#filling my cup

[astro1derland]

In today’s transits, the Moon at 25° Virgo ♍️ forms a polar opposition to Neptune at 25° Pisces ♓️ and a square with Mars at 28° Sagittarius ♐️ and Mercury at 22° Sagittarius ♐️. Our needs to acquire emotional stability seem to be at odds with our mysticism and dreamy nature, our motivations, and our intellectual mind in an adventurous, fiery yet dreamy and unique way. Look for a new outlook and outlet today. Vent to someone new today. Find joy in the small things today. Listen to yourself today. Find your escape today. Lighten your heart today.

Filling my own cup?

For the first time ever in my almost 37 years on this Earth, I've felt a glimpse of what it means to genuinely fill my own cup. To do activities that fuel me instead of drain me and it is the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced.

Granted, I may have experienced this before but can't remember. Even if that's the case, though, this feels completely new. Like when you try something new and you realise you're really talented and it comes easy to you? Yeah, like that.

What was it?

Writing. I've written a whole arse blog post and a VERY long email for my newsletter today. Pouring my heart out. Speaking my truth. My actual truth, just like I've been doing on here the past few days. And it has given me MORE energy. More ideas are flowing in, I want to do even more writing. About all the topics. I want to change the world with my words. Write opinions and educational pieces. Random tumblrs and well thought out essays. All I want to do is WRITE.

That's not entirely true. I also want to do other things. But I've learnt something from this filling my cup feeling today. That the secret to my creative juices flowing is actually using them. So simple. So complicated.

Habit stacking

Ugh. One of those productivity culture phrases. I find it helpful anyway, so I'm using it. This is what I'm doing at the moment. I have stacked the habit (!) of writing on top of my morning meditation, which in turn has been stacked on top of my journaling session, which I hardly ever miss. Only if I feel unwell or my sleep wake cycle is completely out of whack. Which happens more often than I'd like, but the journaling habit is firmly established. Only took me a few years...

So, yeah! It seems to be working. For now. It's been a few days. And it's a new year. So if I call this resolution, it won't last anyway. I call it intention. And if it keeps on giving like this, it might actually carry me through the year. Stay tuned.

Walking on the path the other day with my daughter who is the mother of a 9 month old, she said “I feel like every coffee is a gift. “ I like the idea that every cup is a gift no matter what you choose to put in it. Today I filled my cup by drawing and adding color to the quick sketches from the last week.

Apologies to everyone who follows me because you’re about to be subjected to SO much Lisa Frankenstein posting, I am so deeply abnormal about this movie and I would not be surprised if it ended up being one of my top ten favorite movies of all time.

My only wish is that my theatre could have been more crowded, it was a pretty dead audience (pun intended) which meant I spent a solid 60% of my energy trying not to cause a scene every time there was a needle drop or anything that felt like it was specifically calling me out for being a weird little goth.

💭okay, but imagine playing a game of truth and dare with your friends. shoko asks you on a truth who you think would be the worst in a relationship, and you choose gojo.

he scowls at you with annoyance and argues who would bother putting up with you. it’s all in jest, you both always butt heads. something about your personalities, mei mei explained, like trying to insert a square peg into a round hole.

eventually, satoru makes you eat your words, because he’s actually the coziest, sweetest, most considerate man you’ve ever been with.

you often wonder why you thought the worst about him, and he often wonders if you still consider him a terrible choice 🥺

Wait wait what did your boss do with the sweet potato??? I'm trying to imagine how you'd eat a raw sweet potato, they are so solid. You could shave bits off I guess??? Did they microwave it?

he slowly sawed it in half with a plastic butter knife, put one half back in the lunchbox (presumably for tomorrow) and then microwaved the other half

it's the day before my birthday, and my girlfriend surprised me with an outing to a local bird aviary/botanic gardens in the mountains!!!

this was an absolute delight for me, known bird enjoyer, and i got to have many cute and phenomenal birds perched on my head (which i loved and plushie magolor 'tolerated', on account of it being my birthday). i even got to see a nicobar pigeon, which i had never seen in person before!

they also surprised me with an early birthday present to use at the incredible mountain-top picnic spread my gf planned (😭😭) of this extraordinarily cute kirby themed liquid-glitter cup!!

and of course, in true starflung fashion i injured myself twice

once, not three minutes into the outing when my umbrella (which i only require because i'm allergic to both the sun and sunscreen) bit me, and my gf had to run to reception to get me a bandaid. later, when i just totally fkn stacked it on some loose gravel on a slope and i got the umbrella back by slamming it into the ground, along with my knees and one palm. but not the other palm, which was holding plushie magolor, who touched neither gravel nor dirt and never will while i still breathe!

Sometimes I can't believe that neurotypical people don't get special interests. It actually makes me kinda sad for them.

Like, what do you mean, you don't spend hours engaging with something that will fill you with unbridled joy??

How do you people cope???

The Eclipse ended up being on Monday, which is my day off. The teachers posted that parents were welcome to join or it would be a free day to stay home. It didn’t work out to keep the kids home, I did make it up to the school for go time as the madness unfolded in the field. I’m so glad I made this a priority. My oldest nephews daughter also goes to school with our kids and it was just so much sweetness and soul soothe -

It was overcast and only snippets came through the clouds. We sat up blankets on the grass and had moonpies, the kiddos dogpiled me, it was epic 🌙

Fill your cup my beauties. So much love 🤘💚 xx

ohhhhmygod im gonna be sick. actually nauseous and i did it to myself - there was a spider on the countertop and i Panicked, grabbing the first distance-killer i could grab. it was a grease cleaner spray. i buried it in the stuff, walked away to recover mentally, came back

it fucking fell apart and dissolved into the cleaner. i both feel horrible and im disgusted beyond words. how the fuck do i get rid of it
