Ok, so we have farm girl Dorothy Gale and then we have "proper" British girl Alice Liddell. One rolled around in a field of poppies. One indulged in Amanita muscaria. They both proceeded on journeys of self-discovery.

The following summary was entirely worded up by AI:

Dorothy’s discovery: What you need is already within you

Dorothy travels to Oz believing happiness lies somewhere else—“over the rainbow.” By the end, she learns:

Home isn’t just a place; it’s belonging, love, and self-acceptance.

Power was largely an illusion.

Deeper meaning:
Dorothy discovers that external authorities and magical solutions are often false. Growth comes from recognizing the value and strength you already possess. Oz is a lesson in self-reliance and emotional maturity.

Alice’s discovery: The instability of identity and logic

Alice’s journey is less about arriving somewhere and more about questioning everything:

Language doesn’t mean what she expects.

Rules change constantly.

Adults and authority figures are irrational or arbitrary.

Her own size and identity are unstable (“Who in the world am I?”).

Deeper meaning:
Alice discovers that the world—especially the adult world—is often nonsensical, and that logic, identity, and social rules are constructed rather than fixed. Her growth comes from learning to navigate ambiguity without losing herself.

The key difference

Dorothy learns a comforting truth: the world makes sense if you trust yourself.

Alice learns a challenging truth: the world doesn’t make sense, and that’s something you must learn to live with.

Shared revelation

Both stories suggest that childhood journeys into fantasy are really psychological awakenings:

You cannot rely blindly on authority.

Meaning is not handed to you.

Growing up involves learning how to interpret reality on your own terms.

In short:
Dorothy discovers inner wholeness.
Alice discovers existential uncertainty.

Which finally brings me to my question of the day, Who had the biggest trip?

(Cue old woman voice), back in the day, people used to just go to concerts for full vibes. They would enjoy the artist(s), and just let the music move them. Now, a vast majority go to concerts, phone in hand, blocking others views, and try to get it all on tape for youtube, insta, or social media, rather than are they fully taking in the experience.

This has happened for the third time
The first time was someone I worked with he was obsessed with me we had sex for around two weeks then he just went weird. The time we had sex first he lasted 3 seconds then the next time was about 5 mins and much better.

Then I had a date from someone who messaged me who is never met on social media and we had sex. He lasted about 3 seconds and I accidentally laughed at him. He did try to come over again but I was alseep by the time he got to my house. Then he tried again but I was fed up with him taking ages to reply.

Then the third was someone messaging me again and he lasted a lot longer about 5 mins first time maybe less. Then we had sex multiple times that night but again he’s ghosted me

Why does this keep happening? They all say I’m super pretty and the sex is amazing but then it ends like this. I do have 3 kids and don’t want a relationship and have said I’m not closed to it but not seeking it.

Am I that bad looking and the sex that bad?
