Recontextualization Mega-Thread

Aw man. I've got this thing that keeps happening to me (I keep re-contextualising myself in outrageous and monumental ways) where I *always* get misinterpreted the first time I enter a new social space. Maybe peeps think I'm arrogant or proud. Then after I continue just being normal (usually being very very actual and inquisitive about spirituality in the meditation sessions for example and sometimes quite intense lol) and over time they realise that I'm just extremely extremely genuine lol. It's been a blessing and a curse, a weakness and a tool. I mean it's been a major asset. Somehow this repetitive re-contextualising thing is used massively to my advantage. Like situations just unfold with impossible coincidences and just impossible outcomes...I mean sober in the normal, egoic social life. I like re-contextualising

you will experience at least some of the effects I listed earlier at all times to some degree (cognitive narrowing, impaired learning, elevated cortisol and lowered stress tolerance, health damage and carcinogenic effects of smoking, numbing of emotions, disorganization of thought and behavior).

I like the ghost photo for being existentially beautiful and this one for being funny the most.

If you put this on an ice cream package kids would freak out (in a positive way).

As you get older, the past gets recontextualized. It's wild for me to think that 20 years ago (2005), it was the beginning of grade school for me, and 20 years before that, it was 1985. Metallica had only released two albums back then.
