This is so cool I will definitely be participating this year :)

31 Days of Hellenic Polytheism

Anyone can participate regardless of how long you’ve been a Hellenic polytheist! My hope is to use these questions to reflect on the year, and repeat next year to see what has changed, and hopefully to continue doing that every year!

Answer in as much or as little detail as you see fit. You are allowed to skip any questions that you are uncomfortable answering. These questions can also apply to heroes, not just deities. You can pick specific deities to answer each one, or answer the questions with all the deities you worship. This might apply to other Pantheons and I’m happy for it to be used as such. Feel free to tweak some of the questions to fit those pantheons if you’d like!

Please link this list on your posts with your answers so that it is easy for others to find if they want to participate too after seeing your answers.

THIS IS TO BE DONE DURING DECEMBER, I’M JUST POSTING THE LIST NOW SO PEOPLE CAN FIND IT!

Have fun!

DAY ONE: Who was the first deity you began worshipping? Do you still worship them now? If this has been answered before: how has your worship changed since last year?

DAY TWO: Which deity did you most recently start worshipping? Were you called to them or did you reach out first? Do you think there were specific reasons behind why you were drawn to them?

QUESTION FOR THE IT-GIRLS

Hello it-girls!

I love everything you are doing, which is where these questions are coming from. I know that girl is in the name, but can I be an it-boy? I'm a transguy, so I'm not really welcome in a lot of the male self-improvement spaces, and even if I was, none of it is what I'm interested in, you know? I just wanted some people's opinions on this.

Thank you! - Star

Wonderful News!

I am actually completely and utterly over the crush of doom! It turns out that if you insult someone enough, that person starts to resent you! Anyway, I might actually yell at them during band today if I get called stupid or an idiot.

October 21, 2024 | oh gosh what a day

11:55 AM | so far so good!

Today has been pretty good so far. I got out of bed a lot faster than I usually do which I'm very proud of. My morning alarm is set for 7 AM but usually, I take about 20 minutes to actually get up. The fact that I cut that time in half this morning is really impressive. Right now I'm at the public library enjoying my second period free. Although now it's actually lunch time. I'll probably give myself about 10 more minutes here and then I'll walk back to school. Normally I eat lunch with the crush I'm recovering from (we are gonna call the Crush of Doom, or COD (I am in fact sitting here giggling)) on Mondays. Typically I ask them what room they are eating lunch in and then I join them but today I'm not going to join them. When I get to school I'm going to buy my lunch and then go see if I can eat in my math teachers room. If I can't then I will most likely send a very frantic text to my friend to see if I can eat with them.

2:11 PM | I love my friends :)

Whoa, future me! My math teacher's door was closed, so I went and ate with my friend, which was seriously the better choice. We were laughing so hard that when the bell rang, I was struggling to walk down the stairs. I really do love my friends.

6:46 PM | this is the part where I try not to freak out

So....uh. Everything feels terrible right now. I know that that's not the case but we love emotions! I had band after school and the longer the class went on the more and more upset I became. You know the coffee in the photo? Yeah, I drank that on an empty stomach.... anyway so my stomach was hurting. I ate a really sad sandwich for lunch which didn't help at all. I was in pain and apparently it was noticeable enough that COD asked me if I was okay !!twice!! They really are a great friend which is why I feel so bad about my feelings. Other thing that happened was they said something that made me want to cry. It was said with good intentions (I think) but they were a little aggressive about it which I hated.

I also feel bad about the food I've been eating so I'm going to make a little list of healthy foods I like as a little reminder for myself :)

cucumbers

lettuce

mushrooms

bell peppers

avocado

cooked spinach

cooked broccoli

cauliflower

Swiss chard

chives

strawberries

raspberries

blackberries

cooked onions

cherries

corn

tofu

carrots

peas

watermelon

tomatoes

INTRO PAGE PLEASE READ

Hello and welcome to my new and super cool blog! You can call me star and I generally use he/him pronouns. I'm in high school so please be aware of my immaturity. This super cool and awesome blog is for my self improvement journey! It's also dedicated to Lord Ares.

Why am I going on a self-improvement journey? Because I feel like ✨shit✨. That and I am currently grieving and trying to move on from a very unhealthy crush I have had on a friend. It was borderline obsessive and wasn't healthy for me or them. I think I've been really obsessed with relationships recently, which would usually be considered normal for teenagers, but mine has been, as I said before, obsessive and unhealthy for me and everyone involved.

So this blog is for me to work on myself and record my progress, and then hopefully, someday in the future, I can look back on this blog and see how far I've improved! It's a really exciting idea :)

I am going to do my absolute hardest to tag everything appropriately and put warnings at the top of every post if I think there is something there that could harm someone.

Now the less fun part: rules

This is my blog and account. I am in charge of the content I see and interact with. If you do not agree with the things I like or the things I post, then block me.

Any hate, bigotry, or bullying will be tolerated. I will delete things, I will block people. You get one chance to not be an asshole before you are gone.

DO NOT INTERACT WITH THIS BLOG IF

You are over the age of 25, you post p0rn, you are pro @n@, you are transphobic or homophobic, you post purposefully triggering content, you are unaccepting of other people's religions, and you lack critical thinking skills.

PLEASE INTERACT AND BE MY FRIEND IF

you are under 25, you are also on a self-improvement journey, you are a cool little queer person, you are interested in theatre or classics, you are a Hellenic polytheist, you are kind!

My tags cause that's a really cool thing I see people do!

Star reflects -> my super awesome reflections on myself, my life, and my beliefs. These may be sad, they may be happy! That's the joy of reflections :)

Star motivation -> motivation for me or you to live your best life

Star is funny -> my silly little posts/reposts that I found funny and want to share with you ;)

Okay, that's all love you bye!
