Shew.. DXM man.. I wouldnt even mess with that shit. I mean, your more than welcome to do what you want with your body, but I promise.. It'll fuck you up for the long term if not careful.. I speak from personal experience and have a close friend who still regrets doing it. Just throwing ya a heads up, I'd wait out for that bag and do something to occupy my mind in the mean time.
Your right though.. No matter what my situation is in life nowadays, I constantly remind myself that it could always be worse. And I've needed that mentality here lately.. Had some bad experiences where I could have easily faulted other people, but.. in retrospect, where would that have got me? And since I didnt freak out or go ballistic, things actually rebounded and worked out accordingly.. So, keep with that mentality.. Shit is definitely going to happen.. always does. You just have to keep that constant reminder in the back of your head, that when something does go wrong "well it has been a while, I'll deal with this shit accordingly and not let it impact or ruin other things not related to it".
By the way man, hows that new job going? Liking it pretty good or is it one of those "eh it's a job and paycheck" type scenarios? Made anymore new friends at the workplace?
