This stage in the life of the buzz is truly fabulous. Itโs not even a buzz anymore. Itโs a roar. The world opens up and everythingโs yours right here, right now. Youโve probably heard the expressionโAll good things must come to an end. Well, this stage in the life of the buzz never heard anything close to that. This stage says, 'I will never end. I am indestructible. I will last fabulously forever.' And, of course, you believe it. To hell with tomorrow. To hell with all problems and barriers. Nothing matters but the Spectacular Now.
Tim TharpHave you ever started to wave at someone and then realized they werenโt really waving at you, so you abort and go for a head scratch instead? Thatโs how I felt.
Tim TharpThat's how our system works. It's a giant con game. One thing gets old, then you have to buy the next thing that gets old, then the next thing. Our whole society's a training ground for addicts.
