Withdrawal Symptoms?

Post by MITDownloads » Mon Sep 12, 2022 6:51 am

I wonder if you have experienced a sense of separation, even a little sadness after returning to the default world. As a first-timer, I indulged as fully as I could in day and night activities. The many short-lived connections and friendships nourished my soul and renewed my love for others. I feel a desire to connect again. What wisdom can you share based on your experience?

As most of us who have turned into total burners (I'm talking to you Gamin), this among many things, changes you. This may be more sudden, more radical and may or may not even be immediately recognizable by others. Each time you go back, you will feel more like the new you when you get back to the default world for longer. The point is, not to let it wear away. Try as hard as you can, any way you can, to reengage to Home.
The truth is more important than the facts.
