Sorry for the DP.

I remember when i first got high, like REALLY got high.

I also remember the first time I hallucinated.


Both of them struck me so hard that I'm still reeling to this day. They showed me that reality isn't definitive, life is entirely based on perception, and the thing about perceiving is that its not the thing itself (very hard concept to grasp here people so i'll do my best to explain it) but is an alteration or representation of the thing.

Like when we look at a tree we are receiving unique data that is stored or interpreted to mean tree, and our memory of that tree is not the tree itself but a kind of coded representation of that tree, someone else could have looked at that same tree and seen an entirely different tree, perhaps because they were looking from a different angle.
