Stuff, just stuff

Frog.

Frog, but now in motion.

The abandoned child you’ve taken in sleeps on your lap as the god who gave you immortality softly warns you. “This will hurt.”

The rock-cut out tombs of Mrya, located a few kilometers from Demre in the Anatolian region of Turkey.

witches don't gatekeep knowledge or little aids, so I hope this cheat sheet is as helpful for you as it is to me.

Just as the sweetapple reddens on the highest bough, high on the highest, and escapes the apple pickers' notice -- no, it didn't escape them entirely; they couldn't reach.

οἶον τὸ γλυκύμαλον ἐρεύθεται ἄκρῳ ἐπ’ ὔσδῳ, ἄκρον ἐπ’ ἀκροτάτῳ, λελάθοντο δὲ μαλοδρόπηες· οὐ μὰν ἐκλελάθοντ’, ἀλλ’ οὐκ ἐδύναντ’ ἐπίκεσθαι.

Im weighing in on the discourse. We need to start putting sea monsters on maps again.

Fall

i deserve to let things go, to not allow them to haunt me anymore since i am constantly changing and growing

I need to be kidnapped by kind aliens who take me to the alien vet and they know exactly what's wrong with me and they cure me and feed me nutritious meals

I would not mind being in an alien zoo with proper human enrichment.

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

oh, Sisyphus! i got you

Left the city for a bit.
