What is one canon event that changed your brain chemistry?

16 years old.
Invited to a house party.
It was a new friend (still my best friend 11 years later)
His sister invited her entire class.
They had a big backyard and a large pool


I thought that Project X was just a movie but that party put the movie to shame.


The stuff I watched these kids do socked my entire perception of what’s realistic in life


And since then I changed and stopped being a quiet and reserved kid who’s stuck in his ways

Nice! Would love to hear some of the things that went down 🤣 send me a dm if you dont wanna say publicly

[Zack-Bann]

Haha it alright I don’t mind sharing with the class

Mainly everyone jumped in the pool
Some girls didn’t even have swimsuits they used underpants only

Picture it with music and drinks and then there was a lot of girl on girl making out going on
Some even had boyfriends who were enjoying the show

There was a bunch of sex in the water as well
Discretely, but later I learned many condoms were found floating the next day

Bathrooms and bedrooms also turned into sex rooms of course

Many got wasted blacked out fought with each-other (but the party didn’t stop once)

And I later leaned there was a lot of coke and weed being done in secret as well.
Or at least not in the corner without making a fuss

My small town brain was definitely overloaded with the revelation that all this was a thing.

I also had a few friends that were invited by the brother like me so we were all in the same boat watching all this at awe.

One even lost his girlfriend when cheated on him in the water with a random guy with a six pack
He went on to black out and fall asleep on the grass

Hahahahahahha what year was this? It sounds like the mid 2000s

[Zack-Bann]

2015 actually. But those days felt closer to the 2000’s compared to today

[Antarr_999]

Yea true

1) My two cardiac arrests and subsequent, horrific resuscitations of early 2024, causing me no end of psychological distress.

2) My miraculous transformation of 4 months ago that allowed me to see that God's love is, and has been, all around me for my entire life.

Thank you, God!

I went through a horrifying medical scare at 19 that totally cleansed me from the fear of human beings. I might fear environment turbulence or environmental dangers like aggressive and unleashed dogs, but I have no fear of human beings after my traumatic medical scare at 19.

Had a near death experience with a car accident. It was raining, I was on the highway, lost control of car. I got incredibly lucky that nobody got hurt, if anything went different probably would’ve either died or got seriously injured. It made me appreciate life more tbh.

Glad you're okay

When my bestfriend (I’ve known since middle school) committed suicide.
