I love clear, percussive, dynamic production with really punchy kicks and creative drumming. Wacky, groovy guitar riffs. Knowing how to use space

this is mostly based off what I've listened to the most, but here's a few others I really like

Loathe - I Let It In And It Took Everything
Boundaries - Death Is Little More
Soulkeeper - Holy Design
Stray From The Path - III
Silent Planet - When The End Began

she really has inspired me so much to return to a time as a kid when I wanted really badly to write a novel. She writes so much with so little words and I love it

and just in general feeling vaguely foggy at random points, being less present overall. Could also be that it exacerbates my ADHD or something, it's different for everyone for sure

Yeah definitely try to stay as aware & intentional as possible! i didn't really notice the effects on my overall focus & motivation for years until I noticed it was real hard for me to stay focused on things I used to love doing for very long, like playing long RPGs to relax, especially after work

I do want to make it clear this isn't coming from a place of "weed is bad," though-- I'd still probably partake every once in awhile, with intention, the same way I'm trying to do with alcohol. But like all medicines, it has side effects; ESPECIALLY when used daily. It stopped being worth it for me

I've gone extended periods of not smoking in the past, but it's only ever been a few months at a time, and never while I've had my meds. Plus, I have much better body awareness now, so I can actually observe the difference in how I feel. It's pretty neat. Withdrawal should go away fairly soon.

This all probably sounds very obvious to people who don't smoke lol. I think the part that blows me away most is the difference in how I feel during the day! Even when I was smoking, I had gotten it down to only smoking in the evening, and I only considered the immediate mental effects
