how to change the world and (really) mean it

Feb 02, 2010 04:56

when I was in high school I hated all the career-path drama that filled senior days, the endless questions directed at sorting you into your box. no-one knows who they want to be at seventeen. well, almost no-one. even though my career aptitude test verified it as one of my top three careers, I didn't know how to say out-loud at that age, "I want ( Read more... )

what I already am now doing, I must admit to myself, this is my way of being a Priestess
I came to this realization last year and it was the most freeing thing I have ever done. I present myself to the world as a writer, no matter what form that writing takes, and that is my way of honoring the Gods.

*HUGS*

*hugs* it's wonderful to know that there are others out there who also honour the gods in the way they are called. it seems like a theme I see building among some of my friends and it makes me very excited to be where and when we are.

Amazing and congratulations! I hope I too, can stand up for what I believe in and be a person who calls it like I see it.

Thank you. I think you can... and will. I look forward to you doing it. I think you will be a force to be reckoned with. :)

I am glad you have found your calling. I know we disagree about the name of our God. I love you and agree with most of your ideas don't think you should accept slack from anyone. If we just let people say whatever a ignorant things they want to say and not correct them, then are we any better by letting the ignorance continue. I have lost a few friends by refusing to lie and by refusing to accept stupidity but I am proud of the life I lead and I'm glad to have you as my friend and to not be alone.

Thank you. I must resist the urge to quote Romeo about roses when it comes to God, but you know... :) I recognize you as a fellow woman of wisdom and servant of deity. I love you too and I am glad for the company and support.

Just when I think you cannot be any more awesome, there you go blowing my mind.

I seriously respect your need to be yourself and admire you for it.

I also tend to stumble upon these kinds of statements years later and find them fitting... This happened recently, I may have to ramble at you.

awww, thanks. ^_^

thank you. it's hard to commit to, to step over politeness and be honest without hiding behind humility. I still haven't got the hand of it but I will figure it out (yes, I mean hand, lol). I thought I'd start with a declaration, both to myself and to the world. it seems a lot of my friends were growing, or continuing to be (and I never noticed) quite conservative and pigheaded while I was becoming more and more liberal and progressive. it's very tempting to not say anything in front of them, but I'm committed to standing my ground and getting rid of the useless this year.

yes, it's almost like at certain points, a precognitive sense of clarity fills your words with what appears like babble at the time and then years later seems to be eerily synchronistic. lol... I think I've started the rambling.... I need to go to bed, we should ramble later.
