there's a chaos that reigns at the heart of this beast

More lists. Lists are good. Lists are useful. I need to stop immediately brainresonating to "dear [x], here is a list of things" every time I go to start one. But lists are good.

  • names
  • adding on to mine. i feel like i want more to it. there's a middle name i have an eye on because i'm fond of one of the diminuitives and don't hate the sound of the full thing, i just... feel silly using it and can't tell you why.

  • writing pseudonyms. i still don't mind Morgan Byrne, i just... don't know. for that matter i still like The Witchy Wordsmith as a... not penname but a writerly identity? but doing things with it is hard.

  • religion
  • how to start looking for a fitting pantheon/patron

  • if i want to make an altar when i move. how, where, and what i would do with it.

  • learning to meditate or finding a replacement for it as a practice.

  • working with connections.

  • rediscovering tarot.

  • kink
  • whether this wanting of things is a general restlessness trying to find a home or an actual desire.

  • people
  • how to learn to talk to them when i want to

  • self-care
  • mental health diary. physical health diary.

  • scents to ground with. routines to ground with. how to make them.

  • things that comfort even when hurting. things that make me laugh even when sad.

  • "it is useful knowledge for living to have a list of things that are good no matter what."

  • ways to remind myself i am worth self-care when i don't feel like i deserve it.

Names:
Do the thing! I also want to know what the name is, cause I'm curious. Also, I need to pick a pseudonym that I feel comfortable with long term, though I'm seriously thinking it is going to wind up being letters and a last name. Right now I really like S. (Sebastian) M. (Mallory) Thorne but who fuckin' knows if I stick to that or if i find a first/middle name that I really click with.

Names dude, they are fuckin' weird.

Also, I use Georgia on a lot of my work=writing things and I keep coming back to Georgia Barnes. Tell me I am being ridiculous.

Religion:
Were you looking for a thing you could move? Because I was thinking about it and if you wanted, I bet we could get another thing like what i have by my bed, glue some wood to make a base and have that be the thing you put it on. I'm clearing out the space next to the bookshelf with the clothes and the box of books, so we can put it there.

Kink:
Talk to me dear? I don't know what's going on in your brain about this one but I may be able to help? Or something? We'll see.

Self care:
Do you want a physical diary or a virtual one? A physical one might not be a bad thing, as can start making ties to grounding and whatnot with it. Just a thought
Scents, I can probably help you with, or we can hit up the mall and go to Bath And Body and Lush and get an idea of what you like for calming/comforting things
Other things...we can work on? I don't know.

And that's it, that's my commentary!

Some of these things I have some experience with. Talk/write more, if you want?
