I smoke Cannabis, and meditate for 3-4 hours before bed each night at the moment. For some reason I can't get into meditation without smoking weed beforehand; it induces a stoic(sic?) state of mind in me. Last night I was meditating, and realized I have been giving my personal agency over my emotions to people I don't really admire when contemplating our relationship. With that came the realization that any anger, sadness, guilt, depression, pain I feel over any human connection is only sticking around because I give permission to invest my time in a conflict. If I revoke any point of view, right or wrong, I can focus my energy on more spiritual/admirable missions in life...Unfortunately I have to meditate constantly to maintain such a state of contemplation at least right now.

I'm finding some new hope that I might be able to embrace the negative emotions, and trauma I have to deal with. It might take becoming a monk and giving up my dream of fitting into a neat box that society has laid out for us to put ourselves in, but it could prove tolerable.

Reading about and practicing stoicism is the closest I've gotten to not caring. I've had a long life of taking things too serious and caring too much. It's definitely helping.
