I've gotten so many responses to this thread, and I finally found some time to respond to a few more.
I've liked a bunch of other posts, I'm reading them all, keep them coming!!!
Yes, this is a sound point I hadn't even thought about much. In our modern life, we're being targeted by some of the best psychologists and sales people in an effort to induce impulsive behavior. I have some verbose and rambling thoughts on ad industry and how they induce an emotional deficit, and then try to fill it it consumption (both dietary and otherwise) but I'll spare us all the suffering of reading through that.
Yes, so many futile moment either passing judgement on ourselves or feeling the judgement of others, said and unsaid, and it feels like this drug has surgically removed the cause of it. There is almost this void where the cause of all this shame was, and now it is gone, but the layers of shame remain, and I'm fighting the (positive) hollow feeling.
I don't know if I've ever done that voluntarily in my life. My parents drilled into me that you have to finish your plate, and it has stayed with me.
Thank you. I was raised with two languages, but I did learn English slightly later, so let's say that it is not native. English has been my primary language for nearly 20 years. I did write it in English as translating it would have been even more difficult.
I do possess a character flaw of having some pretensions of being a fiction writer, so I suppose the effort I've put into developing my prose has not been entirely wasted.
This is why we're, I think, ultimate put on this Earth. To make connections. If what I wrote connected with you, I am so very glad.
Well, strap in, because if you've never done GLP1s, I think you're gonna have this exact same moment I had in the OP. Come back to this thread once you've pinned, and tell us how it feels. I'd love to read it.
