It’s incredible when one realizes the patterns that one has been doing for years. It’s so hard to realize it and then change it. I’m in that process now of changing all my patterns. It’s so not easy but well worth all the discomfort and work! You have helped me with this. Thank you. 🙏❤️
Hey Atoosa, I read of lot of your emails with interest and can generally say that I really understand what you are doing with the blog and I'm rooting for you. :-). The ONE thing I'm gonna have to disagree with you on, however, is your depiction of someone who uses weed being immune to feelings and numb to the world. Actually, I think for most people who use marijuana, it allows them to feel the world more clearly and authentically, without succumbing to some of the unnecessary, anxiety-inducing noise or the use of SSRIs....your words sounded a little judgmental, but also from the perspective of someone who doesn't know about it. And I think that one of the things that you are trying to achieve with your blog is to let go of judgment, primarily of yourself, which I totally get, so this felt dissonant. No judgments here - just saying! :-)
First of all thanks for commenting! Especially since you’re not usually a commenter. Re weed, it’s not that I don’t have experience. I’ve been in relationship with guys who choose to smoke (every day). I don’t think it’s as binary as totally numbing out but from my experience it really does create a different way of going through life than the way I choose to do it. But remember, I also don’t drink alcohol or coffee. I’m not saying I’m better, I just have a certain way of going through life and it’s not compatible with being in a serious relationship with someone who needs weed to cut through the noise. I have friends who smoke and I’m totally fine with that. It’s the partner relationship that for me feels incompatible. And btw the guy I wrote about had horrible trouble sleeping and was using weed to help him sleep. You know what helped him sleep? Quitting weed. Just saying. 🙃
Btw I’m pretty judgy you’re right about that. It’s so interesting. For most of my life I have been highly rewarded for being super judgy (being an editor is just judge judge judge all day long). I’m trying to find the like between judgement and discernment. Still figuring it out. 😅❤️

Love journeying with you sis. ❤️

And btw, it's really unlike me to comment on stuff like this, but I kind of feel like I've gotten to know you a bit, lol. xx
