Anxiety Masterpost

First of all, fuck the stigma.  Anxiety is a real thing and dealing with it can be incredibly difficult.  If you are just like me and millions of others around the globe and deal with anxiety, then this post is for you.  We’ll get through it together.  Here are some of the things I’ve found helpful in dealing with anxiety.

Crystals

Blue Lace Agate - Blue lace agate is amazing for encouraging open communication of your feelings and emotions without getting flustered. It also has a really soothing energy that can help diffuse stressful situations. This is also a beautiful crystal, so it makes for really awesome jewelry.

Lepidolite - Particularly good for navigating complex transitions and building trust, compassion and acceptance, this stone is a favorite of mine.  This is seriously one of the best mental health stones on the market - it can help bring balance and will aid you with PTSD, addiction recovery, anger, despondency, and pretty much anything else.  I probably recommend this stone once a day.

Black Tourmaline - Black tourmaline acts like a black hole for negativity. From negative energy to self-deprecation, this stone will absorb all of the bad and help you replace it with positivity. This stone is particularly effective against panic attacks. Also helps with fear, especially ones brought on by a scary environment.

Rose Quartz - Ah yes. The love stone. Of course, that’s an oversimplification, but it’s still a fairly apt description. Rose quartz will help foster a sense of self-love and acceptance. This is great when paired with a stone like black tourmaline - allow one to absorb negativity and the other to put off positivity.

Chrysocolla - Typically associated with communication, knowledge, and expression, this stone is also really powerful for helping increase contentment and calm anxiety that can arise from seclusion or introversion. It’s a great stone for those who deal with emotional stress, feeling trapped, or being uncomfortable in your own skin.

Blue Calcite - I keep this stone on me at all times (I have it combined with black tourmaline on a necklace, actually). Blue calcite is great for communication, so if you find that your anxiety keeps you from speaking up, this may be the stone for you. It is incredibly soothing, and aids in silencing all of the self-doubt and mental ruckus that can paralyze your thoughts and words.

Aquamarine - This stone is great for those who struggle with the burden of responsibility. It also proves really useful for overcoming judgements, both others and your own. I’ve found this stone to be exceptionally useful for gaining closure in situations where you may otherwise not be able to get any.

Herbs

Lavender - The most common and famous herb for stopping anxiety.  Great for anxiety attacks, especially at night.

Wolfsbane - Don’t eat it.  Or burn it.  Or anything like that.  Because it’s toxic. But it is really useful for people who have really sudden bouts of anxiety attacks.

Ginkgo - Ginkgo has been used in Chinese medicine for millennia, and works by raising serotonin and dopamine levels while helping the brain control the release of cortisol. Basically makes happy hormones and helps produce a healthy level of stress hormones.

Valerian - This herb is known as nature’s valium. Valerian will help you calm down even in the most overwhelming circumstances.

Passion Flower - If valerian is nature’s valium, Passion flower is nature’s serax. It was commonly used by the Native Americans.

Ginseng - Ginseng is pretty useful for treating a huge variety of ailments, both physical and mental. Anxiety is no exception.

Arctic Root - Like Ginkgo, this herb is great at targeting the neurotransmitters in your brain.

Oils

Lavender - Promotes restful sleep and calms the mind.

Rose - Helps relieve the stress of shock or grief, and helps foster a loving mind.

Vetiver - This is particularly useful for those whose anxiety comes with an extra helping of sensory overload. Calms down overwhelming situations.

Ylang Ylang - Combats anxiety by encouraging a courageous mindset, and can help with insomnia.

Bergamot - Probably the brightest scent here, this oil will have the same effect on your day as bursting open the shutters of a dark room to let in the sunlight.

Chamomile - Known for its powerful anti-insomnia properties, chamomile works by helping your brain let go of all of the negativity and stress it has been hanging onto all day.

Frankincense - Frankincense is a great oil for grounding yourself. If you deal with a lot of stressors and need help stepping back and putting them all in perspective, then this will help you immensely.

Teas

Chamomile Tea - Ah yes.  Sleepytime tea. Mmmm.

Gotu Kola Tea - I cannot boost this tea enough. Just try it. It is a famous tea in many Eastern medicine traditions, and has even been called the Fountain of Youth. Great for increasing happiness and contentment, as well as decreasing stress and anxiety. If you ask me, this is the most effective stress relief tea of any out there.

