#rose’s diary 𓂃۶ৎ

i think it’s very important to be at least be a little playful with your own religion. feeling comfortable and safe enough in your own faith to have fun with it is genuinely so, so important to me. it takes some of the pressure off of always ‘getting it right’. and besides! i like to think that the gods really do appreciate the trust we place in them when we allow ourselves to be truly ourselves, with all our vulnerabilities and flaws, in their presence.

don’t get me wrong; reverent, formal, ceremonial, worship is beautiful!! but so is being able to drop all formalities and just talk to your deities… telling them everything that’s on your mind when you need to, or maybe when you’re just too overwhelmed to worship more traditionally. it’s about being able to pray formal hymns and prayers at their alter (if that’s something that feels right for you), but also feeling comfortable enough to simply reach out and talk to them as if they were an old friend or family member that loves you dearly.

cultivating balance is so important for maintaining a healthy relationship with your religion! so just make sure you don’t forget to actually enjoy your practices. at the end of the day, worship should feel fulfilling, whatever that means for you. ♡

i’m like if misty quigley and van palmer had an illegitimate child who was raised by laura lee and lottie matthews. no, i will not elaborate.

i strongly believe that you do not have to be “experienced” to post about your religion or practices. you are allowed to share your thoughts, and your beliefs, and the things that are important to you regardless of how long you’ve been practicing.

the important thing is to remember that everyone’s practice is unique and there is no single “correct” way to practice when it comes to worshiping the gods. don’t let yourself fall into thinking your beliefs and practices are the “right ones”. if they feel right to you, they are…but that doesn’t mean they’re right for everyone else. be kind and respectful to paths that are different from your own. every person alive has at least one thing you could learn from them.

i don’t know who needs to hear this, but your art doesn’t need to be “perfect” or “beautiful” to be a wonderful offering!! i seriously do not care if your illustrations are literal stick figures of your deities; if you’ve created it out of devotion for them, they will cherish it. your dedication is beautiful, your intention is beautiful, and the time you spent with each pencil or brush stroke is beautiful. your deities love and adore the art you’re creating for them no matter how you think it looks, i promise!

finding the laura lee to my lottie or the natalie to my misty would fix me, i think

the rain is tapping against my window as i read mistynat fics and sip my coffee…this is the perfect day, actually.

it’s 4am and i haven’t slept and i’m writing my grief and my anger into the angstiest mistynat fic ever.

i’m not sure if this is helping, but i am sure misty is spiraling more than nat for once.
