Stalker-Predator is thus renamed: he is now Watcher-Voyeur-Follower

tryin new fangled thangs……like quitting smoking yet again but for good hopefully if i can get my body into appreciating the elimination of joint inflammation, i.e. the pain that kept me up last night and this morning…..already dealing with tendinitis and now arthritis……a most odd thing to finding myself unlocking my fingers while using certain appliances in bed….. ……and so yes, i am trying to…

No, I do not censor myself.

I do try to use good judgment and discretion, which is why you will not see photos of myself nude, or me engaging in cock-sucking or other sex acts, none of which I’ve been able to enjoy in over ten years due to depression, self-esteem issues, and working in a highly stressful, toxic environment that does not care about its employees’ mental or physical health (hence the current high work pace…

This is what I mean by dull.

And probably coked-out like junior above. He makes Amy Winehouse look sober.

The vamps will see your light + Try to eat off your plate.  Be selfish with your energy.  Shake that shit off, leaving them in the dust and debris of your yesterday. You are too precious + vibrant to be caught in any energy but your own honestly truly you got work to do!

Work this work.

The work don’t stop. The magic don’t stop. Remember this. Scarcity breeds a keen eye. In the low valley a new perspective is gained. The spirits are with you not matter the situation. Keep working until your harvest is in hand.

This.

You are a force to reckoned with. You are not seen, you are felt + the world has only seen the tip of the iceberg. The spirits continue to put fire under your ass, not as a cruel punishment—but only to push you forward into your full potential. You are creative + so powerful. Stop wasting time contemplating what you already know. Take a look in the mirror . Recognize who is gazing back at you, get grounded, adjust your crown + carry on knowing you have an ELITE INVISIBLE squad to the front, back, left and right of you cheering for your victory. You strapped up….so go make it happen.

I’d just like to add, see how they behave when they’re angry/frustrated/exhausted, and if you see something that concerns you, wait until they’re calm, and then talk to them about it.

My husband used to yell when he got frustrated, but after I explained to him that I found it upsetting, he stopped yelling and started consciously working on asking for help before he got to that level of frustration.

When I’m upset over something, or just in a bad mood, I tend to withdraw. My husband explained to me that it makes him feel like I’m mad at him, so now when I need some space, I’ll tell him what I’m upset about, or that I’m in a bad mood for no particular reason, and I need to be alone for a little while.

See your friends and partners at their worst, but don’t assume that their worst is immutable. If someone loves and cares about you, they’ll try to accommodate you to the best of their ability.

^^^^ This is the best advice I’ve ever seen on this site, and it is so important. Communication is everything, and is 80% of the reason my husband and I have such a healthy, strong, and supportive relationship.

You can't be a witch and a Christian. That doesn't even correlate to what God says in the Bible. You shouldn't be messing with spells and witchcraft which is not of the Bible at all. You're basically a satanist, people like you confuse other people about what real Christianity is! I'll pray for lost ones like you.

I like how white your version of Christianity is, and how it convenientlythrows away certain Caribbean and African religions that coincide withChristianity. These religions are considered witchcraft, but in certain casesare accepted by the Catholic church. For further information, I’d googleSanteria.

Also, as a Christian I don’t really trust the Bible. I understandthe meaning behind it, and have been taught to read in between the lines, butto never take it very literally.

The Bible is man’s word, not God’s word. At least not entirely,it’s been altered over the ages, by man, to adhere to certain groups ofindividuals.

It’s not how it was originally, so I don’t look towards it forabsolute guidance.

I look to God, not a book. Not anymore.
