Genie ThoughtaliniMay 2023 Do you have any suspicions? Do you sometimes feel things are aligned in a certain way for a certain reason? I go back and forth between feeling there is so much meaning and order in how things play out in my environment, to throwing my arms in the air and embracing the chaos and madness. Not to attempt to convince you or push a belief system, but more and more I feel there is some system or energy behind events. Whether it be a God, Karma, a Simulation, something feels as if it is always pulling me forward on a certain path. This could be me coping with the unexplained, and I can accept that. But sometimes I like to let myself be swept into the magic of fate, the wonder of odd connections and synchroncities. This applies to negative experiences as well--I try to imagine they are showing me something I must learn to move forward properly. If you think back on your life, either the good or the bad, do you see patterns or connections? Do you ever get a tingle in your bones when some coincidence happens? I like to lean into those moments and enjoy them. I think as long as we aren't imposing that on others, or placing our full faith into one explanation (this goes for anything!) it only brings a positive energy to the small moments in our day-to-day. Everything is basically unknown, I think navigating through the world with an open mind and enjoying our perceptions while accepting they may be distorted is truly the ideal path (this in itself being a belief system lol). Taking a moment to connect with our instincts or fanciful and playful moments of wonder is one way to make that path more interesting and enjoyable. Let yourself feel the magic, even if it's just for a passing moment. |
Community UpdateThe winds of change are a-blowin~~ Starting at the end of this month I will be a FULL TIME LIBRARIAN. I don't know my hours yet, but I will keep a regular streaming schedule. My estimation is Monday regular retro request stream (12-6), then new schedule may include Tuesday or Wednesday morning (6-10am), Thursday or Friday night (6-11PM) and perhaps a Sunday daytime (12-6). So a total of 3-4 streams/week plus I'll be hanging in discord obviously. I'll know more soon! It's going to be a shift, but I'm hopoing not too extreme. It may take some time to adjust and get the new schedule in a flow like we have it now, but I think it will be a positive overall. I will keep the kofi newsletters/playlists/etc going, I don't think there will be much of a difference in content beyond the stream schedule. I will miss spending my days with you, but hopefully you can adjust with me and take advantage of adapting your own new routine. I'm wishing you all new opportunities and paths in your life, it can be scary but also invigorating. |
