When I got fat, people were assholes to me so much more often. They had no patience for me, it was crazy. I got back in shape and I’m worth courtesy and kindness again, apparently.
I’m afraid of aging in part because I’m scared to lose that basic human decency again.


I’ve used it to lessen my use of Adderall for narcolepsy and it’s been a lifesaver.
I mixed about 2 tsp into water in the afternoon when I’m dragging, rather than taking more prescription stimulant. I use it between 1-3 times a week for at least 5 years, with several month long breaks in this time.
I think the weird derivative chemicals from it are probably dangerous, but I personally haven’t experienced any problems with routine kratom use. I only use the powdered plant form I order from a reputable source, not the gas station drinks with synthetic versions.
