#reflection note

[dreamscapenine]

a short, incomplete note on the duality of gemini - from a gemini sun and mercury. i have always been offended by gemini getting tagged with the "two-faced" and "hypocrite" stereotypes - not just because I am a gemini sun but because I know the gemini energy, with all its subtle nuances. and the stereotypes are a very lazy attempt at slapping certain keywords to gemini without going into the depths of its nature.

limitation of my reflection: i'm both the sun and the mercury, so i don't have clarity as to how each of these planets manifest when in gemini.

what do i feel about the dual nature of gemini? i would conceptualise this duality as being able to understand something from two polar opposite pov. i often be having conversations with myself inside my head - and question my own opinions/ ideas from the other end of the spectrum. i am the thesis as well as its antithesis. i am the Ego-self as well as the Other (add: my sun is conjunct my DSC. i read a post somewhere on here about the DSC being the Other. if my sun is my Ego-self, it sitting on my DSC seems to make it my Other too, or my Ego-self and its Other are one and the same)

anyway, as for the manifestation of the gemini energy in the real world based on my personal experience: I am able to simply just get it - on a mental level - when my friends or family are having a discussion, and one party has a thesis/ argument/ point/ opinion which is the opposite of another party's. and because i see sense in both, most often than not, i end up unable to take sides.

no, it's not an imperative to take sides. but multiple factors could play into it: not having a clear opinion on the subject (i'm plagued by this quite a lot), not wanting to favour one friend over another, not wanting to disrupt peace, wanting to be neutral.. there could be n number of reasons, and it doesn't have to do with being a gemini or a gemini mercury. it could apply to anyone at all.

what's gemini in this case is this: i am able to entertain multiple opposing viewpoints at the same time. give me a topic for debate, and i could debate myself. because i understand where both viewpoints are coming from.

extras: it takes A LOT of thinking, understanding, building of thought structures, breaking them down, rebuilding them, over and over again...to finally find an "opinion" of my own on a certain topic. until then, i shall be listening to you and nodding in agreement because i really agree with whatever you are saying, then go to another person and nod in agreement when they talk about the same topic from another angle. on the inside, in my mind, i'm collecting data, i'm accepting that the truth can be perceived from multiple different vantage points - and none of them are wrong. however, i am also slowly building my own viewpoint too.. but until it solidifies, i'm keeping my mind open and staying receptive.

ps. not speaking for other geminis though. hence used the pronoun "I" instead of "we". everyone has their own unique experience - placement of other planets matter, life/past experiences matter, the culture we grew up in matter.

KIND REMINDERS 🤍

1. You are someone’s dream girl exactly the way you are right now.

We put so much emphasis on growth and getting to that “next best place”, which is fine, but we always forget that we deserve self-love as we are right now. It does not mean that you aren’t at your “best” physically and/or mentally that you aren’t deserving of love, kindness, and respect.

2. Perspective is everything

Stop stressing over that one bad grade you received at school. In ten years, you won’t even remember what teacher gave it to you. Focus your energy on things that’ll have lasting impacts. When you look back on your life, you want to see the beauty of it, not the anguish.

3. Growth isn’t linear

Don’t blame yourself for messing up. We aren’t perfect and we are bound to mess up every once in a while. Learn from your mistakes, and try to not repeat them. And if you do, that’s okay, there’s always another time. Growth has no time limit.

4. You are not a bad person

If you are sitting here constantly asking yourself if you are a bad person or underserving of love, I’m here to tell you one thing: bad people don’t worry about whether they are perceived as “good” or “bad”. Give yourself grace, and stop letting your overthinking consume you.

So much love,

A girl unfiltered 💋

shoutout to nonbinary/agender/otherwise gender nonconforming people who choose to wear cultural clothing typically associated with a certain gender!

jews who wear kippot, muslims who wear hijabs and burqas and niqābs and jilbābs and kimars, sihks who wear turbans, just to name a few!

whether you're wearing these because you have a connection to the gender associated with the article of clothing, or if you wear them because you want to challenge gender roles, or if youre just used to wearing them and don't think your gender should stop you from continuing, or any other reason, i think you all rule!!! im actually a nonbinary jew who wears kippot :] rock on!

and to those who are forced to wear these things, i hope one day you all are in a place where you can have the freedom of choice

���️reflecting on richonne

What The Ones Who Live has made abundantly clear is that finding Rick and bringing him home was a mission fit for Michonne, and Michonne alone. Because Rick didn’t just need to be brought back home - he needed to be brought back to life.

Sure, other characters could have located him and tried to rescue him from the CRM, but Rick needed more than a rescue…he was in need of a resurrection. And there’s only one person on the planet capable of doing that for him and it’s his wife, the love of his life, Michonne Grimes.

Rick is a man who for all intents and purposes chose to die because he couldn’t see her face anymore and started to believe he never would again. He was only ever going to come alive again when her eyes, her presence, her heart was back in his life. He was only ever going to be free from not just the literal but mental shackles of the CRM when he could hold her in his arms again and reconnect with the woman whose heartbeat he shares.

I love how this story stayed consistent to the message that was true in the main show as well, and that’s that Rick needs Michonne. And Michonne needs him too. Rick’s relationship with Michonne is the one dynamic in his life where he’s poured into as equally and deeply and lovingly as he pours into her. Where he doesn’t have to be anything but himself. It’s the one relationship that can bring him back time and time again no matter the circumstances.

Richonne is a love supreme because they are two halves of one heart. So saving him - not just in body but in heart, mind, and soul - it could only ever have been her. 😌

No, you're not wrong.

You're not wrong for wanting a better life for yourself.

You're not wrong for believing that you are deserving of better.

You're not wrong for making those necessary changes in your life.

You're not wrong for changing the way you show up to life.

You're not wrong for distancing yourself from those things that harm you.

You're not wrong.

ballister boldheart

ballister is shown to be gay early on into the film nimona (2023) and his relationship is important throughout the film. although ballister's race is never specified (probably due to the fantasy setting), his appearance resembles his voice actor riz ahmed, who is british pakistani.
