my secret is that im studying to be a witch! and everyone close in my life is like ... *aren't you already?* and while yes i am known for witchy things and tendencies: i mean that im actually pursuing Curanderismo actively. And so i keep it under wraps because it makes me uncomfortable for others not to understand that i mean something very specific and serious. I imagine one day I'll be able to talk about it and be confident enough to express the reality of it to me (or not care)-- but like im already uncomfortable in a whole new very important spiritual discipline that's been actively persecuted for centuries, you can miss me with all that rn, yk?
Also i might be able to make this one!! it sounds incredible <3
I think it is very cool for you to be studying in that particular tradition. I have previously considered the path of studying Chinese medicine or of focusing on a Chinese spiritual tradition, but I think my own personality has a bit of a fear of specializing. Like, Buddhist monks and nuns seem cool, but it takes a lot of devotion to commit your whole life to the sangha, and I prefer to straddle multiple worlds. Or at least that’s the justification I give myself. Maybe I’m just a coward. 🤷🏻
"it’s bad to read while supine": have you heard of prism glasses, to read while laying down?? my dad gas neck pain and uses them to read stuff.
No, and I will have to try them!