Lemon Balm Tea - Lemon balm tea has actually been used to treat anxiety for hundreds of years. More akin to mint than lemon (though it has a subtle but undeniable citrus flavor), this tea is perfect for unwinding and relieving stress-related headaches.

Green Tea - Despite the fact that it has some caffeine in it, green tea actually isn’t that big of a stimulant. It helps “slow down” your brain, so that you can get a respite from the hammering of anxiety.

Holy Basil Tea - Another tea popular in the East, this tea is known for helping with depression and feeling overwhelmed with everyday life.  A cup in the morning will help keep a positive outlook the rest of the day!

Jars and Spells

I have several anxiety-related jars and spells that I will be posting over the next few weeks, and will be regularly updating this master post to reflect those.

Please - if you know of any additions to this list, feel free to add your own suggestions!

i fully support people being able to vent

but i also firmly support a person’s right to say “hey, i really would rather not hear this right now” for any reason, so if you ever don’t want me to mindlessly ramble about how much my life sucks PLEASE feel free to tell me because i strongly think that helping someone deal with their problems should be VOLUNTARY

One of the most satisfying experiences I know is just fully to appreciate an individual in the same way I appreciate a sunset. When I look at a sunset … I don’t find myself saying, “Soften the orange a little on the right hand corner, and put a bit more purple in the cloud color” … I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch it with awe as it unfolds. It is this receptive, open attitude which is necessary to truly perceive something as it is.

Trigger Warning

While I as a survivor of various types of assault/harassment and as a survivor of multiple suicide attempts appreciate that #13ReasonsWhy made the unpopular choice to show in graphic details the rape scenes as well as Hannah’s ultimate suicide. I can understand why it might make others who also have gone through those things upset.

These kinds of situations are so delicate…and every person processes healing and moving through them differently. Not every body is healed enough to be able to handle those kinds of triggers…and even those of us that are healed “enough” (there’s is no real cap on healing…there is no definitely arrival…only momentary states of being…of peace. And over time those moments become more frequent and last for longer…hopefully) we still don’t necessarily want to be reminded….

I closed my eyes during every one of those scenes….i bawled my eyes out for hours after i finished the series….it shook me up and brought up wounds i thought were healed a long time ago…..

The reality is: None of us are taught how to deal with this shit….we just hope to God it doesn’t happen to one of us….but when it does.. When an earth shattering, soul crushing moment reduces you to truly believe you are nothing more than a statistic….

You’re left stumbling blind…in the dark. Because for a while.. For a LONG while you aren’t able to see the light around you….

And trying to sort through everything going on inside you…feeling like your soul is coming apart at the seams…and then trying to find help, that feels authentic, genuine, lasting…..that’s not even a little bit EASY….

You’re drowning in an invisible sea…hoping for someone to notice you drowning because your voice is too muffled by waves of emotional upheaval and your throat is too choked up by all the secret thoughts you are having that you’re ashamed to even admit out loud to yourself.

No one prepares you for that…nothing can truly prepare you for that…

But that’s why shows like this are SO important! They force all of us “potential bystanders” to really understand the importance of taking a true look at the people around us.

A REAL look. Not a quick look at someone’s FB page or Instagram where we can find a plethora of statuses and posts and pictures that we use as anecdotal evidence that the person is fine…that there’s no need for us to do the courageous thing and reach out to them…support them…help them fins resources.

You’d be amazed how many of your friends are currently in domestic violence situations….have been contemplating suicide for months….are still trying to find healing from the sexual assault/harassment they experienced most likely at the hands of another mutual friend….most likely in the presence of you and your group of friends…..

Its important to have these conversations because these tragedies are not decreasing in frequency….on the contrary, these tragedies are on the rise.

And it’s leading to so many wonderful beautiful souls making the choice (the only choice they feel is a valid one) to take their own lives.

Social media has made it so easy to dissociate from the bystander role that we so often, unconsciously, step into when our loved ones need us the most.

And we don’t want to admit that we notice our friends and loved ones are slowly drowning around us because that’s a tough pill to swallow…no one wants to admit that we are afraid to have that conversation…no one wants to admit that some times we don’t know how to help our friends.. And sadly it’s often at times when they need us the most.

