One time I ate probably way too many mushrooms and I could feel my trip going bad. So, I turned to my roommate and I said something along the lines of,

"I feel amazing but I feel like this sensation has a price and I'm about to pay it."

To which he responded, "What are you, catholic?" And that knocked me so firmly out of my mental state that the rest of the trip was hands down the best time I ever did mushrooms.

Yeah that's fair, those tags should part of the main post

one of the reasons why "what if people went on a road trip and it was weird" is one of the oldest story types is that a lot of sense of personhood has been, historically, tied to place. the weird road trip says "what if we went somewhere else, where no one knows us, and tried out being a different person".

Odysseus, the famous liar, goes on a weird road trip & over the course of it becomes several different people, and then comes home & is all those people as well as himself, wearing the echoes of those other people

[elucubrare]

also i had two quotes pop up in my head while writing this - du bellay's "heureux qui, comme Ulysse, a fait un beau voyage.../et puis est retourné, plein d'usage et de raison, vivre entre ses parents le reste de son âge" (happy he who, like Ulysses, has traveled much/ and then returns, filled with customs and [ways of thought], to live out his days among his family)

and Horace's "'Caelum non animum mutant qui trans mare currunt.(They change their sky, not their soul, who rush across the sea.)' -

there's a bunch more I could add on either side (Cavafy's "The City," for example) but the dialogue between travel as a complete transformation vs. personality as an unchangeable core is long indeed.

@springbeckons: #see also: invisible cities#and the conversations it spurs about the meaning of home as seen and altered through travel. reinvented even

really good tags here.

Also adding Updike's "Back From Vacation" for another entry point into the conversation.

I made a baby blanket for a pregnant woman at work and I went back and forth about it like “is this weird? To like hand make something for someone when we’re like friendly acquaintances not like bffs. God why are you so fucking awkward.” Anyway I gave it to her and she said she loved it and in the back of my head I’m like yea she’s nice and probably just humoring the weirdo. Well she texted me a picture this weekend of a scrunchy faced newborn at the hospital wrapped in the blanket I made her. And I’m like. Wow. She loved it so much she took it with her! To the hospital! To give birth! She wrapped her newborn it! I am just so filled with love and joy right now.

People will love the things you make them. Because you thought of them and you cared.
