Fuck

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK FUCK fuck

He's so fucking handsome, why can't I be only attracted to girls? Why do I have to like him? Whyyyyyy fucking him I hate him 😭😭😭

I would give anything to be just his friend. Please, think of me as a friend, as a good friend and not only as a colleague from work. Please, just let me be part of your life, let me be something else than just the weird girl you work with. I like you, it's true, I think you are absolutely handsome, but I like more the way that you talk, the way that you think, I love our conversations and I want to be your friend, that's all I want, just to be your friend.

But I hate looking at you and realizing how much I like you, and I understand perfectly why all the girls have a crush on you, I have seen them crying because they don't have a chance, and I hate it, I hate it because I promised my best friend that I don't like you and it was a lie, but she loves you so much I couldn't say the truth, that I would kiss you in a second if I could.

And you talk with me about girls, because that's what we have in common, right? We like girls and we work together and that's all. That's all.

I'm so sad and so angry and this doesn't even make sense because, why am I writing this in English if we both speak Spanish? And why am I writing this while talking to you about how much I like that beautiful friend you have? What is this? What the heck is this?

[moonshadws]

Be gentle with yourself today and every day ♡ and know that you deserve everything you want :) and eventually it will come to you, just keep investing in self love and healing ♡ I love you! You're doing great

Thank you so much for your kind words, I really really appreciate them 💕

You're a great person, thank you!

[moonshadws]

I feel so alone...

How do you just accept that you are alone and will always be alone? Because having hope that things will change is what hurts, because nothing changes...

[moonshadws]

So I might or might not have stalked my ex's twitter account and... I miss her cat :( she used to send me lots of pictures and videos of him, my gallery was full of that dumb cat I miss him so much :(

[moonshadws]

Everything in my life is going well

It’s been a long time since the last time I made some sigils. Today I felt in a really good mood and made this one 💕 in hopes it can be useful for everyone.

I saw some post about how a woman's love for another woman is "more sacred" than any other love, and I'm sorry, but as a lesbian, I don't buy that. My love for other women is very human and physical and probably nearly identical to "a male's love for a woman," and that doesn't make it any less good.

there is a tendency with history, i think, because we're so far removed from it, to kind of forget that all of the people were people

a child 10,000 years ago left a handprint on a wall. they were fingerpainting. a viking climbs up a rock just to carve the words "this is very high" 10ft off the ground. somebody centuries... milennia... ago burned their dinner so thoroughly that they buried the ruined pot in the backyard rather than attempt to clean it. shakespeare got drunk and wrote dick jokes. tutankhamun was a little boy who liked ducks more than anything. a roman carves his name into a monument in another country saying "i was here". a prisoner, centuries ago, in the tower of london scratches lines into the wall as a tally marking the days. a medieval monk scrawls in the margins bemoaning the boredom of his work.

every human being across history has said "i was here. i lived. i loved. i made something. i laughed. i cried. please do not forget me"

book dedications are so tender here is this piece of art i made for an audience of thousands. but really every word is for you

the tenderness of making a spotify playlist called ‘for (their name)’ with an emoji that reminds u of them next to it

To Help You Remember:

Wands are days, because they are fire, and fire moves fast.

Swords are weeks, because while a sword is quick to cut, it first requires some thinking on the warrior’s part.

Cups are months, because they are water, and water flows with the moon, which completes a cycle in roughly a month.

Pentacles are seasons to years, because they are seeds, and some seeds only require a season to grow while others need a year.

The timings for the Major Arcana and the Pages are related to the cards’ meanings. Once you know the meanings, you know the timings.

The Kings, Queens and Knights are the Zodiac signs’ birthdays:

King of Wands – Leo (Fixed Fire)

Queen of Wands – Aries (Cardinal Fire)

Knight of Wands – Sagittarius (Mutable Fire)

King of Cups – Scorpio (Fixed Water)

Queen of Cups – Cancer (Cardinal Water)

Knight of Cups – Pisces (Mutable Water)

King of Swords – Aquarius (Fixed Air)

Queen of Swords – Libra (Cardinal Air)

Knight of Swords – Gemini (Mutable Air)

King of Pentacles – Taurus (Fixed Earth)

Queen of Pentacles – Capricorn (Cardinal Earth)

Knight of Pentacles – Virgo (Mutable Earth)

Don’t let the mainstream sterilize witchcraft

It’s not just love & light and good vibes. 

Witchcraft is walking through the dark when the light let you down.

Witchcraft is crossing your enemies who would rather see you fail.

Witchcraft is giving yourself agency and fighting your abusers.

Witchcraft is owning who you are in a world that wants you to conform.

Witchcraft is confronting your own shadow and healing.

Witchcraft is screaming when you were told to be silent.

Hope you're doing great today, Lady D! My question's on tarot. I consider myself no longer a beginner and heading to intermediate. Any quick tips you have for someone like me please? Lotsa love!

10 QUICK TAROT TIPS

1. Court cards can tell someone’s age.

Pages are children and early teens.  Knights are late teens and early 20s. Kings and Queens are mid-20s and older.

2. Numbers can reveal someone’s feelings.

In a love reading, if the cards are all 3 to 7, the other person is not so sure about you. 8 to 10 means they are deeply invested.

3. Colors can show a situation’s outcome.

Whites and blues for clear skies ahead. Yellows and oranges for joy on the horizon. Reds and blacks, depending on the cards, for tragedy or passion.

4. The suits can predict timing.

Wands mean days. Swords represent weeks. Cups stand for months. Pentacles are for seasons or years.