There is a societal level of shame…that has been birthed in our silences…in our “innocent bystander” masks that we wear… Our society has been in denial about it….probably since the beginning of time. But social media exacerbated the symptoms of that denial…the amount of pain and loneliness felt by those wounded loved ones, hidden in the shadows of our denial…

We cannot afford to be in denial anymore…it is literally costing lives

So whatever we have to do to get people to be willing to talk about these issues

No matter how awkward or uncomfortable the conversations may be…i think at this point its become a necessity to be this raw about it….because it’s killing us….and not so slowly anymore

And while i understand this show is too triggering for some who are still healing. I think it is important that those of us who are…and those of us blessed enough to have no personal situations that can help us relate to these types of tragedies….it is important for us to do so….

Because when you realize the interconnectedness of us all…the importance of taking the time to REALLY see people….you will find clues of how to help them…support them…love them…

I will never forget the day a random customer at my work went and bought me a small treat after a random…short…seemingly insignificant conversation we had.

They could never have known i wanted nothing more than to die that day….but they saw me…and loved me…by way of a delicious blueberry muffin….

And they will never know that because of them…i went to bed that night…for the first time in months….not wishing to not wake up.

You never know what small seemingly insignificant act of love will do for another person…

It may just possibly breathe life back into them.

Never thought i’d make it to 25 and yet here i am 12 years later 5 years later 1 year later And i’m still kicking….and amazingly….genuinely happy to be alive

[divinity-embodied-blog]

At this time the veil between the material (3-D) and non-material worlds (5-D) is very thin. The word that i am given is actually translucent. With that cosmic context, it is making it much easier for us to see situations for what they truly are, rather than what they were touted to be (or what we hoped for them to be). Divine truths and information are coming in VERY quickly. Almost instantaneously. You may not even have a chance to meditate on a situation before an instant knowing about the situation comes to mind. Some may experience rapid epiphanies coupled with the ability to quickly integrate this new information into our daily lives. In other words: we are beginning the process of embodying our Higher selves. THE MUSHROOM As we becomes more in tune with our individual energetic signatures, we will find many changes in perception. In our family dynamic, our work situations, within our relationships. You may even begin to see how these situations were either the opposite of what you once perceived them to be, or a mirrored experience to something we went through or something we did in the past. 4 OF COINS At this time our higher selves are working to get us to recognize the areas in our life where we are holding on too tightly. Perhaps you hold onto your toxic job. Maybe you are afraid to spend money on yourself for things other than "essentials". Or maybe you just can't let go of the idea that money is always in scarcity for you. Your higher self wants you to understand that when you hold onto these things or beliefs....you are not trusting the divine. You are not trusting that you will be provided for. You are not believing in your worthiness of abundance. This applies to relationships as well. Once you recognize these 3-D templates of "poverty consciousness" running in your mind, you are being given the opportunity to release them. A kind of mental deprogramming so to speak. The secret to all this is that, these beliefs are actually energetic blocks to the abundance that the divine has in store for you. ACE OF WANDS Once you let go of these false perceptions of yourself; once you release these blocks, you open yourself up to receive what the divine is trying to give you. New beginnings are right around the corner for you. You've probably been feeling it for quite some time now. And the synchronicities have probably been almost overwhelming. This is just your higher self letting you know that these beliefs that you are feeling guided to re-evaluate and let go of...this mental space that you are in is exactly where you are supposed to be in this moment. You are approaching an energetic space of "point zero". From there infinite possible new timelines (directions to take in life) become available to you. Think of it as an energetic clean slate. But to get there, you must release what is no longer serving you. So be encouraged. Questioning your fundamental beliefs may feel scary unsettling, or make you feel emotionally unstable. But in all actuality stability is a kind of illusion. Everything is always changing in some way. But if you embrace the change by releasing your energetic tethers to the past. These shifting energies will actually work in your favor.

General Energy Reading (I) pt 6

Q: What is the core issue that is being addressed at this time?

VI The Lovers (major arcana)

VI The Lovers:

your current situation is the catalyst that is meant to set you on the path back towards remembering divine love. unconditional love. which cannot be found in relationships with others. it must be found within ourselves first. our societal expectations, our ancestral heritage, our core beliefs often come into direct opposition with what unconditional love is. and when we are meant to be a vessel for divine love, meant to help break down the templates that have been built up against divine unconditional love, we will experience “mental break downs”. because our soul is trying to get us to move from a mind led approach to love into a heart centered approach to love.

