Tulp(a).. What?

[Fiction]

But, as I also mentioned, I'm still cool with tulpamancy. Though I don't think you should competely live in your own mind, away from the world.

I am also cool with smokers, but I don’t think they should be smoking; nicotine and/or cannabis, but it’s their life to live as they please. This comparison can apply to other things, but as long as they don’t bother me, then we won’t have any issues in the end of the day.

Should probably clarify I'm not trying to condemn tulpamancing. You should always have contact w/ the outside world, even if just through work, school, the internet, etc.

Edit: Don't feel like linking right now, but also it's a lot to sum up, but I'll try my best. Basically went through depressive episodes, some pot-fueled. And I also became dependent on pot, too, pretty much. Not sure if I had depression and it just hadn't manifested before, or if I had it, but didn't notice it, or what. I've also become a lot more self aware as a result, so going through this shit, no matter how hard, wasn't all that bad.
Another edit: forgot to mention why I stopped having Pinkie and Clover being as involved as they were before. (I still talk to them sometimes. I think I'll do that occasionally when I need advice and a second opinion on shit) I never realized until I became depressed how lonely I am. Barely any friends, no girlfriend. And while I don't look down on you guys, I'm not sure it's right for me.
