Cain and I still aren't on speaking terms. I don't know what else to try. Talking to him feels like talking at him, nothing like it was just a few weeks ago. I assumed communication would get better over time, not worse. Are we in a slump or is it really getting worse?
Cain has been silent for a while now. I narrate to him whenever I can, but it feels like I'm talking at him, not to him. There is nothing. According to some reassurance I got on TDF, it seems to be a common occurance and nothing to worry about. Still. Hope to hear from you soon, buddy.
I know, I know I've let you down
Fairly new dæmian culture is feeling guilty you keep forgetting to reach out and interact with them. It was so easy at first, but then something happened that disrupted your schedule, which threw off interactions and you’re still trying to get things to stabilize
.
Feeling this! I had a very stressful time at work and I feel like it drowned out any interactions we could've had. The comforting thing to know is that your daemon is always there if you need them, even if you guys don't actively talk.
Got a cute little pin for Cain!
I got a pin of my lil bird Daemon too!
Your post was the thing that actually inspired me to get one for myself too, haha o<o
Northern Cardinal
Things that changed since meeting Cain: I've stopped saying "Kill me", "I want to die" and "I hate myself" in my mind. I've replaced them mostly with "I'm tired, Cain". While still negative, I feel like I'm sharing these thoughts with someone who understands instead of shoving them deeper and deeper inside me. I've put more emphasis on my health and moving around more as a result. Not directly caused by him I think. Still, before that I was in an awful slump regarding my physical (and mental, let's be honest) health. I don't talk about my feelings with other people, but I do talk to him and that's better. He knows what I mean immediately, I don't have to stumble over my words and try to explain my (often quite convoluted and ridiculous) inner turmoil. That saves time and we can immediately move on to solving the problem together. I can't imagine not having anyone to talk to in my head anymore. Even when Cain and are not actively talking to each other, I know that he's there and that alone is comforting enough. We actually haven't talked much in the last two (hellish) weeks, but I imagine that we will as things calm down work-wise. There were a few moments where I was losing my marbles, and while he couldn't prevent it, we got through it together.

they have a cardinal illustration! what a cutie

borb is my new favorite word. worb.
tumblr is the only place that im honest, how do you tell your instagram followers that you just saw a bird that changed your life? they are soulless on that app, they dont give a fuck
Form finding
ive been browsing the TDF for a few days (well, the sections that are open to visitors at least) while waiting for my activation email. (anyone have an idea how long that usually takes..? ive even contacted the admins already)
currently, the analytic form that fits me the closest would be the angel shark. it doesnt really have a full analysis on there (and the attached image is some kind of ray? the original is here and actual angel sharks look more like burnt pancakes) and im not 100% feeling it, but ive combed over most other analyses and there's always one thing that doesnt fit amidst an otherwise very fitting form. >:/
id love to venture further into the analytic form finding topic but again, thatll have to wait until i can log in and talk to the people on there
i still want to keep the cardinal around as a comfort form because it really was the very first ray of hope that actually solidified my attachment to daemonism. (and yes, i was very disappointed that the analytic version doesnt fit me)
cardinal, my beloved

You'd be better off finding your daemon. Why? Because daemons are typically built for this; this is their specialty. They exist already as a part of you! They've lived your life, seen your struggles, and understand who you are and where you are coming from. They feel everything you feel, see everything you do, and know everything about you. They know what you need.
Another benefit? They can be their own unique individual while still remaining intrinsically tied to you, your life, and your well-being without the risk of being incompatible or your self-interest not aligning. Daemons are a part of you, so they go with the flow of our life without wanting major control or influence. Two sides to the same coin. A feather attached to the wing...
Another nice thing about daemons is when you aren't interacting they merge right back into you. They continue to exist just as they did prior to separation and will continue to be there until you call again. The less you interact the rustier the connection becomes, but you don't risk losing them. They may come back with new personalities or names if a long enough time has passed (because *everyone* changes with time, daemons are no exception) but they are still your daemon.
They still are there wanting the best for you. Wanting you to succeed, to thrive, to survive. They are our built-in support systems. Before creating and hoping to influence a headmate to be the answer, look into meeting your daemon first. See if they can provide what you need. Besides, it's often a far easier process than creating a fully separate headmate from scratch (in my opinion, at least).
