#emotional state

I hold tightly to joy and hope because it feels better than to give in to despair and pessimism. That’s all.

Work "friendship" is so weird because one minute you are crying about your family issues to each other and the next you see them all throwing slurs around like its nothing and you are on side like

I felt tender and volatile, and worried that if I thought about anything too hard, it would make me upset.

Need advice for a questioning system(me lol) okay so I’m a questioning system, either fragments or facets. I do not know which but the important thing is…it’s hard. Would I be plural even if it’s like…emotional? Whenever I feel a specific or certain emotion or vibes I feel like a different person or..different source??..I don’t know how to explain it.

Hi! This is a tough question, and we feel it’s ultimately up to you to decide!

We’d like to softly pitch some non-plural things that you may be dealing with. We’re not trying to disuade you from looking into plurality, but we want to make sure you have as clear an idea as possible about what constitutes plurality and whether or not it’s something you’re going through!

It’s worth it to mention that all kinds of people, singlets and individual headmates included! can experience a range of emotions. Sometimes a singlet might feel like a different person when they’re angry vs. relaxed vs. stressed vs. elated, or anything else. It’s normal to feel different when you’re feeling different emotions - that’s part of being human! So we would say that simply experiencing different emotions (even if they’re particularly strong emotions) shouldn’t be an indication that you’re plural in and of itself. You can learn more about basic emotions and emotional states here (an infographic made by the University of West Alabama).

You also may be fictionkin or otherwise otherkin and experiencing kin shifts (mentioning this since you said it’s like your source changes!). We aren’t super educated on kinning and kin shifts, but if you feel like your “source” shifts during different emotional states, this could be something like a kintype that changes depending on your emotional state. You can learn more about the different kinds of shifts that accompany kinning here (a post made by fromfiction here on Tumblr)!

If neither of those feel right, and you still feel more drawn to plurality than anything else, you can check out our master post for questioning systems! Hopefully something there will be useful for you.

And if, in the end, you find that the plural label works for you, that you feel affirmed, safe, and comfortable identifying as plural, then you are always welcome to identify that way! Plurality is an opt-in label, meaning you can try it out for a while and see if it works for you even if you’re still questioning!

We hope this helps somewhat! Best of luck to you on your journey!

Have you ever felt a strong connection with Source or your inner being? If yes, use this feeling as your vibrational anchor!

As creators, we decide what we will manifest by controlling our frequencies through feelings. When we are vibrating at higher frequencies, i.e. vibrationally more aligned to Source and our inner being, we have greater powers to manifest what we want. However, our human minds tend to react to the situations around us. As a result, our emotions and thus our frequencies are often changed due to these external circumstances. Thus, having a vibrational anchor with Source can be beneficial as it gives us the possibility to navigate back to the frequency that allows more fruitful manifestations to come in the future. This can be done in many ways, such as by recalling the feeling, or changing your perspectives and focuses.

Please note that when something bad happens, it is healthy for us to grieve and process the experience so that we can release the emotional energies, learn from it, and move on. Nonetheless, we can use our vibrational anchor to make the pain more bearable. Eventually, after a period of grief, we can use the anchor to manifest something new and desirable!

Did you ever have a person in your life that you knew from the start was bad for you, and you still couldn't back away? It was like magnetism, and even though you rationally knew you should leave, you just didn't have the emotional strength... And so they came into your life like a hurricane, ravaged for a bit, and when they left, you and everything around was in ruins...

And the thing is, you knew exactly what would happen, from the very start, but no matter how much you wanted too change the outcome, you just couldn't. All you could do, is helplessly stand by and watch as it all plays out.

We’re staying with my mom for Christmas. I have a rabbit. My mom loves having a “grandbunny.”

Over time my mom has become more familiar with how I take care of my bunny and the things she likes, so for this visit, she set up a rabbit enclosure for her. The whole thing is lined with cardboard which my bun loves to tear apart. She threw in little rugs she can move around. Each corner of the makeshift pen is like an exhibit with enrichment zones.

My mom called it rabbit kindergarten!

I think another thing that makes me so happy about it is that she’ll also have a human grandchild here for Christmas, and set up a crib and space for them too. But she took the time to do this for me and my rabbit. What love!

"why should I get invested in shows if they'll just get canceled" I was deeply invested in Heroes (2006) and it was not canceled, it just got really terrible. I also got really invested in the sandwich I had a few weeks ago despite it only lasting like 15 minutes. You must embrace the ephemeral. You must be willing to love things that may not love you back, that might betray you, or that may die an untimely death. As the great philosopher Mr. Mitchell Lee Hedberg said "I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end."

Honestly the cliche advice is true. If you fill your life w things you’re passionate about, if you challenge yourself every day, if you give your own opinion of yourself more weight than you do other people’s opinions of you, you will actually thrive. Like no one can tell u anything

Premature ejaculation can be a source of distress, leading to diminished self-esteem and strained relationships. It’s more common than you think, and help is within reach. Frequently, it’s remedied by changes in lifestyle and habits, as well as by consulting experts at a notable men’s medical center in Atlanta, Georgia.
