this.

this story is identical to mine (except I have no children).

trickshot, I've walked several miles in your shoes, and then some. fourteen years later, I can tell you...take a break from psychedelics, and let life experiences bring you back down to earth. I figured I knew it all at your age too, psychedelics amplify that grandiosity. Now, I realize I know nothing, despite learning a lot more; and this will continue in the next 15 years, etc.

several years down the line, you'll have a wider perspective, and say to yourself.. "goddamn, benz was right."
