RE: Hello Steemit! My first post!
Hey rightside! Happy to have another talented mind among the community! Your pictures have me considering visit Missouri very soon; homesteading in that area must be a dream. I was born and raised in suburbs and it wasn't until I got down into the Blue Ridge Mountains in NC that I knew I needed nature back in my life, like when I was a child. I have becoming a hiking machine since then and while I temporarily moved back to a city for an awesome roommate, I have not slowed and plan on creating my little corner of wilderness as soon as I can.
I sure am glad I stumbled upon your comment on another post, I am catching you at the beginning of your steemit journey! I am as well, still parsing out a direction for my owns posts, as I have many different interests.
One in particular that I shared with you was the potential psychedelics have for our veterans as well as other folks dealing with past traumas or other mental pathologies. Humankind particularly neglects mental health, among physical too often, to chase the shiny stuff and compare to "the stars" and then wonder why life seems empty. Psychedelic experiences, while a very serious endeavor due to the structural changes in the brain, would no doubt help so many people when fear of serious consequences like loss of children, property, and freedom is no longer a barrier.
I am following so I can see your content when you share, looking forward to more!
Thank you and well met! My wife is actually from around that area, Franklin, NC. I also lived most of my life in the city, until it was time to exit the Marine Corps. After that experience, I knew I needed more. Missouri has been interesting, an accident that we ended up here, really. But it's amazing and beautiful. We have a really great community of like-minded folks, homesteaders and others with open minds. I am a firm believer in the use of psychedelics. And I agree with your take. Everything we humans have ever wanted is right in front of us. We just have to look, but with modern living, that isn't always encouraged, life moves too fast for enjoyment. Like the holidays. There's such a rush, then it happens, then it's forgotten, on to the next thing. I'm glad you found me. I am about to post an article about psychedelics and how they can be effective for treating PTSD, with some science-backed studies.
