you can absolutely read Frankenstein as a horror novel about the fear of parenthood, at something that you labored over nearly to death being born hideous, being born at all, being something you did not intend on creating, on it not being what you meant to create, on having something that learns from someone other than yourself, something that has its own thoughts and desires and life beyond you, and it is so, so, so vital to Victor's character that he does not, in fact, ever give his creation a name.
the energy and naturally everything in my life started to flow easier when i recognised that I was placing the blame on everyone but using that as a scapegoat for not changing anything in my life
learned helplessness and victimhood is a subtle predator of the subconscious ! deprogram that shiiiiii and remember how much power not only that you ‘have’ or ‘hold’ but that you are !
i hope that in 2025 u get to take more walks, read more books, connect with more people whom u love and who love u, achieve ur goals (even if ur goals are having no goals and just living in the moment), exercise fun hobbies, move from a place of self-direction, and weave together a beguiling assortment of beautiful little moments. remember that no feeling lasts forever. love u

virginia woolf's 1931 new years resolutions : "to have none. not to be tied. to be free & kindly with myself. sometimes to read, sometimes not to read. to go out, yes—but stay at home in spite of being asked. as for clothes, i think to buy good ones."
Whats something interesting you learned this year?
That you should live each moment of your life as if it were eternally there, fixed in memory, in another dimension. Not as if it were fleeting. I say this because time is not a concept, time is what we are. Even butterflies are made of time. Time is the universe. But humanity has divided time into objects, concepts, and categories. We have invented clocks, calendars, pendulums, etc all so that we can grasp our own existence. The month, the hour, the minute, the second, it’s all so comforting because it is our way of participating in the universe. But the future does not happen, the past has not happened. Everything is here. Right now. And the body knows it.
2025 Forecast: - please care deeply for you spleen & liver, taking care of these two will take care of all the other parts of you, mental & physical. drink hot water only & drink ginger tea when you can. - Beware of regression & reverting, our systems, money's & governments are embodying these words boldly but we must not. - do new things, do lots of new things, in the biggest ways & in very small ways. ask your friends & family to hold you accountable, ask them to join you in these new things. - look at the stars more often y'all. we need to be reminded often how small we are, what vastness lives outside of humanity, here in these moments lives humbleness, gratitude & wonder. we need more of these feelings right now. learning constellation is a great hobby to take on, to learn constellations is to learn yourself <3 - never forget your tears are a form of offering, so cry y'all. cry. calling in a calm 2025 ... bless y'all 🌸💕
