I’d Be A Hermit If Tarot Didn’t Tell Me Not To.

I love music

Transitioning to being a full time cane user, and one of the first things I’ve noticed is now the bus doesn’t start moving until I’m sitting.

That was very much not the case before.

Here’s the thing- you need to take care of yourself. When you don’t want to, when you don’t feel like it, when you don’t feel worth it.

Take care of yourself so you can take care of others. Take care of yourself to take care of others. Take care of yourself because no one else can, or will.

Maybe nothing is awful, but you feel kind of bummed, even if you can’t think of a reason you feel like this? Ask yourself:

Have I eaten lately? In the last 5 hours? Did I eat enough? It doesn’t matter if you’re not hungry, eat anyway.

When’s the last time I saw the sun for more than the time it takes to get to work/school/the mail? These things are shockingly important. It’s not just about vitamin D. You need to remember the outside world exists.

When did I last breathe fresh air? Open a window. Go sit on the sidewalk. Scream in the yard. Fresh air, even polluted city air, is necessary.

When was the last time I moved? Go for a walk. Dance in your living room. Sit upside down, or stomp your feet while sitting on your bed. It’s not about exercise. It’s reminding yourself you have a body. It’s grounding.

It’s post random shit on tumblr hours.

I’d apologize but why would I?

Oh my god

Not now kitten daddy's googling his symptoms

Sometimes I want to throw rocks at Silly Internet People because they’re WRONG, and I’ve got the kind of autism that really hates misinformation and misunderstanding.

Instead of doing that I go for a walk.

I go for a lot of walks.

Reason 1 to finish your manuscript:

You can’t read fanfiction of your work unless you, actually, y’know, finish and publish it.

I love things more than most people. People often assume I’m manic. I’m not. 15 or so psychs have checked. (insert 2009 joke from Big Bang Theory here) I am So Tired of being told that there is something wrong with me and the scope of my obsessions and convictions simply because they’re more intense than others think appropriate.

I get that not everyone is gonna get my shakespearean poetry about religious trauma but

Everything that is me at my most undiluted is what gets me accused of putting on airs. I’m not trying to sound intellectual. I am not bragging about my education.

I don’t know what to do about that.

Question for witches who don’t/can’t do divination:

What’s that look like?

I didn’t realize until recently how heavily I rely on divination in my practice. What does your practice look like without it? Whether as someone who’s done divination and stopped, or as someone who’s never done it.

Attached or unattached?
