Just venting. But I recently had a birthday. Which didnt turn out like I'd wanted, but I have trouble speaking up about things, even to those whom I'm closest to, so I don't think anyone really knows.

The celebration wasn't on my birthday, like I wanted. The meal was disappointing, smelling and tasting burnt and bitter. My actual birthday wasn't that great. While I certainly wasn't forgotten, I was alone.

Which, I've been coming to realize lately that I spend most of my life in a sort of social isolation. Btw my love language is quality time, so this gets stressful at times. And I guess this is one of those times...

Brother: I'm going to stop this conversation here. You're getting technical.

Me: Okay. Fair. *goes back to crocheting*

Brother, ten seconds later: But isn't it POSSIBLE-

Story idea: You get the power to shape shift, but you can only shape shift into the forms you lived in past lives.

I won't lie; I fell into the whole "I need all of the crystals and herbs and tools" phase when I first started witchcraft. And after reassessing where I am in my craft, I've come to realize just how much of my practice requires few tools. Most of my spells are made up on the spot, with correspondences that are memorized; a self love spell can be done by holding rose quartz to your heart, looking in the mirror at yourself, and saying the parts of yourself that you like; for confidence, carry a yellow trinket and squeeze it when you need the confidence.

In short, allow yourself and your practice to grow in ways that work best for you. Some people have many tools and elaborate practices - and that's wonderful! Some people have BEAUTIFULLY aesthetic altars, while others have AMAZINGLY chaotic altars. Both are valid. Find what works for you.

Because I fell in love with humans.

That's why I learned and had cemented while getting my bachelor's in anthropology. It's what I feel when I think about all of the different ways of being, seeing, and perceiving the world. What I feel when I hear and think about huamnity's little quirks, like the innate desire to pet animals we see. How when tragedy strikes, you can always see people trying to help.

How could I not fall in love with humans and humanity?

Blessed Samhain! Lighting a candle for my mother tonight and planning on doing a spell for releasing that which only holds me back. How is everyone else celebrating?

Dad and I watching the show Evil one night.

Me, a pagan witch: That's not what Michael looked like when I saw him.

Taking a few minutes to sit in the shade outside for cleansing purposes before the mosquitos eat me alive.

Contemplating making two sachets for my boyfriends room. One to cleanse (possibly from the full moon to the new moon) then one for protection

I spent 4 1/2 hours doing homework today. Got overwhelmed to the point of tears twice, but I finished it. Gonna treat myself for it.

My boyfriend was showing me his new games. He read the text on the screen to me, because he knew I wasn't wearing my glasses. I found the one.

"I missed him like a fish misses the water... like a sunflower misses the sun in the night. I had never loved anyone more. To see him happy was like gazing into the sun."

-Things I wish I could tell my boyfriend, but the words get all jumbled up when I try
