Love and Gratitude 

As I prepare my room for @KawaSeadrake to move in, I reflect with my altar at the window on my time spent at Gateway Station. @mawr , @kelseyhusky , and Bird offering a place for me to stay was perfectly timed because my van broke down, my toe broke, and I can't even describe the amount of gratitude I feel for having such incredible people in my life.

Thank you... Thank you with all my heart.

Crystal Woo 

Holy shit. I knew investing in a chunk of selenite was a good investment. The moment I picked up the package I could feel the vibrations coming off of it. The moment I held it in my hand, I felt a tingling surge all up and down my body.

I'm thinking of buying some smaller selenite sticks to give out to people because damn. The positive healing power of this stone is fucking unreal.

Selfie/eye contact/mascara 

Queering it up with my first ever attempt at mascara. I gotta say. If my eyes weren't feminine enough already, this does the trick!

I just realized that never in my life have I been to a Toys R Us. Fuck it. I'm going today!

Gotta love how a spicy bowl of pho literally blasts the snot out of a cold! Pho'k yeah!

I just noticed. From the front, my mullet and chinstrap give the impression of a lion's mane. Being a Leo, I find that incredibly fitting.

I have a feeling that all these years of conversations with myself in mirrors has primed me to take up scrying.

Misanthropy 

I'm feeling some really, really dark and bitter feelings towards humanity right now. I keep dealing with a past full of constant fighting to be who I want to be in a sea of predatory neurotypicals that wanted to shape me for their twisted desires. A part of me feels that human civilization is hell. A cesspool of prejudice and hatred.

All I wish is to escape from it... To live out the rest of my time in the orthocosm in peace and solitude with the rest of my kin.

I feel like a total blubbering mess right now... Fuck... I need to take a bath and lie down before I overthink myself into a psychotic episode.

On the sensation of chewing... 

I'm a habitual gum chewer. Mainly because I'm starting to realize the cause behind emotional eating. Before I started changing my diet to avoid gaining weight at my new job position, I did a little research.

It's not so much the feeling we get from the taste and texture of food that soothes us. Chewing is an action that naturally calms us down. Because our broken, backwards, and anxiety prone brains don't associate it with danger.

"Beware of Destination Addiction - a preoccupation with the idea that happiness is in the next place, the next job and with the next partner. Until you give up the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are."

On Being a Leo 

The challenge to any Leo is self control. To master one's emotions. For we really do have the volatility stars.

We help life flourish. Bring warmth to everyone. To provide abundance and happiness. To help the world glow brightly and bring out the best of everyone and everything.

Yet, at the same time, we have to be careful of maintaining a balance. Lest we go supernova and destroy all around us, or collapse into a black hole that sucks everyone into darkness.

Let it all burn away.
Let it all burn away!
LET IT ALL BURN AWAY!

My new favorite mantra for obsessive and negative thoughts after today.

DreamWorks/drug use 

Last night I had a strange dream where I found myself in a dingy apartment with brick walls.

And before I knew it, I found myself smoking meth out of a pipe. The effects are exactly as I remember it.

It was then that I started freaking out. "Holy shit. What the fuck? How did I fall back into this again???"

As I'm sitting here awake, I realize that to the day, I'm exactly one month away from the first anniversary of when I was dosed...

Almost one year already...

Every time I hear "The two shall become one flesh," I think body horror instead of marriage.

Pressure 

Half of the time, I'm wondering if I'm being too hard on myself, or if I'm being judged for my lack of experience as a driver. I have a lot of it down well, but some days...

Well. Let's just say, there's a lot to take in. I often have to struggle with assumptions that are being made by people mentoring me. As frustrating as it is, I understand that some people make assumptions without realizing it. Overall, I've dealt with worse in my lifetime.

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse to the Velveteen Rabbit. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

My "Soul Truck" 

A few weeks away from being on my own as a driver and I found a truck that I meshed with so well, I felt like I was driving my van for work. There's still a height difference to worry about, but I think I found my match! awoo.space/media/sgJ1KDKPTmgKl
