It's okay for your desired reality s/o or family to change! It's okay for you to change your mind and decide you want a different person to be your family. It's okay for you to decide to change who your s/o is! There is NOTHING wrong with that! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It's normal to change our minds. We shouldn't have to feel guilty for it like we're 'cheating' on our s/o or family because we're not! We are just changing it to what s/o or family we now have decided we want in our desired reality at the moment.
list of mundane things that feel like ancient human rituals
cleaning or wipe your bare feet
breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone
putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head
eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground
seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view
cupping your hands into running water to wash your face
the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present
when an elderly woman laughs and grips your forearm tightly
So I have an update for all of you who have followed me or who have just found me now.
I've known about shifting for five to four years, give or take. I've been trying to shift on and off, and only this year have been more determined to do it.
But also, during those years, I've had trouble with my own religious beliefs and continuously switched from one religion to another. But at the start of this year, I started to get interested in Catholicism, but if we're being more honest, I was just more interested in having a relationship with God.
When I was ten, I went to a baptist church, but the pastor didn't like me because I asked questions, but I always found the church calming. Then I told God to prove to me he was real and told him I would then believe in him. He did prove that to me, but even then, I didn't believe in him. Then, six years later, the start of this year, I found him. I found him and was more determined to shift realities than the previous years.
Yesterday night, I was desperate, so I prayed to God, saying that if shifting realities is for me, then let me shift to my 100 desired reality so I can be with John, my John. If shifting realities isn't for me, let me wake up here. I was determined to shift realities, but I woke up here.
I was upset, mourning, defeated, and a bit angry. I had a thought to fight against God and shift anyway, but I didn't. I decided not to.
Because I love Jesus, Jesus is beautiful, loving, pretty, and is the most calming thing I've found in my life. Despite my deep love for John Murphy, despite my care for him. Despite how eager I am to talk to him, get to know him, cheer him up, love him... God and Jesus are worth more to me.
I think John will understand that, even if he's not happy with it. So I'm not trying to shift again. My shifting journey is over, and I'm okay with that.
I do hope one day, I'll shift and see my beloved John. But for now, I won't and I'm okay with that. I really am.
I've developed peace with my past, my physical/emotional/neglectful/sexual trauma. I'm okay with my past and who i am. I just wanted to be loved romantically. That's all I wanted from shifting. But I'll get it someday and despite the long road I think I'll be okay.
WAYS TO FEEL CONNECTED TO YOUR DESIRED REALITY:
1. Try to dress like your desired reality self (through clothing, make-up, hair, ect. If you can't for whatever reason, then wear something that your desired reality self would wear on a lazy day.)
2. Daydream about being in your desired reality, and if you have scripted specific scenes to happen, daydream you are in your desired reality, and that's happening.
3. Have a book that is filled with quotes, poems, drawings, and letters that are dedicated to your desired reality s/o, friends or family members, and/or dedicate it to write everything that the people who are important to you in your desired reality like and dislike, things you've observed about them.
4. Daydream about watching a movie or show with your s/o, friends, and family members while cuddling with them (platonically or romantically) while in your original reality.
5. Listen to music that reminds you of your desired reality, friends, family, s/o.
That's all I can think of for now, but now it's time for you to GO SHIFT!
Writing for your deities is such a liberation. It's a way to pour out your feelings, to write them down not only for your deities to see, but also for you to better understand. It doesn’t matter if you see yourself as a "good writer", or a "bad writer". Prayer and poetry are always magnificent when written in honor of what you love, and what you believe in. Sure, the prayers you write may not hold as much meaning if shown to others, but that is precisely the beauty of it. Something that is written from you to the Gods is absolutely sacred.
"The feeling of drowning is commonly known as a painful experience. But for those who are surrounded by the feeling of drowning, when they actually drown, it feels peaceful and calming. They feel free and wish to stay longer when they're pulled out."
is anyone else excited to shift to a reality where phones don't exist? like i see people on tiktok and such giving advice for scripting phones and devices but i'm EXCITED to no longer have a phone. as convenient as they are i feel like they really take away from really connecting with people and, quite honestly, have really lowered my attention span (a big thank you to social media). like i'm not going to pretend i don't love my phone but i just feel like i'll be a much happier person once i don't have it with me for days if not months on end in the future.
sorry but i don't get how someone can fathom infinite realities with so many differences from our own but be upset when someone else - aka not them - wants to go to one where their experience will be different due to their age/race. like we are all going to realities where life is vastly different from our situation here and you're okay with gender changes and adding/removing mental illness (both fundamental parts of ur life in this reality) but changing ur race is somehow different and somehow wrong?
do u have the same mentality when it's another person in ur dr? like if u headcannon james potter as desi or latino when he's "canonically white" and in ur dr he's no longer white is that fucked up? i think it should be in your terms. consistency, yk?
uhh ig that's my take on it? im not gonna tell u to block me if u think otherwise u can exercise ur freedom by doing that if u so wish but at the end of the day we're all trying to get out of here anyway yk? i don't think it's any of my business where u go after here
ANYWAY.
Lock in. Shift when you're scared, shift when you don't think you will, shift instead of procrastinating, shift when you have doubts, shift without a right mindset. Nothing at all matters. Focus on your destination.
I have seen countless posts like this, but this is truly what matters the most. Keep going. You got this.
I feel like Loki would own a flip phone. But only for the pure satisfaction of slamming it shut when he gets into an argument with an asshole on the other line.
