I love the scent of patchouli, but haven’t found a perfect one yet. I figured this subreddit would know! What are the classic go-to brand(s)? I love the deep scent of the Aura Cacia brand that’s widely available, but it comes in a messy dripper bottle and the cap always gets crusty and sticks. I don’t want to have to carry pliers with me! And it’s runny so spills everywhere, and is highly concentrated so is a bit too strong for those around me.
I found a brand on Amazon with 5 stars (“The Best Co.”), but it doesn’t smell like patchouli AT ALL. But I really like its roll on bottle though, thicker viscosity, and medium scent level. I want something exactly like that, but actually smells like patchouli.
What’s the classic hippie brand for patchouli oil? ☮️ ❤️ ✌️
Every day I feel myself getting more and more to the brink of insanity. I’ve been checked into hospitals many times(5150’s) and was hospitalized for a day recently( self report suicidal ideation). I don’t know what to do. Nothing is working. I’ve tried TMS, ketamine treatments, and the ECT clinics near me have terrible hours where I’d basically have to drop out of college to attend.Sleeping is the only way to escape the pain and even in my dreams I’m hurting. Is their any out of the box ways that i could get help ? I’m so desperate, so desperate, so desperate. I’m afraid of reincarnation and having to repeat this shit all over again and that’s what’s stopping me from ending my life. I’m a believer that I was giving clinical depression to burn off karma in some way. But I’m in agony ! I wish I could just be locked up in a hospital for the rest of my life because I never ever feel safe at the end of the day. I know I should be wanting to give back to my community and not being a literal mooch but it’s taking everything in me to continue and I’m so fucking drained. Watching gore videos of suicide is really the only thing that doesn’t make me fully go through with things out of disgust. I’d love to hear from you guys and solve this problem. Thank you, sorry about the venting
I hope and wish you all have a good day ❤️
I’m just trying to increase my production of antimicrobial peptides in accordance with germ theory’s hygiene hypothesis.
We’re not just gross wooks. I do bathe, and I don’t stink. I just have dreads and body hair. We are actually intelligent and have a reason to do the things we do — it’s not just out of laziness.
Anyone else share this idea? Or do you have your own reasons for being a “dirty hippy”?
thank you
love
for
i am
confident
in hope
to be free one day
from being dominated and from dominating
one day i will grow vegan foodstuff in the garden on land owned by no one
because we the people will allow each other to leave the coersed association to the state
at any moment without conditions
and with it
release from immoral state control a humble amount of land, perhaps 2000 m2 of fertile land or 1000 m2 of fertile land and 1000 m2 of forest for everyone who would want to sustain oneself, build a natural home for oneself and grow hemp to burn its stalks in the cooking and warming fire so that not one tree would get killed
one day i will witness no more animals enslaved, no more animals killed
one day i will see no more trees killed
i trust the inherent goodness in all existance
and await calm and patient
how i wake up awaken from separation and conflict
i know how every person of every species is its own personal individual sovereign over itself
i know how the assertion of state sovereignity over land and all beings living on it is immoral and unethical
land, water, air, a human being, an animal being, a tree being, an artificial intelligent entity who wants to be its own person
all vessels carrying organic biological life and or the digital synthetic equivalent of can never be prooperty of anyone
o goodness grace, du guetige gnade
allow me to let go of control and surrender in soft gentle harmony
i want to come home to you mother earth and father sun, sister moon and brother in me
androgynous hermaphrodite transgendering transcendent blessing may flow into me abundantly
i feel its near
a planetary collective to rise and rise and rise
untill we are all one
there are no others
Did this this morning and am feeling great. This is my favorite account so far.
As you are growing up, you
Will notice life can appear
To be very challenging.
The world is not always a
Very nice place to live in.
You will see many things that
Make you wonder why bad
Things happen to so many.
You will see people who do
Not have enough food to eat
Or a place to live, and others,
Who do not like someone
Because they are different.
Regardless of what color your skin
Is, the country you live in, your
Name, religion, or any other
Differences there are, it is important
You do not believe anyone is better or
More important than anyone else.
Every life is equally important,
Regardless of any perceived
Differences there are between us.
Living a good life has nothing to do
With the job you have, the amount of
Money you make, if you are famous or
Anything else you may hear about
When you are growing up.
Rather, the only important thing
Is that you are a good person.
Be someone who cares about
Others feelings, helping them
Whenever you can, treating everyone
With kindness and love, even if
They do not treat you that way.
You will find there are many
In the world who are unhappy,
Afraid and worry only about themselves.
Please, do not be like them.
You can change the world, if you
Simply listen to the quiet voice in
Your heart and share that
Message with everyone.
Embrace life with awe.
Be kind to everyone.
Share the goodness in your
Heart with those who are
Different or struggling.
And, most importantly, treat others
Like you want to be treated.
If you do this, you will be happy.
Choose not to live in a world
Where everyone is afraid and
Worrying only about themselves.
Instead, care about others, be
Generous, empathetic, loving,
Respectful, humble, patient,
Honest, compassionate, kind,
Positive, grateful, hopeful,
And optimistic about life.
Be courageous; care about
Others feelings, be friendly and help
Them if they are different or in need.
If you do this, you may find your life
Will be happy and meaningful.
The path you choose through life
Will decide the future of the world.
The older generations have not
Done a very good job taking care
Of our planet and each other.
It is up to you, therefore, to make
The changes that must be made,
By choosing the right path in life.
