i need daniel to be overcompensating for his insecurities so bad. 100 times more cocky and rude and aggressive and insensitive than he was as a human, falling back into old dangerous habits and vices, not just because now he has new energy and power and wealth to flaunt but because it's ALL he has, and he needs to cling onto it. play it up and revel in it so no one sees that underneath, he feels like a botched fledgling in the body of a sick, faded old man who maybe has no real idea why he was even made. that armand might think he failed in making him. that his maker didn't even really want him.

If you ever feel alone, unseen and useless, remember this: we touch the lives of people, even strangers, in ways we're not even aware of. You have no idea of the type of impact of your smile, a nice word, a nice gesture may have on the people you're mindlessly giving them too, be it on the daily (like eg. the employee at the market you usually go to) or once in a lifetime. You have no idea how much comfort you're sharing and how long that person is gonna keep your memory in their mind and heart. You have no idea you're being fundamental for them, even if for just a moment. That single moment may change everything for them.

Maybe one day you'll randomly meet again that person and they'll let you know how much you mean to them and how good you did for them. But even if not, please never think bad of you, never think you're not doing much and nobody cares about you. Many more people than you realize keep you and your memory dear in their heart. Please remember this everyday. You're important, more than you can imagine.

BEING COMFORTABLE ALONE

Learning to be okay with being alone is a process that requires both self reflection and action. It's important to understand that being alone doesn't necessarily equate to loneliness, but rather, it can be an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery.

EMBRACE SOLITUDE

This time alone can be used to explore your thoughts and feelings, understand your motivations, and consider your goals and aspirations. This introspection can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself, which is a key to personal growth.

FIND A HOBBY

Engage in activities that you enjoy and that foster creativity. This could be anything from reading, writing, painting, gardening, cooking, or even learning a new skill. These activities not only fill up your alone time but also help in boosting your mood and providing a sense of accomplishment.

FINDING INDEPENDENCE

Cultivating independence and self-reliance is another significant step in being comfortable with being alone. This involves learning to do things by yourself, from daily chores to making important decisions. This independence can boost your confidence, reduce feelings of loneliness, and make you more comfortable with spending time alone.

SOLITUDE= A BREAK

View solitude as a mental health break from social pressures. In our increasingly connected world, being constantly surrounded by others, both physically and virtually, can sometimes be overwhelming. Time spent alone can offer a much-needed respite from these social pressures, allowing you to recharge and refresh your mind.

Remember, being alone is not about isolation or loneliness, but rather about self-discovery, creativity, independence, and mental health. Embracing solitude can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience.

I was not meant for this busy world and this hook up culture , I was meant to love and to be loved on a deep level

Something something about the cursed mummy working at a rodeo and the connection to lassos and wrangling bulls and foreshadowing. Something something about buck wearing a moustache when he dresses up as billy boils which connects things to Eddie.

How rodeos are connected to Texas in the general psyche. The idea that Eddie needs to go and wrangle with his bull in the next episode - Helena.

That she has been constantly trying to Buck him off but he needs to hold on in order to break the curse she has been on his life - the play on Buck being a massive support to Eddie - that gives him the strength to stay on and win the fight and pen the bull.

That he needs to break free of that curse in order to transform into his true self and how the werewolf is a representation of that happening and also a foreshadowing for the shaving off of the stache

Growing up with emotionally immature parents brings you to self sacrifice. You start hiding your true feelings, dreams and even parts of who you really are in order to not disappoint them and how they see the world and what's better for you, but also to save yourself from possible negative/harsh feedback and abuse in general.

You grow emotionally distant from yourself, and you keep this distance out of habit also in your adulthood, where you carry shame and self hatred for these parts of you, unable to see their beauty and uniqueness.

Try to come back to those parts of you, to stop banishing them: they aren't wrong or scary. They are also a side of you that need love and appreciation, no matter what you were made to believe or if you had to keep a distance from them to save yourself. You can come back, you can change. And you can ask for help too.

Don’t stay tethered to the past just because you want it to last. 🌈

“Normal” is such a ridiculous concept.

[im-madam-baby]

Now, I really don't care about the past, the people who have left—let them go. And as for those I've chosen to walk away from, it's because I choose peace for myself and my mind. I choose to move on from those chapters.

The Art of Sacred Self-Care: Nurturing Your Inner Empress

Welcome back to Empress Essence, where we continue our journey of self-discovery and empowerment. In our last blog post, we explored the essence of feminine energy and the importance of embracing our inner Empress. Today, let us delve deeper into the practice of sacred self-care—a cornerstone of our journey towards embodying our fullest potential.

Honoring Your Temple: Your body is a sacred vessel—a temple that houses your divine essence. Treat it with the reverence it deserves by nourishing it with wholesome foods, movement, and rest. Practice self-care rituals that honor your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Whether it's a gentle yoga session, a nourishing meal, or a soothing bath, prioritize activities that replenish and rejuvenate your body.

Cultivating Mindfulness: In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to become disconnected from the present moment. Cultivate mindfulness as a means of anchoring yourself in the here and now. Take time each day to pause, breathe, and tune into your senses. Whether it's through meditation, mindful movement, or simply savoring a cup of tea, allow yourself to fully immerse in the richness of each moment.

Embracing Ritual and Ceremony: Rituals and ceremonies hold profound significance in honoring the sacred within and around us. Create rituals that speak to your soul—a morning gratitude practice, a full moon ceremony, or a sacred space for reflection and intention-setting. Infuse these rituals with meaning and intention, allowing them to serve as potent reminders of your connection to the divine.

Setting Boundaries: Boundaries are essential for preserving your energy and maintaining your inner harmony. Learn to discern what nurtures your soul and what depletes it. Set clear boundaries around your time, energy, and relationships, honoring your needs and priorities. Remember, saying no to what no longer serves you is an act of self-love and empowerment.

Cultivating Creativity: Creativity is a powerful expression of feminine energy—a force that flows through you, inspiring innovation, beauty, and growth. Engage in activities that ignite your creative spark—whether it's painting, writing, dancing, or gardening. Allow yourself the freedom to play, explore, and express your unique essence without inhibition.

As we conclude our exploration of sacred self-care, I invite you to incorporate these practices into your daily life with intention and reverence. Remember, nurturing your inner Empress is not selfish; it is an act of profound love and devotion to yourself and those around you. Embrace the art of sacred self-care and watch as it illuminates your path towards wholeness and fulfillment.

We invite you to share your own self-care rituals below, and stay tuned for upcoming  community events focused on sacred self-care practices.
