The Shadow - Final Time

[chironcentaur]

All right, and now for that promised explanation. Mind is still processing things, but I still think I can share now. :-)

My initial thoughts when this first came up was that it was either Odin or Loki; the latter had flitted through my life before, and the former someone was once convinced was around me. I just couldn't figure out which. Then all

People get used to the hand they were dealt. However unpleasant it might be its the way its always been, and it can be strangely, sickeningly comfortable after a while, whether you like it or not.

Well, your life will never be dull with that bunch, that's for sure. I wish you luck and happiness :).

Personally, I always had a harder time accepting Odin. I think in my mind he was just more stern and would expect more out of me, so to speak. Though at the point Loki came in I already had Eris making appearances, so maybe I just though 'what's one more?'.

It does work out though, eventually. It might even settle down! *grin*

Good luck ^.^

And I always thought I'd be perfectly fine with Loki around. I guess you never know what you really think, huh?

So, you have Odin, Loki and Eris? Wow, that's not much better than mine. So, it does work out, does it? :-)

I have a lot actually, I'm still working on who's staying and who's just coming and going. It does work out. ^.^

which probably pretty much solidifies me on the path of the marginal outsider, doesn't it?

True. And then comes the hard part - learning to not only accept but embrace that, be happy with that as your path, rather than fighting or lamenting it.

Btw, if you want to talk to some knowledgeable people about these two gods, I would recommend wodandis for Odin and abhasana for Loki.

I have a very strange relationship with my path in life. There is much about it that I love (the freedom to be whoever and whatever you want to be, for one thing) and other parts that I don't like (the loneliness, though you'd think I'd be used to it by now). But the things I miss never become so important that I'm willing to give up the things that I love. This is where I belong and I know it; I could try to make it out in the world with everyone else but it would never work, I couldn't do it and still be myself and what's the point of that?

It would be nice to know other people on the same sort of path. That's what I've always been looking for. I don't find it, probably because we're all so anti social. :-)

And thanks. I'll probably friends those people and maybe I'll even eventually say something to them :-)
