with an open window.
From a fellow resident of an area with frequent fires… Friend, close the window 😬 You don’t want to be breathing it! Wildfire particles are very tiny and will lodge themselves in your lungs. Do you have air purification going? Please be careful and take care of yourself.
I think it’s entirely possible this person is being honest while also just not having a firm grasp over what actually happened, due to having a psychotic break from psychedelics. The paramedic simply agreeing to whatever they said (if the conversation did happen—I’ve been unsure whether a conversation I thought I had was real or not just from smoking too much weed) could have been interpreted as much deeper and more profound than it was.
None of this requires ill intent. The mind is just incredibly bad at making and retrieving memories in the way we want (infallible, like a video) even when you aren’t on drugs.
