Thank you, it feels great to be welcomed.
I honestly feel that signing up to and becoming a part of this web forum community was the next required step in my path. I don't know where the path will lead me, but what I do know is that what I will learn here in the coming days will direct me to the next stage. I have words of insight to give as well, ive written poems and have recorded some into songs and dont really aspire to be an entertainment artist as much as i feel like i have a gift to accurately communicate thought processes and experiences as well as notions with those around me. My life growing up I was certainly not as socially proficient as most others, and so spent alot of time with books. Here I am now age 22, one attempted year of university under my belt with only a criminal record and 10 000$ debt to show for it. Smoked my first joint at age 16 and about a year later i was upgraded to an everyday user. being submerged in the culture that went alongside with toking i soon came across more extensive and "intensive" psycho-actives which "opened my eyes" to a new world, or rather allowed me to perceive the same world in a different light. turned the prism in my minds eye so to speak. ive sat in cells over night 6 times in my life, I understand the feeling of brooding in a cell. I don't claim any merit by this feat by any means, all Im saying is that FOR ME I've been put in a position of-submitting by the establishment and that feeling drives me to never experience it again. or even yet, if i can, to help divert any whos paths may be taking them towards that same destiny, it is a pain i wish upon no one. that being said, I believe ive learned what makes me happy, and that is common understanding and harmonious living with those i share a personal space with. i trust the larger audience will allow for informed discussion, as when im in my circle of friends i feel like too much of a preacher sometimes. or that, i take topics too seriously. i get trolled pretty hard but i realize its a two way street but that being said i dont ever troll. embaressment is an unpleasent emotion and i wish it upon no one.
one last thing i have one tattoo and it is the words All Is One going from my middle finger to pinky finger
when i hold my index finger on my thumb it makes the A-OK or "Perfect" gesture. I then meditate. and realize the resonance between AUM and ALL IS ONE
cheers and namaste
