With your life, or artificially happy, knowing it’s temporary?

To be clear, this post is semi-autobiographical. My life’s not bad, just kind of dull. Recreational cannabis use is legal. Am I wrong to enjoy it? Should I focus on improving my life instead of getting high?

Dissatisfaction is a good thing. It's the fuel that pushes you to do something. Maybe it's something big like switching careers or cutting ties with toxic relationships, but most often it's small things like picking up a new hobby, volunteering, or taking a vacation.

Don't dismiss dissatisfaction. Look into your life and see what you need to change.
