Life is what you make of it. We live in a weird world, in a weird time when nothing is set in stone. Brits voted for Brexit which will most likely fuck up their entire economy, the situation in USA is interesting too, to say the least. Yet all of that is meaningless, compared to the lives of most people in Africa or India. There's also global warming that might fuck up the entire planet.
Scary, yet entertaining times. I want to see what will happen in the future, I want to know who's responsible for this mess in Britain, why Trump won, so I'm reading many things about those countries, to make my own judgment.
Maybe everything will be just fine in the next 10 years and we will be laughing at all of those problems.

I don't want to encourage you to doing something that you might regret, but I've took LSD once and it made me feel at peace with my own life. I took a small dose, I haven't seen any weird things, but it made me very happy in that day. It let me appreciate minor things like touch or taste of food, made me focus on present rather that the future. I was focused on my life in the next years rather than taking pleasure from everything I have. Who knows, I might die tomorrow, get hit by the car. I had no "ego death", the experience didn't improve my life in magical way, but it was a little, yet important step towards joyful life.
