DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

[khaire-traveler]

Hey there!! I wanna start Free Writing to feel more connected to the Gods, and I feel like I would do it best to music without lyrics..do you have any suggestions? 👀

Khaire, Nonny!

Sadly, it took me a while to find things that weren't AI slop. The following are all real artists and such. Links go to YouTube! Here is a list of suggestions:

Orpheus Odyssey - Legends on Strings (Kithara instrumental)

You're Studying Like in Ancient Greece

Ancient Greek Music - The Lyre of Classical Antiquity

Ancient Greek Meditation Music (one of my favs)

1 Hour of Healing Music With the Ancient Greek Lyre

Michael Levy - Ancient Lyre (playlist)

I hope you find this helpful! 🧡

Virginia Woolf, "A Writer's Diary"

[justadifferentteen]

Childhood...

Why can't things be like they used to be?

We were carefree children,

came to see our cousins in the summer,

played outside until it got dark,

made up games,

explored and found secret hideouts,

swung high on swings,

ate whatever we wanted,

fell asleep in the car and our parents carried us to bed.

Our friendships were pure, unbiased,

we were friends when we were kids,

now we're not.

What happened to us?

Perhaps it was time, distance, experiances, new opinions.

Perhaps it was something else.

All the same, I miss you.

I miss when we were carefree children.

~ Just a different teen ~

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ Step 1: Decorating ⊹˚₊･

I believe that the cover of your diary should reflect who you are as a person, since it is something personal to you. Design your cover with things special to you, like stickers of your interests and a cover with your favourite colour on it. To add a bit of whimsy, I sugguest getting a physical diary, more specifically one with a little key lock on it! Getting one with a lock will also help you keep your diary private, especially if you have younger siblings who love to snoop like mine. Below I'll list some ideas of things you could add to the cover of your diary for inspiration ⤵⤵⤵⤵⤵ <3

♡⃛ 𝙿𝚑𝚘𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚘𝚘𝚝𝚑 / 𝚙𝚘𝚕𝚊𝚛𝚘𝚒𝚍 𝚙𝚑𝚘𝚝𝚘𝚜 ♡⃛ 𝙻𝚊𝚌𝚎 / 𝚛𝚒𝚋𝚋𝚘𝚗 ♡⃛ 𝚂𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚎𝚛𝚜 ♡⃛ 𝙶𝚎𝚖𝚜 / 𝚏𝚊𝚞𝚡 𝚙𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚕𝚜 ♡⃛ 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚚𝚞𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚜 / 𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝚕𝚢𝚛𝚒𝚌𝚜 ♡⃛ 𝙿𝚒𝚎𝚌𝚎𝚜 𝚛𝚒𝚙𝚙𝚎𝚍 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚖𝚊𝚐𝚊𝚣𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚜 ♡⃛ 𝙶𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 ♡⃛ 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚍𝚛𝚊𝚠𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜 ♡⃛ 𝙵𝚎𝚕𝚝 𝚌𝚞𝚝 𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚜 ♡⃛ 𝙳𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚙𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚕 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚜

Need more ideas? Pinterest is always a great place to look! As always, this is your diary, so fill the cover with things that you like!

Step 2: Introduction ✩♬ ₊˚.

Now that you've got your diary all dolled up, I sugguest adding some get to know you pages! This is a great way to start your diary because diarys keep track of all your emotions and your life, so in 20 years when you re read it you'll know exactly how old you were when writing, and what you liked during this time period! In my diary introduction page, I included my favourite songs, what I was manifesting, my goals for this year, and a list of my current friends and crushes! Below I'll list some more ideas of what to include on your about me page ⤵⤵⤵⤵⤵ <3

Need more ideas? Just thing of stats or facts about yourself that could potentially change by the end of your diary! You also don't have to include an about me page only at the start of your diary, you can make a new one every few months! And ofc, you don't have to add one at all if you don't want to!

Step 3: Entrys⋆.𐙚 ̊

Finally we're at the part everyone's been waiting for, tips for diary entrys! This part is what stumps most girls, you open your diary, write the date, and then you have no idea what to write about. It's not as hard as you might think, you just write any parts of your day, exciting or not. You can include your thoughts on things that happened today, what you thought of todays Love Island episode, or even just what you ate for breakfast! And don't forget, your diary is a safe place to let out any emotions, opinions, and feelings, and you don't have to lie or not include any information that you want to put! The only one judging you is yourself! As always, start every page with the date and a fun title, and I'll leave you some promps below! Happy writing! ⤵⤵⤵⤵⤵ <3

I love to end every diary entry with questions for my future self, affirmations, and stuff I hope to achieve this week! Don't forget to fill your diary with little doodles, stickers, and decorations! I hope some of these ideas make their way into your diary, and as always, happy writing!

