Today, a man started a deep conversation with me at the bus stop about life, death, and the miracles of things we take for granted every day. I was really enjoying it until he looked at his watch and said, "Oh shit, mushrooms make me lose track of time!" and ran off into the night. FML

Today, I tried hallucinogenic mushrooms for the first time with my friend. Little did I know, they last for around 6 hours, and I had class at 3, when I had to give a presentation in front of 30 people. FML

Today, while on my run, I saw a middle-aged man sleeping near a business condo. I approached him and asked if he was "ok." He grabbed my leg, held onto it with a death-grip, and moped about how horrible his life was - for ten minutes. At least the weather was nice. FML

Today, after being hella single through this pandemic, I was gently stopped by an attractive man on my way to the bus stop. He looked deep into my eyes, and I took my headphones out so I could hear him better. Then, he started moving nervously, took a breath… and offered me meth, before tweaking away. FML

Today, I was talking to this girl who I thought was really nice. We were having an amazing conversation, and as we stared deeply in one another's eyes, she asked me, "Has anyone ever seen you take a shit?" She then began telling me the story of when someone watched her. FML

Today, I after getting off the bus, I realized that the man I was talking to was distracting me so his "buddy" could steal my wallet. FML

Distracted

Today, I was having a deep conversation with a woman at a bus stop about philosophy. Little did I know, her boyfriend was rummaging through my purse while she kept my focus. I’m a PhD candidate in philosophy, and it was the best conversation I’d had it months. FML

Today, I met a cute guy for coffee. Everything was going fine, right up until he started telling me about his alien encounters and super psychic powers. FML

Today, a guy hit on me. It's such a rare occurrence that I didn't know how to react, so I panicked and said "Sorry, I have to go!" Then I remembered we were on a bus, and just turned around and awkwardly pretended he wasn't there. FML

Today, I got a call from my son’s teacher, saying that he raised his hand during a test to say he "couldn't focus, because the ‘metroids’ are harassing me.” Apparently, he forgot about the test and took a healthy dose of shrooms right before. FML

Today, a girl started talking to me at the bus stop. After it descended into an awkward silence, I jumped on my bus to avoid further conversation. She got on the same bus. And got off at the same stop. I swear the whole bus could feel the tension. FML

For some reason "ran off into the night" cracked me up. It just makes it seem that it was a mythic creature that you're not sure if you really saw or not

He was still a nice guy and provided you with stimulating conversation, who cares that he was on shrooms ?

why does it matter if the dude was on mushrooms. if you enjoyed the conversation who cares.

I see nothing wrong with this scenario. He was on mushrooms, and thusly very full of emotion. Just because he was sincere doesn't mean he was incoherent... You deserve it, because you deserve love

Why else have some of the greatest scientific minds of the modern generation used psychoactive drugs? Sometimes it freaks you out, but other times it opens doorways in our minds. Hell, Francis Crick, one of the men who discovered DNA, did acid. As well as Steve Jobs, for crying out loud! Jobs said experimenting with LSD was one of the most important events of his life. As well as Bill Gates, and the inventor of the Sensory Deprivation Tank, and many, many other big names, and most likely a great deal of small names too. I'm guessing the guy you talked to was just another smaller mind waiting for its break to make it big. A personal anecdote? Why sure! When I took mushrooms on the beach, I came up with one of my all time favorite fictional/original characters of mine. That was years ago, and they're still with me today as I write.
