You Think Caesar And Pompey Hate Fucked?

Not to sound Romantic or anything, but I too have a striking fascination with the irrational, the demonic and the grotesque.

lines from the epic of gilgamesh that make me feel like this

if you see me wandering the windswept moors and highlands in nothing but a nightgown plastered to my skin with rain, wailing and wringing my hands as i stumble over the already mud-trodden hem, i ask that you do NOT approach. i will be FINE. i just need to work through some stuff & be dramatic first. please respect that.

ambition is devouring her,

cracking and bending,

heart clenched and dripping

with poison greed and silver blood

the 3 am thoughts they say

are the truest a mind can form

her 3 am thoughts just say

when will I prove them all wrong

Training the mind/ personal development

Ok sooo … recently I’ve been trying to teach my mind to be ok and although I know that there will be times when I’m not that, as well, is ok. The point is, I’m trying. Sometimes .. once in a blue, I’ll mention little things that I’m doing to be ok but I just want to mention that therapy is also an option if you need someone to talk to. (i believe if you’re in school (uni, college), counseling might be included in tuition) You don’t have to deal with it on your own. Below I share sources of things i’ve watched, listened to, follow, etc of where i get motivation, positivity, and tips of personal development. I know there are others out there who may feel the same way as I do and don’t know where to find motivation or where to begin. I got tired of feeling like a prisoner to my mind and decided to slowly try to find ways to tell my brain “everything will be ok.” I am no pro at this but again I’m trying. Feel free to add on! Just remember it’s ok and to take care of yourselves my loves! 💕
