a trip

Meaning that was crazy, weird. You didnt
expect what happened
or what someone did. Also means someone or a place or situation is funny, strange, not expected.
This goes back to the
90s.

A state of mind brought on by experiencing a different state of consciousness- mostly through vast changes in perception, senses and thought patterns.
Tripping is usually experienced through the use of
psychedelic drugs such as LSD,
mescaline, and psilocybin- but can also be experienced naturally as well. This is because psychedelic drugs are supposed to break down the filters of the mind i.e 'thought at large' which are believed to eliminate unnecessary thought patterns. Because the mind (including the alleged filters) were not fully developed in youth,
tripping could sometimes happen naturally as a result. And if you don't believe me or think it's impossible, then read the example... you'll know what I'm talking about :)
Example:
When I was younger, the world seemed a more vibrant place. It was much easier to daydream or lose myself
in my thoughts, or imagine things as though they were real. Music felt really alive, as though it connected with me somehow, and I could spend hours following every crevice in the pavement on the way home from school... where now
I couldn't care less. That is how I viewed the world as a child... but having matured since then those abilities have been lost as a result. Tripping makes you more aware of all the details that pass us by- and whether it's through drugs or
natural causes, tripping is a great way to realize all the finer things around us that we normally take for granted :)
