Banish by Laughter
Don't take life too seriously. Don't make being a Vampyre your sole identity that it drives you down a hole of misanthropy, nihilism, and self-destruction. Enjoy the little things. The smell of a misty morning on a morning walk, the sound of birds and squirrels, and the cackling of your inner witch.
Be the hag that rides her broom of a lover's bone. Be the chaote that spells a cat only to find out the cat actually put a spell on you. Feed on the laughter of your work crush, and dance in the rebellion of punk rock and modern pop.
Eris offered us the Golden Apple so we may taste of sweet discord and create shenanigans. Monkey Prince stole the Jade Emperor's Peach so he may taste the nectar of the Immortals, and because no one could stop him any way. Do it, whatever it is, because you want to not because you were told or expected to.
Be like Eros. The lover, the romantic, the permiscuous. You can still hold firmly to your core values and find joy in your hobbies and still be a Vampyre on a path of transformation or a wizard on a path of initiation. You are not bound by any set of rules or regulations you are uncomfortable with or find bothersome.
Just because you don't follow the rules doesn't mean you are a bad person. Some rules are for safety while others are for control. It is up to your inquisitive mind and self expression to decipher your rules of engagement from those of conformity and social mundanity.
