How Does One Accept and Live with the Fact that They'll Go Nowhere in Life? (lemm.ee)

36, frustrated, angry, bored, uninspired and stuck in a safe, boring, but tolerable dead end job. A job which I'll be stuck doing for the next 30 years till retirement cause this is as far as I can go in my life. Failed and burned out from multiple business ventures, and have completely given up hope in building a successful business empire or doing anything of note period. I've resigned myself to my fate. My question is how to accept & cope with the misery that is my mediocre and boring life? Drugs? Alcohol? Criminal activity?

Would you ask a mountain why does it stand by the ocean? Because one would not see a difference between you and the mountain.

But seriously speaking - if you never tried shrooms or LSD - go for it. Those two have the exact answer for the question you ask. (Just avoid other drugs, they have almost nothing to offer apart from molly, but that's just for the pure fun with beloved partner).

Lol, this is exactly what I've been thinking of doing.

Good luck! I have to mention that there is an important article you should read beforehand to understand all known mental caveats and to guarantee yourself a good time

Tldr: if you are healthy before trip, you don't have to worry about anything, amount of substance is not enough to cause you any harm, and it is all psychosomatic so you can really just brush it off, if you thoughts accidentally go in this direction. You are in a good company with all of us on this plane ;)

My pleasure. It is a must read if you go psychodelic route both alone or with someone to guarantee your safety. Responsible consumption = good time ;)
