On: Storytelling and writing
You probably, if you can, imagined something with it. Each one of your imagery was different and unique than even mind, but there's a connection there. and in that connection: empathy, understanding, relation. As old as we are as sentient beings.
If even for brief moments, I cherish these connections and exchanges of empathy through storytelling. It is a deeply profound joy within me, and I love to pass along such things :)

early fascination with imagery and the mind's eye.
If I tell you about a place by the ocean and a long stone dock jutting further out than most docks go. If I talk to you about walking down that dock and sitting on its' edge, surrounded by the waves of the ocean, watching the sun glow orange and dim over the horizon, and as that sun dips below and dark takes over, you see blue lights in the water around you from luminescent life .

A large part of me has always felt akin to fae, and I could never parse it until now. Two of my greatest passions have roots in storytelling and empathy. Connection between me and you, the listener or reader. My job is to make you see and/or feel things, and I like to focus on such otherworldly things.
But it remains that my passion is one of empathy and connection.

Given my keen interest in both writing and music, this piece (and speech) got me thinking about why I'm a writer and why I love music and production so much on a conceptual level.

I plan on doing a write-up of New Cydonia once I explore it enough. It's such a WONDERFUL place, no wonder I call it home, here! n.n
Paracosm
I'll just be over here in New Cydonia looking out my apartment window out into the northern part of the city sorta spilling into the ocean n.n
It's a partly cloudy day. perfect for getting productive.

Thank you for pushing and trying. Thank you for leaning and being leaned on. Thank you for laughter and joy, or a shoulder to cry. Thank you for being beautifully and unshakably vivid. I am awed by your being, and am lucky to know you :)
Otherkin, self-understanding, frustrations
I often feel like if I just yell it loud enough maybe I'll believe it some day. Maybe it'll sink in deep enough to where I actually believe it.
Otherkin, self-understanding, frustrations (side note)
I've been frustrated lately because I don't actually think I believe I am what I say I am, and I'm not sure why I can't know this just as well as other things. There's such a disconnect that I keep continuously thinking of myself as human and then getting extremely dysphoric and depressed because I can't even be content with it from within myself
Otherkin, self-understanding, frustrations (side note)
tangentially related, I am always frustrated with myself with this. I would never say that I 'dislike being a guy', because I'm NOT a guy and I know that truer than I ever thought I was a guy before I knew about being trans.
It's so, SO much harder to say that with regards to Being Human, and I'm not sure how to get to the point where I know it as well as I know my own gender.
Otherkin
Likewise, if you feel at home being human, that's entirely fine. I personally don't understand it from my perspective, and I try to distance myself from it, but I never want my ventings of disdain to parse as speaking of human folks who are genuinely really good and well and such.
A lot of my ventings come from a place of dysphoria and dislike of my own humanity, so There's That
