i can't help the feeling that something has changed globally.
We grew up with the knowledge that smoking, drinking, getting out, was the coolest thing you could do with your short-living thing we're used to call "Life". It was rather intellectual even.
Now that trend is in it's reverse mode.
That's good, i guess. for the body. I don't know if it's good for the soul.

(Dec 12 06, 11:28)good point.
i've had it with the bohemian attitude/way of life.
i hardly drink anymore. smoke less. don't touch any sort of drugs anymore and yet my life has become very statisfying. it feels so good that i finally dare to choose for myself, like snuggles said: decide for yourself. except for the fact that i move into an opposite direction.
the things i learned from my therapist felt dogmatic and alienating at first but now became a natural part of my life.
to go outside, walk, breathe fresh air (mind you, i live FAR from any big city, fortunately!), think, dream, reflect and take photographs is one of my key ingredients of feeling well and fulfilled.
ok it is less cool, but i am seriously past that bit of trying to adapt my life to other people's preferences or expectations. because it adds.......totally nothing.
it's all about respecting each other. we all experience different stages of life in different times, changing should be a natural thing, not forced.
it's all about feeling well and appreciating the short but honest contacts/meetings with other people.
for me this is a cultivated happiness. sort of like a small garden that needs a bit of cultivation and also a bit of natural chaos, fate, the unexpected etc.
most important thing for everyone to know is that the state of your body influences the state of your mind and vice versa.
