i believe you can always get back to yourself. you can always soften into being again. no matter how long you might be stuck in a pattern of unhappiness, of being jaded, of feeling guarded from the world in some way. there is always a path back. give yourself a chance to find it.

““It took a special kind of guts to be a fuck up as a woman, I thought. To say to hell with being the nice girl, the responsible one, the one who makes sure the man takes care of himself and eats properly and doesn’t take too many drugs. To be just as nihilistic and self-destructive as a man, knowing all along that you’ll get crucified for it, because somehow, the world will make everything your fault. He’ll be a martyr, and you’ll be a succubus. He’ll be a genius and you’ll be a groupie, He’ll be a hero, and you’ll be an ugly fat crack whore who deserves to die.””
— Courtney Love (via radiumangel)

Finding Inspiration in Everyday Life
Discovering the Extraordinary in Mundanity
In every breath, every leaf's gentle sway, lies a tale waiting to blossom, a muse's delicate display
Amidst time’s ceaseless flow, the seeker of tales experiences a yearning; a longing to explore and bestow. As a writer’s ink dances across the page, we delve into the vastness of life’s grand design; crafting stories from whispers and making the ordinary shine. The physical page may confine our words to its boarders but its that inspiration which weaves its ethereal role where every moment becomes a glimmer waiting to spark beneath our eyes. So, dear reader, today we are going to have a chat about finding inspiration in everyday life.
The Beauty in Simplicity
In the realm of simplicity, lies a profound beauty often overlooked. Amidst the rush and clamor of daily life, we often forget to appreciate the extraordinary moments hidden within the mundane. Yet, it is within the gentlest of gestures, the subtlest of sights, and the quietest of sounds where inspiration waits patiently to be discovered.
When we shift our perspective and attune our senses to the present, we can unlock the potential to unearth new concepts in the simplest of things. The delicate flutter of a butterfly's wings, the soothing rhythm of raindrops on a windowsill, or the familiar embrace of a loved one—these are the moments that hold immeasurable significance.
By recognizing the beauty in simplicity, we can invite a sense of awe and wonder into our lives. We awaken to the profound interconnectedness of all things and open ourselves to the infinite possibilities that lie within the ordinary. So let us pause, breathe, and allow the world around us to inspire and ignite our creative spirits. In the whispers of simplicity, we shall find the extraordinary.
The Poetry of Nature
Nature's poetic allure unveils itself to those who truly immerse themselves in it. Its rhythmic symphony and mesmerizing patterns feed our creative spirits. We witness delicate ferns mirroring celestial spirals, revealing the unfathomable interconnectedness of everything in our world. Nature's vibrant palette paints vivid pictures in our minds, fueling the drive to create.
Beyond visuals, nature engulfs us in a sensory feast. Fragrances of blossoms, symphonies of birdsong, and the caress of grass evoke profound emotions. Awe, serenity, and primal connection intertwine in the enchanting realm that exists outside our door.
In this poetic realm, we find solace and limitless potential for creative growth. Nature's language transcends words, inviting us to listen, interpret, and let it guide our creative endeavors. As we open ourselves to its wonders, we become avid listeners, allowing for a timeless beauty to permeate our souls and shape our artistic expressions.
By spending time in nature as often as possible, you won't only nourish your ability to write about natural environments, but you'll hone all your senses to better pick up on the world around you.
Human Stories: Portraits of Inspiration
Human connection is a tapestry of inspiration, where stories intertwine and breathe life into our creative souls. Each tale holds the power to captivate and illuminate, inviting us to explore the vast spectrum of human experiences and emotions.
Diverse and profound, these stories fuel our imagination. From the depths of sorrow to the heights of joy, they stir within us a kaleidoscope of feelings. They inspire empathy, curiosity, and introspection, urging us to explore the human condition in all its complexities.
Personal encounters bear witness to the transformative nature of human stories. The chance meeting that altered the course of a life, the shared laughter that transcended barriers, or the wisdom gained from a stranger's words—each interaction enriches our understanding of ourselves and others.
While writing can seem a very solitary task and many of us avoid overly-social situations, it's still important to maintain our connection with humanity, whether that's peering into one another's lives through the computer screen or getting out into the world and truly immersing ourselves in humanity.
Carving Out Time: Cultivating an Inspired Writing Practice
As we carve out time to cultivate an inspired writing practice, let us welcome the world as our muse. In the tapestry of daily life, inspiration awaits us at every turn, ready to whisper its secrets and ignite our creative flames. It is in the rustling of autumn leaves, the laughter of children, and the serenity of a sunrise that stories come alive.
It can be hard to find time to seek out that which sets our mind ablaze. Many of us simply let it come to us. But we need not be passive participants! Here are some tips for finding new inspiration in your life:
Incorporating inspiration into a writing routine:
Set aside dedicated time for writing, creating a sacred space for your craft.
Engage in activities that nourish your creative spirit, such as reading, exploring art, or practicing mindfulness.
Arm yourself with the power of rituals, like journaling or taking nature walks, to exercise your mind before each writing session.
Actively seeking inspiration in daily life:
Cultivate a sense of curiosity and wonder, observing the world around you with fresh eyes.
Seek out new experiences, whether it's visiting unfamiliar places or engaging in conversations with diverse individuals.
Find comfort in solitude and introspection, allowing the quiet moments to reveal insights and spark creativity.
The importance of perseverance and discipline:
Observe the ebb and flow of the creative muse, understanding that it may come and go.
Commit to a writing schedule, showing up consistently to hone your craft.
Embrace challenges and setbacks as opportunities for growth
So, fellow writers, venture forth with open hearts and eyes, for inspiration hides in the ordinary and extraordinary alike. Seek it in the melodies of city streets and the symphony of nature's song. Find beauty in both the moments of solitude and the vibrant chaos of human connections. Through perseverance and disciplined dedication, let your pen dance upon the page, breathing life into the stories that reside within you.
In the pursuit of inspiration, may your writing practice be a journey of self-discovery and wonder. May it be a testament to the beauty that lies in carving out time for your craft. And may the words you weave inspire others, for there is a world waiting to be explored through your unique lens!

