just trynna figure things out
One of the hardest things about life is when it gets bigger.
I’ve been sober for a year, no alcohol or drugs, but I still vape and I still smoke.
Now I guess in terms of possibilities for vices, I can go back to the using or I could also quit smoking.
Is it just me or is okay to have at least a few vices here or there to balance things out?
I’m no saint, and I’m definitely not a Luke Skywalker, but I do aspire to find success and discover meaning and value, all which defines what I do on a daily basis.
That’s why I am here, really because I don’t know if I am doing the right thing.
And that feeling is something that I constantly struggle with.
It’s contrary to when I’m in psychosis and everything I do is with conviction and with delusion.
But now that I am sober, may I and can I still be deluded? Is it okay to be deluded? Is it even possible to live life completely without delusion?
I think part of it is being okay with being a little insecure.
I sit with my insecurities now instead of coping in unhealthy ways.
