Eventually, we had a huge fight as she felt I was leaving her just go traveling. On hindsight, she was right but at that time I was very angry that she chose to pull this off on my birthday and pretty much ruined the whole day. At night, I decided to head into town to buy some magic mushrooms from one of the restaurants with a "happy" menu. They were dried and I ate a bunch but they flopped and didn't work, I also ate some happy pizza as well and also thought they didn't work. In the middle of the night, they hit me hard and I straight up panicked just because I was getting too high. After I calmed down, getting some outside air. I went back to sleep still very buzzed.Read more
