solstice / sol ✸ 24 ✸ she / her ♐︎⨀ ✸ ♊︎☽ ✸ ♍︎↑

hello and welcome! :)

i'm solstice, and i like writing and reading poetry! i'm particularly inspired by mysticism and magic, the human experience, the range of human emotion, metaphysics, actual physics, and just about everything that has and ever will exist in the universe <3

i am also an avid tarot reader and have been reading since 2020; i also love crocheting, baking, playing dungeons & dragons, my friends, blackberries, sleep token, love, and being human.

if you like what you see, i hope you stay! otherwise, i send you off with my best wishes and hope that you find yourself someplace that brings you closer to who you are— in music, in morning coffee, in early hours of twilight, or elsewhere <3

hello friend !!

thank you so much for your kind wishes and for thinking of me <33

i've been doing alright ! just trying to sorta break out of the box of the image—or persona, i guess, would be better to say—that i've built on this blog, by taking some time away from here

still writing, though, i promise ! just on a different blog, under a different name, with a somewhat different style (but feels so much more like me); maybe you'll find me out there somewhere :>

i won't be sharing which blog, just because i'd like to build something much more foundationally secure for myself on there, if that makes any sense; plus, i quite like how quiet it is over there right now, so forgive me for gatekeeping, so to speak :'^)

i log back into this account every now and again, but i'm not sure yet what i'll do with this blog or its sideblogs, if anything. i've considered just making this one a place to put typography of work i've read / am reading, but there are a lot of associated emotions and memories that come back up each time i log back in. it just doesn't feel like me anymore, if that makes sense. you could call it shedding the past and starting new, i suppose !

I heard talking and communication are keys.

Do you want us to talk directly?

I know you are going through a lot and I don't know what is expected of me.

I just think it would probably be for the best if we just rip the bandaid off and VC or just DM as we probably should have. I understand if it is unfeasible or if you don't really think it is the best right now.

I just want to you to know that it is going to be okay, whatever outcome you desire

i think it would be best to rip the bandaid off in any situation, but in this particular case, i just want you to know now that if you're expecting something consistent from me, you're very likely not going to get that. i promise you, it's not you, because, admittedly, i do this to everyone i know and have ever known (like i have SO many unread tiktoks and dms from friends)

i don't say this to put myself down or anything, it's just i want you to have a realistic idea of what interacting with me is really like, especially so now because, yeah, i'm definitely processing through a lot of stuff currently :')

i was wondering if i could get a tarot reading? i’ve been making some big decisions recently and i wonder if they’re going to set me on a positive path. i think these are so fun! keep doing what you’re doing :)

even without tarot, i can very confidently say, with certainty, that if you made those decisions with the fullness of your heart, out of honor and respect for yourself and others, with the intention of being open and the goal of expanding / learning, and if you think it'll make you happy, then you're on the right path.

big decisions are SO fucking scary; fucking props to you ! i of course don't know the specifics, but if you can look towards the future with optimism, then i think you made the right decision. even if it might be something that sucks in the short term, but you know you'll be happy in the long term (e.g., picking up a new skill, starting recovery, putting yourself first, etc etc), or even if, later down the line, something ends bitterly or doesn't end the way you wanted it to.

one thing leads to another; something bitter could later become sweet, and vice versa, but i guess what i wanna say is that, no matter the outcomes of your decisions, you'll be alright. you'll be on the path you'll need to be on, and to me, every path is a positive path, as long as it leads you back to yourself ! so i say, instead of wondering or worrying what the future'll be like (very hypocritical of me giving this advice i wanna admit, i've been wondering about the future too much lately), take some time to pause and look at where you are right now, take stock of who's in your life, what's in your life; what's in front of you that makes your heart full? identify something concrete. i'll do it if you do it (i've been doing it this whole time LMAO).

and then go tell them, if you're thinking of a person. or give them an extra treat, if they're a pet. or a place on your shelf, if it's a memory. or a rewatch, if it's a comfort show. and so on and so forth you get it lol