Marks

They speak of life as a black-and-white reel, where they wanna force you into the dark, demanding that you bow to them.

Do not listen; it is all noise, meaningless noise.

They want to shut you out because you do not fit their agendas, their control crumbling because of who you are.

But the ones remembered, the ones who change the world as we know it? Never fit in, never. They are the ones who sang when booed, who broke the silence demanded of them. Who write when the pen was stolen, who loved when the world chose to hate them; they held their heads high against it all.

You matter, you are more than the noise, more than the hate, more than the heavy fist of dictatorship, more than you will ever know.

It is never about a label. It is about being you, what you believe, who you love, what you cherish; it all matters.

Why choose to be normal when you were born to be you?

Everyone has a story to tell, to write, to hear, to read. A lesson to teach, a lesson to learn, a dream to reach.

Make your mark, whether big or small, whether positive or negative; that is not the point.

You do not make a mark to fill a history book, but to know thyself. Your mark shows you who you are, who you were, and whom you shall become. It is about touching lives, including your own.

You may never know the mark you leave, nor the quiet ways you save another, or even yourself; it is not about knowing; it is about being, being you.

Being you is the most natural and beautiful thing in the world; you are a miracle; you are a mark and a story waiting to be heard.

Intuitive Free Writing

What is it?

Free Writing is a method used often in writing in which someone writes, without worrying about spelling, grammar, etc., for a certain period of time without stopping. I see this as a form of meditation because the point is to not make any judgments about what is being written and to instead just let things flow. Intuitive Free Writing is then just using this method to access your intuitive abilities, and a potential form of divination.

(This is not automatic writing, in which a spirit physically interacts with you so that you don't have any awareness of what is being written. You are not channeling a spirit, you are connecting with your intuition)

How to do it?

Here is how you can do it:

Supplies: Grab a notebook and pencil or whatever you are going to write with. Include a timer if you want to set a time limit. You can also type it, or record yourself speaking if you prefer that.

Environment: Set up in a space where you will not be interrupted and have nothing distracting you, as if you were going to meditate. It can be quiet or with instrumental music (avoid music with lyrics at first, but you can experiment with this later), or incense.

Evoking: This is an optional step for if you want to use it to communicate with spirits. Handle this how you normally would, with protections, offerings, and an invitation to the spirit you want to talk to. You can use a divination tool to confirm their presence if you wish.

Centering: Ground and center yourself in the present. You want to get into a receptive, lightly focused state or as close to it as you are able to manage.

Initial Writing: I usually start writing something intentional to get the ball rolling such as "I am listening" or a greeting to spirits or just rambling whatever comes to mind consciously. The point is to get started, get in the flow.

Keep Writing: Write everything that comes into your mind or awareness. Don't try to control or make judgements about what is being written, i.e. don't worry about spelling or grammar or interrupted thoughts. Just write down whatever you receive, whatever thoughts come up. If you smell chocolate, write that. If you feel dumb or uncertain, write that. If your mind is blank, write that. Write what you think, what you see, what you feel.

Stop: When the timer goes off, or when it feels right, stop. Usually, I will ease out of things by consciously writing the last bit, this is often a thank you to whomever I have contacted, but can also be first reaction to the experience.

Read: Read over what you've written. You could highlight areas of interest: this could be sensory observations, thoughts that seemed to come out of nowhere, shadow work areas, emotions, etc.

Recopy: Optional extra: if you want to clean up what was written, or even copy it into a separate, tidier notebook, then feel free to do so! I have a separate cleaned up notebook, and I also sometimes take a moment to clear up what a word I wrote is because I have messy handwriting.

Reflect: Write a note on your experience. How did you feel? Did you sense any energies? Did any thoughts or words seem to come from outside of you? Did you notice, in the moment, that something felt different when you wrote a certain word or phrase? Perhaps next time you could mark these moments as you write with an asterisk*

Grounding: You can also take a moment to ground yourself, or any kind of transition back into daily life.

Additional Notes

It may take time to get comfortable doing this and, if using it as a communication method, to develop discernment. Because of the nature of this method, it is very easy to mix up your conscious and subconscious thoughts with messages from spirit. Follow up important messages with other forms of divination or by getting readings from others. Be a skeptic - not during the writing process though, only after.
