There are so many miserable people in the world and it truly sucks they lash out in all these infuriating and utterly exhausting ways. I really hate that you have to deal with that, but I feel better now that you told me to microdose my kids with PCP, do ‘shrooms and get naked in a field while staring directly at the sun because femmes can’t be lesbians. Makes perfect sense. Maybe we should make “Lauren Hough told me to do it” t-shirts.

In all seriousness, for as many people out there who twist your words and attack you, I have to think there are at least ten times as many who appreciate your words and adore you. Hope you got some rest 🤍

This was a fantastic and very funny read about a very infuriating situation. You made me start my very long day on a high (LITERALLY, BECAUSE LAUREN HOUGH FORCED ME TO DO DRUGS) note.

I love mushrooms and love telling people how much I love mushrooms, especially when I’m on mushrooms—micro, macro, hero, I’ll let you know. I love this piece, thank you for making me smile.

I'm glad you can still laugh and write funny shit. And I finally deleted Reddit... Its useful when you want to know if you just felt an earthquake, but it just encourages unhealthy obsessions with every subject you can possibly think of.

One acid trip I took had me thinking I was floating just below the ceiling while I was actually just flat on my back in a normal bed.

Another time I knocked a glass off the windowsill in my barracks room and for some reason was convinced it had caused me to die. 🤣 "Am I dead? I'm pretty sure I'm dead. You're sure I'm not dead? " Probably not a good idea to have been tripping alone. Oops.

Writing about one's life is difficult enough in a vacuum, let alone in a semi-intentionally twisted version of under a microscope. Godspeed.

Slightly off the trail here but I've been rereading all the first sentences of each paragraph and I feel like I felt the first time I saw stars and planets in the night sky from a dark place in northern Montana. Also, Woody pic is kinda perfect.

I actually wonder how many of your acquaintances got green coffee by mistake. I find the entire thing quite entertaining. My drug of choice is X. Too bad we can’t get it anymore because of fentanyl. Everything I just said is a lie.

I hate mushrooms but will do acid. Actually around a year ago, I was miceodosing shrooms, but I don't think it worked for me. My husband reckons my tolerance is high. I don't know. There was a complete solar eclipse in Australia on the day of my Holy Communion in 1977 or something.

Where do I get the shrooms and find a wonderful beautiful and micro dosing woman such as yourself who would sacrifice my attention for my kids? (Hope you still feeling the shrooms for this q) 🫶🏼 But did u figure it out? 😭💗
