I'm back from my little hiatus, so I'll start to get back into posting from now on. What happened to me?
Essentially, I'm a college student. This month has been terrible for me, due to the fact that I've been busy with midterms. They're over now, so I should be back into a normal posting schedule (meaning, posting whenever the hell I want).
For those of you who might be interested in following my main blog it's @sabels-small-sphere. I talk about non-pagan and non-witchcraft stuff there, including media I'm interested in (Splatoon, Okami, Legend of Zelda, and much more) and I also talk about my WIPs. I've been taking a ton of time to focus on those as well, so if you're looking for fantasy stories centering queer and/or black characters, feel free to follow. This blog will stay pagan focused, although I may occasionally reblog some of my writing content. If you don't want to see that, feel free to mute the #sabels-drabbles tag.
New content below the cut. It's pretty short, but I figured I'd write something new.
The gods don't care if you have a lapse in worship. As a devotee, I've always felt like I must worship the gods at all times. That if I don't somehow that makes me less of a devotee. It's one of my insecurities I'm trying to curb because I don't need to worship them all the time.
Midterms really messed up my schedule for everything. Regardless of how hard I tried, it seemed like I could never get back into a good schedule to worship or give offerings. I felt like a failure, like the gods didn't care about me because "how dare I not worship them the way a true devotee should??"
And of course, having depression just makes everything worse! Sometimes it feels like I can never catch a break.
But being on spring break this week really opened my eyes to the fact that, no, I'm not a failure for not worshipping every day. Personally, I believe that me just living my life to the fullest, gaining success in my college life, and not caring about what others say about me—as cliché as it sounds—is the best way to show my dedication and devotion to the gods. After all, what's a devotee if they're hurting themselves while trying to worship?