For the supplemental cards I was guided to see them as two perspectives. the two cards on the bottom represented what this situation had to deal with in the 3D perspective. While the top two cards represented a way to perceive this situation from a higher “5D” perspective.

Queen of Swords & 4 of Cups:

From the 3d perspective, it may appear as though you feel you are constantly being prompted to cut things, jobs, situations, and people out of your life. You may even worry that you will develope a reputation of being cold-hearted or quick to judge. The Queen of sword definitely has the reputation of being cold hearted. She is even often interpreted as the Divorce Card. But there is a secret that she is clued into. She understands the importance of setting boundaries. She is able to recognize how important and vital it is for her to truly evaluate what/who is worthy of her time and energy and who is not. What is deserving of her attention and effort, and what is a waste. Where she is appreciated and where she is not. This is one of the first and biggest steps one will take when they are on the path of self love. (but remember, there is no “destination” on this path, and simultaneously being on this path IS the destination)

For those of you who have being fulling this urge to cut things and people out of your life. to let go of situations and relationships that no longer serve you, and yet feel hesitant. Spirit wants you to consider this perspective with the 4 of cups:

If you hold on to everything, even what no longer serves you. How can you make room for what you do want? In letting go, you show to the heavens and to yourself, that you trust that you will be provided for. You believe that you will receive exactly what you need and want. That you believe that you deserve what you want.

7 of Pentacles & 9 of Cups:

Some of you have been feeling stagnant. Almost like you are supposed to wait for some magical tide to turn and bring you everything that you want. perhaps you have even started planting seeds of change, but feel as though the harvest is taking too long to materialize.

The reality is, that you are so focused upon what you do not yet have, that you are unable to recognize what you do have. The 9 of cups is all about emotional fulfillment. Have you noticed how the people who are grateful for even the “small” things in life, seem to receive even more of what they want? those who are in a space of gratitude will attract to them more things, situations, and people, that keep them within that grateful mindset. Not that they don’t experience hardships and heartache. they do, but they recognize those situations as an opportunity to learn, and grow. instead of viewing it as a situation that is taking something away from them, they see that it is bringing something new to them.

Message from spirit:

When you are able to recognize that every situation, every encounter, every relationship is an opportunity to learn. when you acknowledge that everything you experience in this life offers you something in some way. you will never feel in lack...and it is in that state that your heart’s wishes will be granted. not by some magical genie or unknowable higher power. You are the one that grants yourself your own wishes. because you are divine in nature. when you stop seeing everything as something happening to you, and start seeing things as situations that you have co-created in order to learn something... you will never feel powerless. you will never feel like you are playing a waiting game. You create this reality, and it is time that you wake up to this truth.

some topics i would suggest many of you to research:

The Law of Attraction

Co-Creation and the law of abundance

Poverty Consciousness

Victim Consciousness

Ancestral Healing

Karmic Debt

If you have any further questions please feel free to message me here. I would be more than happy to help you shed some further light onto your specific situation. 

All readings i do are by donation. no particular amount, just whatever you feel led to give after the readings have been done.

But remember, you have all the answers you need within you.

Thank You

Many Blessings

Namaste

Growing up I thought that the hardest thing would be to create a life that was comfortable and safe…

Society definitely makes it seem like if you don’t follow the rules you will end up struggling and miserable.

But honestly i think the hardest thing in life is making the choice to let go of what feels safe and leaving the “comfortable” situation (aka the “familiar” situation) and allowing yourself to make room in your life for something more fulfilling, more rewarding, and more authentic.

If we are being truly honest here, a safe life rarely makes one feel fulfilled. The comfortable job or relationship hardly ever allows one to feel free. Nor does it allow you to grow and expand as an individual. To see what all you are truly capable of.

Your lake may be quite beautiful and safe but the river is what will take you where you want to go.

If you truly believe you deserve to have (and CAN have) the life that you want…you will not allow yourself to settle for: comfortable, familiar, or the safe choice.

In reality life will constantly remind you that the idea of being “safe” or “comfortable” is an illusion. Change is inevitable and life will use change to bring about uncomfortable, scary, and even painful situations as a way to get you to recognize this. Only then will you understand the importance of choosing what you truly want in life. Life is too short to pursue anything less than that.

