Drugs and Normality

I never did drugs in my youth because I was too afraid, but I always had this curiosity of how it would feel to be high. I imagined pure awesomeness and bliss.

Turns out I do need a lot of drugs, prescription ones, and the effect is not an incredible high, but just plain normality. I need to drug myself to feel like a regular person feels on their baseline. Ironic, I know. But you know what? it IS pure awesomeness and bliss.

I recently concluded that the only secret to happiness is to have been miserable, and to have a solution at hand. There's no high without previous lows. Without a reference, things aren't good or bad, they just are.
