To the reader,

I hope this message brings you some comfort and perspective.

Every living being—every single organism that has ever existed or will exist—is navigating life without a clear path or destination. There is no definitive right or wrong way to live; life is simply about surviving and finding meaning in our own ways.

Some individuals pursue power, wealth, and prestige, believing these things will bring fulfillment. However, in the vast expanse of the universe, such achievements are ultimately insignificant. When the universe meets its end, all our deeds and accomplishments will fade into oblivion.

So, please, try not to worry too much.

If you haven't yet, consider the impact of bringing new life into the world. Understand that any new life will face the same challenges, confusion, and suffering that we all do. Instead, if possible, focus on uplifting those who are already here—those who are struggling, unwanted, and unloved. Helping others leads to a better life for everyone.

If you find yourself unable to help right now, that's okay. Relax. Take a breath. Appreciate what you have, and live in the present. Take things moment by moment, step by step, and you'll find your way.

Warm regards,

A fellow traveller

Hi. With the new tax year fast approaching, I've been contemplating transferring my current stocks and shares ISA account with IBKR UK to another provider/brokerage. I am interested in InvestEngine since they seem to have lower fees. However, I'm wondering how this process will work, especially since I have shares in stocks and ETFs that don't seem to be offered by InvestEngine, but which I'd ideally like to keep. As such, is it possible to transfer ISA accounts to a new service provider if they don't offer the shares held in the account? If it is, how might I trade those shares in the future?

Is it normal to feel/become so much more egotistic/self-absorbed (maybe become more aware about how egotistical you already are?) on acid? Is it possible to minimise or outright prevent those tendencies, during trips (or even just in day to day life)? I love almost everything about acid experiences except those ones that make me confront how sad, lonely and terrible of a person I am lol.

I guess, in some ways, bad trips are also good in that they can be really quite sobering and prevent me from outright abusing the stuff.

Similarly, if it weren't for the fact that ayahuasca tastes so fucking terrible and causes me to puke my guts out literally every single time, I reckon I'd probably consume it on the reg as I love the way it makes me feel like I'm one with everything and makes me forget who I am as an individual (not to mention all the pretty images of course). But unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), it tastes like what I imagine Satan's bunghole probably tastes like.