If you are afraid to pursue that, then there is one very important question you need to ask yourself:

Why do you believe that you do not deserve to have the job, relationship, or life that you want?

General Energy Reading (I) pt 5

Q: What is the best course of action, or some words of encouragement?

10 of bones (rider-waite equivalent: 10 of wands)

in numerology 1 denotes a new beginning, a new cycle, new lessons. because it is a 10, however, it can be interpreted as moving on to the next tier within a lesson. almost like graduating into the next class where you will learn new things than build on the past karmic lessons.

in this pictures you see a man imagining himself taking on this mountain lion. however you see no weapons on him. he is not standing in a protective stance. he has his arms open wide and is in a stance that denotes surrender, as though he embraces his fate.

in the rider-waite deck you see a person gathering their wands. the phrases “gather your strength” and “take back your energy” came to mind while holding these cards.

many of you are coming out of situations where energy vampires (clinically termed narcissists) were involved. you gave and gave and gave to that individual be it a lover, a parent, a boss...but they never seemed satisfied. you would argue with them and try to reason with them, explain your side of the situation, but it never seemed to get through to them. it was like they couldn’t even hear your. 

i will tell you a secret, when you are operating on a higher frequency than another individual (as most empaths do) and try to impart information to them that they do not yet resonate with, they will be unable to hear it. and it will be impossible for them to integrate this new concept into their life.

this situation is teaching you that there is a season for fighting for someone to see the truth, and putting much of your energy towards helping another...but that season is over.

you are better of surrendering to the fact that this individual is not one who can be reasoned or compromised with. you are better off removing yourself from the situation and not putting any more energy into this relationship. direct all that energy towards nurturing and loving on yourself.

Supplemental Cards: 5 of pentacles, 2 of wands, page of wands

5 of Pentacles:

initially when you finally start to take back your energy, and reclaim your power you will feel lonely. left out in the cold, as though you are missing out. Narcissists are really good at appearing as the life of the party, and making people who have cut them out feel as though they are missing out on all the fun. But if you are truly honest with yourself, then you will admit that even when this person was in your life, you felt lonely, left out in the cold, not truly apart of their life, of their world. because the world of a narcissist is all a facade. their entire sense of self is a mask because they are empty within. they have lost touch with their true self, and are completely run by their ego. the magnetic pull between narcissists and empaths is very fated indeed.

2 of Wands:

once you finally understand that the was the best decision you could have made for yourself, you will be open to thinking about what kind of connections you wish to have in the future. what kind of life do you truly want for yourself no longer focused on what you don’t want to happen (and unintentionally manifesting that) you will now focus on what you do want. the world is your oyster and you get to decide what roads to travel. As you take back your energy you can put it towards planning for the future that you have always wanted.

Page of Wands:

all of this is clearing room for new energetic lessons in equal exchange. as an empath we attract narcissists into our lives because of our lack of boundaries. so our interactions with them are typically unbalanced. where we give and they take and there is no even exchange. these connections serve as an opportunity for us to learn and understand the importance of setting and maintaining boundaries. Sometimes they come into our lives just to offer us opportunities to stand up for ourselves. that is the lesson we needed to learn. to say “no more!”.

Message from Spirit:

recognize the importance of boundaries. having healthy boundaries is an important fundamental step towards self love. it is important to recognize when we have a lack of boundaries. and recognize when people are disregarding them. how you react to either situations is revealing to you how much love you believe you deserve from yourself. you deserve unconditional love from yourself. and you will not find it with anyone else until you have truly found it within yourself, for yourself.

Natural Remedies for Anxiety, Depression etc

Having anxiety can feel so debilitating and make one feel powerless. While that is not truly the case it can definitely help to have things near you that can help lessen the effects of your anxiety or panic attacks

This is by no means a full list, but rather a list of remedies i have personally tried thst have actually helped me:

-CHAMOMILE TEA: helps to calm the nervous system

-LAVENDER: whether in baked goods, added to bath water, or even used in incense lavender is known to have calming soothing properties. Very good plant to keep by your bed side. Can be used in oil diffusers as well. Also helps with insomnia.

-AMETHYST CRYSTALS: associated with the third eye chakra amethyst is a good crystal to keep on you. It promotes clarity of mind and can help remind you not to let your mind wander when dealing with stressful situations

-RED JASPER: associated with root chakra. This is a good stone for grounding when you are not able to go outside or be in nature during an anxiety attack.

