I Love Things More Than Most People. People Often Assume I’m Manic. I’m Not. 15 Or So Psychs Have

I love things more than most people. People often assume I’m manic. I’m not. 15 or so psychs have checked. (insert 2009 joke from Big Bang Theory here) I am So Tired of being told that there is something wrong with me and the scope of my obsessions and convictions simply because they’re more intense than others think appropriate.

I get that not everyone is gonna get my shakespearean poetry about religious trauma but

Everything that is me at my most undiluted is what gets me accused of putting on airs. I’m not trying to sound intellectual. I am not bragging about my education.

I don’t know what to do about that.

Young artists

I’m so, so sorry to tell you. The experts are right. The magic is in the editing. I know it’s not fun, AND you have to make the thing before you get to edit it.

When I edit photos I feel kind of “meh” about, I often fall in love with them through editing. When I edit photos I think are really good, I often become obsessed with them. I’m debating submitting some Pride photos to major magazines because I love them so much.

My writing has always been good. I’ve been told that my whole life. I never really felt like it was true, it was just something I did. Recently though, I’ve started to train my editing skill in writing. All of a sudden, I see the art in my work.

Make art. Make as much art that excites you as you can. The worst thing you can do is hold off on doing projects you’re impassioned about because you aren’t happy with your skill level yet. It will eat away at your love for the thing.

Do it badly. Remake it later. Sometimes the true beauty of the peace is the enthusiastic enjoyment apparent of the thing, not the 10,000 hours that went into skill. Skill without passion is no art at all.

New ideas will always come. It is much harder to reignite passion in a place you burned out in shame.

You ever find yourself 500 words deep in an essay about kink theory and think to yourself “How did I get here? Is this what I want to be doing with my life?”

Because when that happens I usually just keep on writing.

There’s a sorority named Omega Psi Phi.

Not usually what I think of when I hear someone say Omega Sci-Fi, but alright.

Question for witches who don’t/can’t do divination:

What’s that look like?

I didn’t realize until recently how heavily I rely on divination in my practice. What does your practice look like without it? Whether as someone who’s done divination and stopped, or as someone who’s never done it.
