On the magical side, i saw several meaningful numbers (like 1234 on the clock or 4:20 in a game) so now I'm going to embrace the good feelings and eat pizza, play flight simulators, and smoke a bunch of weed.

You're becoming part of the social fabric by being there, and so in order to preserve that tapestry that others choose to be around, your presence should be encouraged. but this must also be paired with the increased ability to move, should you desire something else. If these two factors are kept in balance, it will empower people to stay where they belong (good) while also encouraging them to get out and explore the world (also good) - it'd also give them the ability to escape dangerous situations. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #14 fediverse/2280 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: uspol-spirituality-mentioned │ └──────────────────────────────────────┘ Today the tone seemed to have shifted, there was a lot more resolution as I rode by.
