I will not wait for you

to regret losing me.

Does the sun wait for

the earth to regret turning?

Does the moon wait for

the night to regret ending?

The sun remains the sun,

and the moon remains the moon.

I will remain myself

with or without

your acknowledge of my value.

The Advantages of Learning

I am a man with no ambitions  And few friends, wholly incapable  Of making a living, growing no younger, Fugitive of some just doom. Lonely, ill-clothed, what does it matter? At midnight I make myself a jug Of hot white wine and cardamon seeds.  In a torn grey robe and old beret,  I sit in the cold writing poems,  Drawing nudes on the crooked margins, Copulating with sixteen year old Nymphomaniacs of my imagination.

A Deep Room Cleanse

The state of my room is extremely important to me. It’s a direct reflection of my mental health, so when it’s messy, my energy levels are low and I just feel yucky. There’s no way I’m getting any kind of work done, magical or mundane. When it feels good and clean to be in, it’s a lot easier to deal with my symptoms and be productive. You don’t have to do every step every time of course, but each step has helped me so I figured a list like this might help someone. 

  1. Change the lighting. Use natural sources of light (like pulling back the curtains and letting the sun in) over artificial ones. If you have salt lamps to turn on, those are still very nice. If you need artificial light to keep it from being too dark, try to prioritize light bulbs you like the color of, and ones that don’t whistle quietly when they’re on.
  2. Change the airflow. Open a window, if you can. Often our rooms feel yucky because the air is stale. Get some fresh air moving. If it’s too cold, it’s okay to only keep it open for a few minutes or put on a coat while you work because you’re stubborn like me.
  3. Change the sound. Put on your favorite cleansing music. Let it soak into the room. I tend to go or ambient spa stuff, or playlists that sound built for a rainy day. (Note: the music that helps you cleanse the best may not be the same as what you like the most. The playlist should keep you focused/uplifted while you work and reflect the vibes you want your room to have.)
  4. Change the smell. Take out the trash, maybe refresh the sheets on your bed. Light a scented candle, some incense, heat up some oil, something to make your room smell distinctly different from the mucky-feeling room from before. (If your method of choice is something short like a room spray, I actually like doing it at the very end.)
  5. Actually clean and organize. Nothing junks up the energy of a room more quicker than actual junk. Organize everything as much as you can (this might mean finally gutting your closet, even if you can close the door and hide it.) Wipe down any surfaces that need it, get everything fresh and functional again. Do some laundry while you work. If you have clothes or trinkets that are just collecting dust, extra points for purging them! 
  6.  Cleanse any sacred spaces by themselves. A lot of us have altars or shrines in our rooms. A sacred space can also be just an extra important area of your room, like a reading nook.  Make sure to give them extra attention! You don’t need to wipe the board energetically (and probably shouldn’t), but taking a little extra time to clean surfaces, straighten up, and make sure everything feels okay on them goes a long way.
  7. Cleanse in your regular way. Bust out the herb bundles, the bells, the ribbons, the broom, whatever you usually do to cleanse a space! The room is SUPER primed for it now, most of the negative energy probably already feels removed if not broken down. A good once-over with your favorite cleansing method should finish it off nicely. 
  8. Refresh any wards or protections. Self explanatory. If you maintain energy borders in your room, now is a good time to check in on them and zhoosh them if needed. Keep the space clean for longer! 
  9. Practice self-care. Take a shower, a nap, eat some food, whatever you need. You’ve put in a lot of work and you deserve it.

There’s courage in taking the risk of giving someone the love that you already have within yourself to gain more love. I think that’s the greatest gamble in life when you really start to invest your feelings in someone that you begin to forget about your love for yourself as you give birth to this feeling in your gut that it may all be for nothing. Why take the risk when the love you have for yourself is already sufficient? Why take the risk when the love you’re starting to invest in this someone has the chance of not being reciprocated? I believe in self-love, but I also believe that loneliness is the most tiring thing in the world. If there’s anything worth risking, if there’s anything worth losing everything for the pursuit of “more” it’s love.

Things only take as long as you give them.

If you give yourself an entire night to write 5 sentences, it’ll take you all night. 

If you give yourself 30 min or 1 hour, it’ll probably be done in that time. Obviously, you need to be realistic. Giving yourself 30 seconds is silly.

Give yourself deadlines. It helps keep the ball rolling and gives you good motivation to get your stuff done!

My advice to you, dear human is to find a new way to forgive yourself for the things that have made you lose your freedom.

“I want a relationship where we can get drunk at midnight, just the two of us and sit up talking and making out all night, and go to the beach at four in the morning. I want someone who’s down for adventure. I want someone who will go camping with me, and boating and fishing, and travel. I want someone who wants me for life. I want passion that doesn’t burn out.”

“I’ve gone crazy and suicidal and depressed. I’ve experienced love and loss and the pain that comes from moving on. I’ve both lived the life of self-love and self-destruction. And everything that I felt so deeply in my soul has made me into the person I am today.”