-SAGE: whether as a bundle or an essential oil sage is just all around great to have in the home. After i have had a very stressful week or a panic attack i like to sage my bed room and the whole house. Get all that stressful energy out of there.

-FENG SHUI: rearranging furniture in the bed room and living area can definitely help with anxiety and stress. Sometimes having things the same way for months can make a room feel stagnant and uninviting. Moving things around changes the energy of the room and keeps things fun and exciting. Even something as small as changing your bed sheets every few weeks.

-HOUSE PLANTS: having living plants inside your home is always beneficial. (Now if you have pets, make sure the plants are not toxic to your animals if they happen to eat parts of them) succulents, Aloe Vera, and cacti are much easier to maintain than some other plants. Making terrariums for them is also quite soothing and therapeutic as well as relatively cheap.

-BATHS: now not all of us may have access to a bath tub but whenever you have an opportunity to take a bath DO IT. Especially if you have had an anxiety episode that same day or sometime that week. I like to put chamomile tea bulbs in the water. Lavender essential oils, epsom salts etc. Make a day of it. Have your favorite soothing music playing. Drink some wine. Read a book. Do whatever you feel you need to do while in that bath. You’ll be so thankful you did.

I hope you find these helpful. And are able to incorporate some of them into your daily or weekly routines.

Remember you are stronger than you think. But even if you don’t feel that way that is okay. Just know you are safe. You are loved.

please feel free to add to this list as well. We are all in this together. I love you all very much! ❤❤❤

General Energy Reading (I) pt 4

Q: What is spiritually/energetically contributing to this situation?

XIII Death (major arcana)

you are going through a spiritual death. you no longer resonate with your surroundings. social constructs no longer make sense to you. this is the core of the dark night of the soul. helping you to detach from everything that society, family, friends, and even you have placed upon yourself that is not true to who you are. your ego, in attempts to protect this sense of self you have created, is trying to fight against it. but this is a fight your ego is meant to lose.

Supplemental cards: strength (major arcana), 10 of swords, 5 of cups, the magician (major arcana)

VIII Strength:

what comes through with this card is a feeling of sickness, whether it be physical or mental illness.  as your ego is fighting these new concepts you are being presented on a spiritual level, your physical body is feeling under the weather. while 8 represent infinity, this coupled with death brings to the forefront of your mind your physical body’s mortality. you are hyper aware of the reality that you will not live this life forever. it will come to an end. you may experience flu like symptoms but go to the doctor and they find nothing wrong with you. you may find your depression or anxiety is out of control. you are fatigued, unable to sleep at all or can sleep all day long.

10 of Swords:

for those of you with anxiety you may find your mind is constantly racing at night. you are unable to get a good nights rest, and when you do sleep you are plagued with vivid startling dreams. your fears and worries make you feel pinned down. Unable to move forward or make a decision. I’m also getting a message for a certain individual that you may be feeling as though everyone you thought you could trust, that you could depend upon is now stabbing you in the back.

5 of Cups:

with matters of love there seems to be a theme of change. with the 5 again in seems that many emotional relationships are going through a major change. and there is a sense of mourning. friendships have fallen apart and dissipated. you have recently become single, perhaps not by choice. there is a heaviness to this card. a relationship has died. perhaps the passion/spark is gone. it is time to cut your losses my dear. the lessons have been learned in this partnership and if you turn around you will see the divine has a new partnership waiting for you. but the most important partnership you will have is the one you have with yourself. 

I The Magician:

This card seems to apply to every situation mentioned. your higherself wants you to know that this is all happening because you have manifested it to happen. that may be hard to hear, but in reality we are co-creators in our life and we manifest situations into our life in order to teach ourselves something. and right now you have manifested a major energetic ending in your life because there is a HUGE new begining on the horizon. Have faith. Trust the process.

Message from siprit

You may not remember this, but you chose this path. you picked these events. what is playing out in your life right now is divinely guided. everything that is happening is for your highest good. it may seem scary, it may feel uncertain, but it is necessary for you to shed these things from your life, these people from your life that are no longer helping lead you towards your highest good. there is a season for everything. and right now you are coming to the end of a season. but do not be dismayed, be excited. for endings bring new beginings with endless possibilities.
