Of Course My Life Is Full Of Luxury. Of Course I Am Rich And Wealthy And Spoiled. I Am Always Taken Care

Finally someone gets me

A common attitude that I find absolutely insufferable is whenever people insist, "It's just the way things are."

"You just feel old when you're in your 30's."

"Some people are just assholes like that."

"Kids are just difficult at that age."

Like...buddy. Given all the horrors we've seen the past few years I think it's time we call a spade a spade. The only purpose these answers serve is to justify your feelings. They don't actually explain anything.

Why do we feel old in our 30's? Have we meaningfully differentiated "aging" from things like "fatigue from adult responsibilities catching up to us" or "sleep debt" or "fatigue from chronic pain"?

Why are some people assholes? Is it because they enjoy pushing others around, or is it a byproduct of something like insecurity, anger due to feeling powerless, mental health issues, stress, rebellion, trauma, fear, conditioning on how they ought to behave, etc? Have we asked people why they act like assholes sometimes?

Why are kids difficult at that age? Is it nature or nurture? Are they trying to communicate something they can't put into words? Are they bored and need enrichment? Is their behavior a symptom of a health problem? Have you asked them what's up? Do you have a history of respecting their answers, enough for them to confide you with the truth?

Sure, you don't always have to be interested in investigating the reason behind something, but that's a choice that says you're content with not knowing, rather than the reason truly being "it's just the way things are, are who are we to question it?"

Questioning things is why we have smartphones, ibuprophen, and elections, Greg. If we were fine with the way things were we wouldn't have bothered leaving the trees.

heye every one.

There is a major difference between manifesting something and working your ass off to get something. People will often say you can't manifest without working for it, that's bullshit! If that's the case you're just doing what the average person is doing, you work at something tirelessly, lose sleep, possibly suffer in your health, that's grinding not manifesting. This feels toxic to me, teaching people that you must work like a mule in order to manifest. Manifestation requires you to nurture your relationship with the Divine, beacause at the end of the day that's all it is. When working to manifest don't think of it as work just think of you matching the Divines energy, you're letting them know you are just as invested in what you seek to manifest as they are. Manifestation only requires that you match the energy of what you are manifesting, by overworking for what you are manifesting you are actually delaying it. It's saying that you only trust yourself and not the Divine, and that my dear is not manifestation, you're just working.

Note: This is my opinion and it's okay if it doesn't resonate with you.

The sun tarot card weather spell (inverted)

Holding the Sun card upside down, chant the following spell to make a cloudy or rainy day.

“The sun grows dark upon this day,

See the power I display.

In the light that will turn bleak,

A rainy/cloudy day is what I seek.”

Shit. I don’t have an ice tray.

My spell for snow is me literally going outside, yelling at the sky to start snowing and then tossing a few ice cubes from my ice cube tray to motivate the sky.

It did work. It’s snowing right now even though it wasn’t supposed to in my area.

(~7 = around 7)

I remember a fanfic that did something that reminded me of ~7 year old me. What they did was they made a person alternate between hero and villain. Or sometimes-they’re-a-hero-sometimes-they’re-a-villain.

And ~7 year old me loved to take a barbie doll that was supposed to be a hero, and have her cover her face with her hair to hide her hero identity. When her hero identity was hidden, she was a villain. She’d cause trouble, get out of sight, show her hero identity and “defeat the villain”. Basically, she took credit for “defeating” herself.

This of course wouldn’t actually work in real life, mainly because in real life people don’t have super powers. The other part is because the barbie always showed herself, in the same clothes as her hero self. Another part is because it’d take too much effort.
