I took this picture at a party last weekend because I was washing my hands and thought “wow, I look beautiful !”  And that thought didn’t come because I looked 10 years younger than I actually am, or that my skin was perfect. It was because I was surrounded by people I love and that love me and I was shining. I love that I can see every past version of myself in my face. I love that you can see all I’ve lived through. Aging is a gift and I won’t take it for granted!! As per usual I’ll probably delete this picture by tomorrow because I enjoy being perceived as an immortal wizard. Feels true.

Ah I missed the mossyelfie selfie! But “I love that I can see every past version of myself in my face” what a beautiful thought to hold onto, thank you for it (: also, and I mean this in only the best way: it still takes me quite an effort to *not* read your recs or comments in Merlin’s voice (even though I’ve heard your voice in the PI.FYI field recording haha). For what it’s worth, you’re a funky wizard either which way. Whatever someone’s pfp is I always perceive them as that in my mind while floating around in online spaces (plus it helps that you’re a genuinely wise person)

@SOFTSHELLED I LOVE that!!! ahh!! You may catch a glimpse of me yet again. I'm feeling more comfortable although just blatantly having my mug on a public platform is scary as someone who has kept my profiles private for like ten years now lol

some people may freak out, but to me it's just a sign that I'm experiencing the privilege that is aging (not to say that I'm old or something lol). but when I look at "imperfections" like skin texture, fine lines, and now my grey hair, I just think about how they're just a sign I've lived, and I'm so happy to have lived as long as I've been able to so far. I can't wait to see how I change throughout my life.

Wrinkles are our body's way to document that we've lived. R u getting lines from smiling? Gorgeous. Crow's feet from laughing? Magical. I don't fear getting wrinkles from moving my eyebrows too much, either. Conveying emotion is cool, and aging is too.

A few days ago, while being high and feeling down, I confided to my girlfriend that I found it very strange that she fell in love with me as a cute little teenage boy and now I'm a weathered, elderly man. She let me know that she thinks my looks and personality have only improved over our long relationship and that I'm at the most attractive I've ever been. Gonna be riding the high of that one for a while

In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle. These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once. The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next. We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom. The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust.  The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back.  This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out.  The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy.  I’ve found that as healing goes on, just as it’s shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being. We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time.   The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow. There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of “this is what is, how can I make this work well for me?” Everything works out for The Fool because they don’t know it can’t. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow.  I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more.  The Fool doesn’t stop to worry what other people will think!  The Fool does not fret about what if’s!  The Fool is in the moment!

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
