Proud of you for going cold-turkey with weed too! :)) You have a super nice day!! You absolutely made mine with this comment!
Big support for these artists and their creations, I love when the Newgrounds community supports each other, lots of love and support!
It is not easy to quit marijuana, but in terms of abstinence
You can do it!
Hey I appreciate the support! And yeah I love supporting other artisis
@Czyszy @TheBestBroster I really appreciate the shout out and for including me in your highlights. The very accurate and detailed descriptions are nothing more than the alt text feature found in other socials to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. It's something I care a lot about so I try to be as accurate as possible.
You are very welcome :))
And that is very nice of you to do that for people who are vision impaired
i wish you so well :,)
Thank you so much :)) Good to hear from you!
A very damn late response (as always), but i believe in you dude! As long as you got the willpower to keep trying even after failing, that's what matters. I admire the steps you're taking to get the job you want with the resources around you. As always, i'm wishing the best for ya!
I agree with Quarl's plant analogy too. Some plants need some more help and nurturing than others but that's ok. It's all part of being human and learning about things; you make mistakes, you feel stupid, then ask for the help you need. People like us are like flowers that have trouble blooming because we're growing out of the cracks of sidewalks; we just need to be moved to a pot to grow better. (idk where i was going with this lmao, but really a change of environment and a good support system goes a long way)
i wish your mom didn't look down on you though for asking for help, especially for something serious like a bank account fraud. i hope you got that situated. it should be okay to ask stupid questions, because its better than not doing anything at all out of fear of messing up, or doing it wrong because of being too embarrassed to ask. I hope you do have people in your life that can nurture you and not make you feel stupid for asking for help.
good luck on trying to quit weed too, that shit isn't easy. maybe you don't have to quit cold turkey and you can just limit yourself to doing it less, and if there's a whole day you went without giving into it then you can treat yourself to something nice, like a snack. again, i have faith in you!
i do appreciate your existence on this site and how a lot of people can come together to support each other and give each other uplifting comments. I'm grateful for this side of newgrounds and for you for being so open and honest about your healing journey; both the good stuff and the ugly stuff. also thanks for the shout-out too, i really appreciate it. :) good luck with everything man! i'm supporting you all the way.
I deeply appreciate your comments. Thank you for believing in me <3
I do think that, regarding my mom, she wouldnt actually make fun of me or anything.. I'm just.. paranoid to be honest. Though I did make a reddit post about it that I have to look at. So its not like I'm doing nothing about the situation myself.
Thanks for being supportive of me moderating/quitting weed too. It means a lot.
Thank you for understanding me :) You are a cool friend.
Weed is a depressant and it stunts ambition. In addition, if you're becoming adept at handling higher and higher concentrations of THC, the crash after the high exacerbates all of the negative aspects of your mental health.
I discovered this after achieving sobriety from alcohol, which was also sobriety from weed. Four years of raw-dogging life with nothing but caffeine. Smoked a bowl with my brother who is a wake-and-baker and it was a fun evening, but that crash was a depressing three days of haze.
It's difficult to detect it when you're around it all the time. But I promise it's taking as much as it's giving.
If you focus on your weaknesses all you'll see are problems, but if you focus on your strengths, you'll see nothing but solutions.
Like all addictions, you needn't dry-turkey yourself. Start small as you ween off of it just to see what it's like. If for no other reason than "you've tried it one way, experiment by trying it a different way. One that relies less on intoxicants and consumables."
It might seem like a lot at first, but it's do-able, and worth it for your overall mental health.
Thank you for the support. I really appreciate it.
Luckily I have a job coming up in the future here so that is motivating me to not smoke any more