5. The Major trumps the Minor.

If there are two negative Minor cards and one positive Major in a spread, the future is closer to what the Major promises.

6. Cards are influenced by their neighbors.

A normally negative card can have a positive meaning when surrounded by heavily positive ones. The reverse is also true.

7. The Fool is a Get Out of Jail Free card.

It has the ability to not only trump but cancel the energy of any Minor Arcana card that precedes it. It is a chance to restart.

8. Wands may be a warning.

In a career or a relationship reading, Wands can represent passion that is fleeting. You will need to take action to make the situation long-lasting.

9. Pentacles are a reassurance.

This suit represents stability, reliability and longevity. Receiving multiple Pentacles means all will be well. Perhaps even better than you expected.

10. Tarot is more than just cardboard.

It speaks with the voice of occult forces, whether or not you invite them. So always treat your deck respectfully, lest it hurts you back suddenly.

Scorpio Risings are bewitching. Alluring and alarming at the same time. They are intense type of beauty that not everyone can appreciate. They definetely don’t fit canon types of beauty. They are not eclectic. Whatever Pluto touches it immediately gains its intensity and rawness. If it touches your 1st House/Ascendant you are stripped down. Delicacy and neutrality are taken away from you. Luckily, Pluto always compensates for what it takes; you are gifted with amazingly strong, mysterious, sexual aura. You have fire burning in your eyes, flowing through your vains. You are the forgotten legacy of witches. You are what they tried to burn in the fire, hundreds years ago, not knowing they can’t purify something that is not contaminated in the first place. Not knowing that you can’t really burn a Phoenix because they will always rise from the ashes. Just like you. You are a powerful beauty. Don’t feel bad about not fitting into the canon. Embrace your uniqness. Embrace your fire.

I didn't want to cry today, but I couldn't stop a couple of tears from falling.

She, of course, texted me. She wished me a happy birthday. I haven't replied yet, I don't know if I should do it or not.

I don't think I'm still in love with her, but I miss her a lot... How long does it take to heal a broken heart? I don't want to keep feeling this, I don't want to think about her, I wish I could erase her from my memory...

This is the third time she has messaged me since we broke up and decided to go no contact. I don't understand her, she clearly told me that she had a new girlfriend and she wanted to do things right with her, so we shouldn't talk anymore.

It was hard, but I accepted it and I promised myself to never text her again. Well, I have done it, I have responded to her texts...

I just... I wish I had never fallen in love with her. But she was so sweet, so lovely, so interesting and inspiring... I don't see that anymore, I just see a girl that used me to feel better, a girl who only had me there while she was looking for a better option, for a better woman. She made me feel like I'm not enough, and I had to go to therapy to work on that.

10 therapy sessions later, I understand I deserve something better. Then why my heart still feels for her?

It doesn't matter.

I hope this is the last time she texts me. She wished me a happy birthday, I'll say thanks just to be polite.

I hope she follows what she said. We shouldn't talk anymore, right?

Then don't text me again, please.

[moonshadws]

Wishing you happy thoughts 💝 remember, you're important and valid :)

Thank you so much 💕💕💕

[moonshadws]

I'm sorry that recently the only thing I talk about is my break up, it's just that I want to vent...

Next Saturday is my birthday, and I'm worried my ex might send me a message about it. But, at the same time, I'm also worried that she might not message me. I don't understand my own mind! What do you want, Luna? Do you want her to message or not?

I don't want to talk to her again, I know it will only make me feel bad. But thinking that she could just ignore my birthday also makes me feel sad, because it will confirm she doesn't care about me anymore.

I just wish I could stop thinking about her, but I can't. I always end up crying, not only because I miss her, but also because I feel so... dumb for all the things that I made for her, and so betrayed when I remembered the beautiful thing she told me. Did she lie? Did she just change her mind so easily?

See? Again, everything is about her and I'm tired...

K, you have no idea how much I wish I could go back in time and never agreed to going out with you. I would think of you only as a girl who used to be my classmate, nothing more, nothing less... How peaceful it would be!

But now you are the girl who broke my heart, the only girl I have fallen for. Now I know all those tiny details about you that I wish I could forget. I know that your favorite color is purple, that your grandfather never could go back with the woman he loved, that you endured the worst times of your life feeling alone in that department, that you thought your kitten was female but actually he was male..

K, I know you favorite song, your favorite movie, your favorite book, your favorite food... Do you remember when we watched together that movie but you couldn't focus on it because you were still so flattered about the cute message I sent you with the cheesecake?

What happened to all those mementos?

I had to throw away the receipt and the napkin I kept when you sent me sushi for the first time. I still keep the pens, I tried to throw them away, but I couldn't...

I talk with different girls now, why didn't I fall in love with one of them instead of you?

I'm sorry keep talking about her, I just want to get this off my chest.

I think I prefer that she doesn't message me on my birthday. Don't message me anymore.

It's funny how we were everything and now we are nothing...

How many words I have written for you?

I don't want to feel anything for you, no love, no sadness, no hate, just nothing...

I don't even know what I feel for you anymore...

[moonshadws]

Oh doll, heartbreak is hard, and I am so sorry you are going through this. Feeling betrayed makes it even worse, I know from experience. Someone who hurts you like this does not deserve you, and I pray for you that the day you do not think about them comes quickly and swiftly. Sending you love darling, you may or may not feel strong right now, just know that you absolutely are ✨🌹✨

Thank you so much for this lovely message, you almost made me cry. 

I really hope I can stop thinking about her soon. I want to feel pace again. 

You're an amazing person, and your words really comforted me. Thank you so so much 💕💕