Venus in Leo is FINALLY coming out of shadow on the 7th. Even though it'll be saying farewell as it crosses into Virgo, I hope that you've learned that you must, must, must step into your power if you decide that your life is worth living opposed to drifting through on auto-pilot.
You are deserving and worthy, your goals are not lofty or unattainable, and anything you want, regardless if it seems out of your reach at the moment was specifically meant for YOU and no one else. Even if others share your chosen career or lifestyle, you're one of a kind and no one is doing it quite like you, are they? You need to start speaking to yourself as if you're your BIGGEST fan.
With the south node being in Libra for the next year and a half, you're going to really FEEL as if the universe is tempting you to try to BELIEVING in yourself so you can allow these wonderful things to come. Libra demands that we demand BETTER for ourselves. Because we deserve EVERYTHING, don't we???
Because if you're following me and managed to find this post and read down to this very line.. you manifested it. You knew you needed to hear it, didn't you???

“In films, we are voyeurs, but in novels, we have the experience of being someone else: knowing another person's soul from the inside. No other art form does that. And this is why sometimes, when we put down a book, we find ourselves slightly altered as human beings. Novels change us from within.”
-Donna Tartt, in 2013 interview by Laurie Grassi for Chatelaine

your abuser could have gone thru life without abusing you. this was an option all along. they didn’t have to hurt you, they didn’t have to be cruel, they didn’t have to declare themselves an authority for what is and isn’t good for you and decide that abuse is what you deserve, they didn’t have to manipulate you, they didn’t have to lie to you, they didn’t have to insult, criticize or humiliate you, they didn’t have to control you, they didn’t have to crush your self confidence, they didn’t have to scare or hit or push or torture or gaslight you, they didn’t have to do any of it. they could have gone thru their life without doing it. nobody forced them to do it. it was their own decision to do those things. they are the sole person responsible for doing all of it. they would have lost nothing if they didn’t do those things. it wouldn’t take anything away from their life not to destroy yours. hold. them. responsible.

“Why didn’t you just leave?”
Because they didn’t know what abuse looked like.
Because they internalized a lot of messages about chewed gum and used tape.
Because they were financially dependent on their abuser.
Because their culture or religion forbids it.
Because they were scared it would escalate.
Because they kept hearing from others how great their abuser is.
Because they were told that relationships take work.
Because they really did love their abuser.
Because their parents’ relationship is just like that.
Because they think no one else could truly love them.
Because their abuser is really loving when not abusive.
Because they feel like they “owe” their abuser.
Because they wanted to make it work.
Because they don’t think someone like them can be abused.
Because all their relationships were like that.
Because they reached out and no one believed them.
Because they were worried it would ruin their life.
Because they wanted to protect their children.
Because they believed their abuser could change.

Underrated Dark academia movie
"Tolkien" 2019
Seriously people. He was a student, then a writer, then a professor. He was part of a group of students who wanted to change the world through art, poetry, music and stories. Most of his friends die in the war. What is more dark academia then that?
