Hi Everyone,
I'm sorry, I only just realised this part of the forum was here. I'd have posted here before if I'd known.
Once upon a time, I was an absolutely ravenous acid head. Probably for over a decade, but when my son was born, I decided it was time to put that identity aside, and focus on being his dad. Anyway, it wasn't as if I hadn't already learned a ton from acid (and mushrooms).
I'm afraid to say that we lost him quite suddenly. I won't go into detail. It just wouldn't be fair.
For a while, it seemed like I only had one option left, one that I won't name.
And then, one crazy night, suddenly another option occurred to me.
I visited Mama for the first time just over a month ago. She was incredibly kind and gentle with me, and most importantly, She showed me that he's safe, which means so are we all.
She showed me so much more than that, enough that I finally feel like I'm allowed to live again, but I don't want to make this essay too long.
And just like that, I have a new hobby. One that involves lye and naphtha.
I'm sorry that mine's a rather heavy story, but She showed me real hope.
The point is that I'm healing now, and I just want to explore this rabbit hole as far as it'll take me.
And what I find really interesting, is that even despite my extended absence from these realms, it just feels like coming home. It's me that's changed. I appear to be an 'adult' now, and the experience that comes with that only seems to have enhanced the whole thing for me.
My name's Luke, but my friends call me Luke, so please, call me Luke.
Very pleased to meet you all, and I hope I can become a useful member of the community, at least once I've caught up on my education a bit.
