thinking about all the aromantic people who died thinking they were broken. thinking about all the aromantic people who died settling for "at least I care about this person". thinking about all the aromantic people that died without ever being able to know why they couldn't reciprocate the feelings of anyone, men, women, people of other genders and more. thinking about all the aromantic people that died being called sluts that never found the right person to marry. thinking about all the aromantic people that died that had to tell themselves that it was fine, they were fine, this marriage will be okay and it will be for the future of their lineage, while crying themselves to sleep every night. thinking about all the aromantic people that died that we will never know about, because being aromantic isn't even close to a possibility in the mind of society at large. because love is supposed to be the force that saves everything. because love is supposed to bring everyone together. because to love is human.
Do you wanna shift? Do it.
You don't fell okay here? Shift.
Do you want never come back to you cr and stay in a place where you're loved? Permashift.
Don't sure to permashift? Don't do it and take your time.
Don't ask how, when or where. You can. You do. Anytime you want.
Do it and remember how powerful you are.
“I’m going to try shifting tonight!” You’re already in your DR.
“I haven’t shifted yet-“ Yes you have. You’re already in your DR.
“I can’t wait to be in my DR!” You’re already in your DR.
Get this into your heads. This is the key. You are already there.
Law of Assumption. That’s all.
EVERYONE!!! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FIVE YEARS TRYING TO SHIFT, I FINALLY HEARD A NOISE FROM MY DESIRED REALITY WHEN I WAS TRYING TO SHIFT LAST NIGHT!!! I KNOW I DID BECAUSE IT SOUNDED TO CLOSE AND NOTHING IN MY ROOM OR AROUND ME CAN MAKE THAT NOISE!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!!
Say it with me even if you don't believe it at the moment:
I AM WORTH IT
I AM WORTHY OF LOVE
I AM KIND
I AM SMART
I AM IMPORTANT
MY THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS MATTER
I LIKE WHO I AM
I LOVE ME
I AM PROUD OF ME
I CARE ABOUT ME
I CAN FILL UP SPACE
I AM NOT A BURDEN
okay but saying "i wish i had known you sooner" — like the love in my heart is growing so big and fast for you that i wish i had the opportunity to have you way earlier by my side, because i want to love you longer than i can do now. my love for you reaches my past and makes a place for you.
you are your dr self.
i think alot of people think of their dr self as a COMPLETELY different person, but it's literally you!!
you currently exist in your dr. You are literally always in your dr. you could argue it's a different version of you, but it's still you. what your dr self is capable of, you are capable of, wherever your dr self is, you are, whatever your dr self looks like, you look like. there's no difference between you and your dr self except the differences you make. there is a version of you that has shifted. That version of you IS STILL YOU. literally, the only thing you have to do is make yourself aware of that version of you. that's it. it's not the crazy, magical transformation you think it is.
Remember,
You are a practicing pagan. You don't have to do spell work everyday. You don't have to talk to your deities everyday. You don't have to spend every waking second focusing on your practice to be a valid pagan.
Your valid. No matter how often you're able to work with your deities. No matter how often you do spell work. No matter if you dedicate little or big things to your practice.
You make an effort once in awhile and thats more than enough. Save your spoons, it's ok.
cherishing the things that bring you peace is so important. doodling ugly creatures. listening to brown noise. rereading the same books. rediscovering hymns and religious texts from your childhood. doing your makeup just to erase it. not everything has to have a deeper meaning or purpose, and not everything you do has to be for a more complex reason than how it makes you feel in the moment.
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.
