If I follow you from here, you might likely know who I am. Musings & the occasional venting of a Wiccan woman. Scorpio ♏, Snake (1989) 🐍, Romani, Seminole & Nordic.
Opinions are purely my own. I'm an expert on nothing except my own experience. No debates.

Alright, so.... I say in my profile that I'm Wiccan, which I am. Primarily. But alot of my beliefs extend to other Pagan traditions as well.
For whatever reason, I think I've just chosen Wicca as my "main". I'm also Celtic. I have the blood of so many lineages in me, it all really only makes sense.

Not to alarm anyone.....but I have woken up again feeling absolutely sick.
There go my plans for today.....staying in bed. Sigh. 😭

I had to get up a couple of hours ago to use the bathroom, and right as I got up out of bed, I saw a flash of something white right outside my window. Would have freaked me out, but I've seen it before.
A barn owl, possibly? I'm not sure we have any in my region, but it's definetly an owl. 🦉

On a more positive note, I just took my pupper out to my backyard and got to witness a beautiful woodpecker in one of our trees. ^^ Forget what the species is called, but it resembled this.
I need to find my birb guidebook again so I can identify all these beautiful birdies showing up recently. 🐦💕

The night after this, Mom woke me up to tell me that she saw someone in our backyard.
Then, fast forward to today, our dog woke us up at the same time (around 6:00) by growling at our back door......HIGHLY out-of-character.
If this weirdness happens one more time, I'm calling the police---

It's happening again. Waking up at like 6:00 in the morning, every night, feeling panicked for no immediately discernable reason.... I mean, it's bad.
This happens for me at this time every year. Last year, it was ESPECIALLY bad.....and then someone tried to break into our house in broad daylight.

Survivors of sexual abuse need to know that nothing you feel-- or don't feel-- sexually makes you "bad."
Yeah, your relationship w/ your body, fantasies, & relationship needs & desires may be more complicated than non-survivors'. But that's not about you being "gross." Really.

Trauma recovery is about confronting our programming around needing to be "perfect"-- because that perfectionism sh*t is almost always powerfully tied to internalized shame & coercion. "Nobody's perfect" is not just a cute platitude. We need to take that conditioning seriously.

Reminder for today:
Nothing hurts yourself and others more than keeping it in. Free yourself by expressing yourself! The people who love you will listen, you do not have to fear their reaction or your own

I say "ALWAYS so weird" because legit ANY TIME I might have a new connection with someone and I make ONE mention of it, immediately my exes all come flocking back.
Or even people I never dated or slept with, just had crushes on me or such.
I won't let them affect my future, but it's annoying AF.

It is always so weird to me how someone who hasn't bothered to speak to me in nearly a decade suddenly comes out of the woodwork......to "like" a post I made about enjoying movies with my person. Out of like a dozen others about different subjects.
Something about that kinda rubs me the wrong way.

I need to ask some advice, but it's not something I can just post publicly, and I'm not sure who to ask. Can any of you guys DM me?
(I also have a huge anxiety about being direct with people, like asking direct questions..... -.- I always feel like I'm being rude. Southern-raised girl problems.)

People always seem to think I have it so easy, and that my life is so somehow glamorous, that I'm SOOO confident and self-sufficient... I will never fucking understand why anyone ever thought that.
That could not be further from the fucking goddamn truth.
If I had all I needed, I wouldn't be sick.

That fear that you "don't make sense" when you talk isn't about whether you actually make sense or not-- it's usually about having been made to feel in the past like what you had to say wasn't important or intelligent.
The reality is, you are articulate & expressive. Remember.
