I find Dionysus in the lights of theatres, in both confident and joyful music, as well as the dancing that comes naturally to us with it. I find him at cosplaying, putting my passion for a character out there both in the making and in the portraying. In how I suddenly lean towards the extroverted side at anime events, in how I search to make others enjoy it all with me and smile the day away.
I find Dionysus in the decisions to take breaks. When I open my game of preference after a busy day or when I move around for a bit and dedicate some words to him. I find him when I let down my hair before going to sleep, when I take care of myself and shower, sometimes even fighting thoughts that would make me feel uncomfortable in my body. I find him in the reflection of a body that is free, of a soul that should be respected.
I find Dionysus in a reassuring feeling at night. In reflections on what I've gone through, in the acceptance of my value and efforts and the will to continue despite it all. And I find him in the healing, too; in the therapeutic talking out loud, in the quiet breaks to calm the fear, in a hug after an apology before falling asleep by his hand.
