My wonderful experiences with mushrooms ;) 1

I hope you guys enjoy my story, I would love to hear your opinions. For people new to shrooms, I hope it helps you and gives you insight.
I am a young woman in my early twenties residing in Southern California. An old boyfriend introduced me to magic mushrooms when I was 19 (he even began bringing some to life for a short time, interesting to observe) and from that point on I have felt like a changed person.
Prior to taking them, I did my own personal research, and a lot of it. I am one of those people who will not just take anyones word for it; I need to know what is going in my body. Health risks as of today's scientific research are nonexistent, though there is still not that much information, and mental stability was only at risk if mental disorders already exist or there is a history of them in your family. I was content with the information I found. There are actually quite a lot of benefits from mushrooms, I have found and experienced.
Mushrooms affect me in a way I hear is uncommon and even rare. I have a lot of visuals every time, and even with an entry level dose. These visuals are, without a doubt, some of the most profound things I have ever experienced. From what I understand, most people who consume magic mushrooms see patterns when they close their eyes, have enhanced vision and perceive the colors of the world in a much prettier way, but their experiences are mostly if not completely mental. No visuals, just a different flavor of thought, in a way.
For me, eyes wide open, the patterns and flow of the energy around me is very apparent and I can see all of it. Geometric shapes, purple swirls phasing in and out of existence, I see it all. I will stare at a wall of stucco, and the little bumps and shapes will morph into a million children holding hands, then into a screen with two people talking, and back to stucco, yet the small shadows cast by the bumps are a changing highlight of pink and purple.
I have tripped about 15 times is the past two years, and from having so much experience with magic mushrooms, I am able to completely control my trip. If I don't enjoy a particular feeling, I am able to wipe it away, free of the threat of a bad trip.
When I close my eyes, I always catch myself thinking 'How is this possible?'. Last night, while I sat on my friends patio in Malibu, having consumed about 2 grams an hour ago, I was amazed by the colors. Neon yellow, to sunset orange, back to purples and reds and blues of every hue. Triangles turning into faces, smiling back at me and thoughts that change my perspective on life. I could not believe that when I would shut my eyes, and block all light from entering my vision, I could imagine and 'see' such a bright plethora of colors.
As for my emotions, my thoughts, they vary. Most of the time I am perfectly content, as happy as ever. I love listening to people talk, and learning. Occasionally I will have an 'auditory hallucination'. Once, someone was speaking with me, and I heard them say the same word three times, like a broken record. It is interesting, learning something new or studying something, when all of your senses are connected. Though your improved senses may be another part of the hallucination, it doesn't take away that omnipotent feeling.
I once tripped out in Joshua Tree, and this was by far one of my most enjoyable trips. It wasn't too hot, and I felt like a child being set free to run around and discover everything in the world. So much wonder and curiosity and freedom. There was so much space. My boyfriend and I were walking through the desert, and we came across an oasis (not a hallucination). The plant life changes from cactus and desert flowers to greenery, shrubs, moist ground and animal life. This was more dangerous than we thought, because we stepped over a rock and saw a rattlesnake, not 10 feet in front of us.
Can you imagine the pain of a rattlesnake bite during a psychedelic experience?
My fear was exaggerated tenfold. All emotions are heightened. He and I backed away, slowly, and got back on the trail.
This wasn't the first instance of danger while I was on shrooms.
One time, hiking in the Malibu Canyons, I stood on an ant mound. I jumped up and down, screamed and ran as fast as I could, shaking and patting over every part of me. These were huge, mountain ants, about the size of a pinky nail.
Another time, I was one step away from stepping on a beehive in a sewer grate. I would have, had my boyfriend not pulled me backwards.
I suppose I have a knack for not paying much attention while on shrooms. Can you blame me? There is just so much to see!
If you ever have a chance to escape and go on a shroom trip in SoCal, I highly recommend Joshua Tree National Park or the Malibu canyon hiking trails. It is unbelievable what the land and the shrooms can unlock in you.
My next trip will be at Burning Man, and it will be my first time attending.
My advice? Just be more observant than me, and I hope your world is split wide open

You done goofed now.. Title is SWIM which obviously protects you, but all throughout the post you admit it was you. Better edit all the "I"'s to "SWIM" before the feds swoop in. SWIM is their kryptonite.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline
