Hello!

I cleared out this blog to start fresh. I have been on Tumblr for over 10 years but I never really posted consistently, mostly just a lot of liking stuff.

I would like to make this a more active space, to share thoughts and interact with people.

My main interests include:

Books

Writing

Art of all kinds

LGBTQIA+ community and history

History in general (mostly BCE)

Languages and Linguistics

Be kind <3

Reincarnation

Reincarnation is an old concept with various rules for how it would work. This is just my take and thoughts.

It would require the soul to exist parallel to the body, to detach one the body has died, to be assigned a new body.

It would be unlikely the soul would be ruled by a sense of location. The likelihood of ending up in the same area should be slim. One in 195 chance of it even being the same country.

Then there's the idea that every creature has a soul, then the chance of ending up human twice, would be much less likely. A one in literally millions chance.

And then, if the soul is not bound by location, then it probably isn't bound by gravity either. So it might not even end up on the same planet, if other planets are able to support life, which is very possible.

And then there's time, if time is not linear, then that shouldn't be a limiting factor either...

(These are just random thoughts on the subject, because it's fun, not personal beliefs.)

So, lullabies.

I have been doing some reading on lullabies (mostly the old and creepy ones) and it's super interesting.

The main goal is getting a child to sleep, yeah? It didn't really seem important if it was achieved by soothing or scaring the child, though for the most part the melody is often soothing even if the lyrics are terrifying. Some of them were not even intended as lullabies to begin with.

I have also noticed differences between lullabies from colder/northern countries, and those from warmer climates.

If you feel like it, could you post the name of a lullaby from your country in the comments? Maybe one you have heard yourself growing up, or one you know is still in use today? It doesn't have to be a scary one! I would like to compare them by culture and location.

This is for research for a book I am currently working on.

(It's also baffling how we went from beautifully written songs with pretty melodies to, well, Baby Shark. Which isn't really a lullaby, I know)

((..No hate on the Shark family, but that one kinda melts my brain.))
