⟡ Journal Entry 03 ⟡

I’m officially starting to run out of animal documentaries that I like on Netflix, I tried watching the Animal episode about apes but the noises apes make kinda bothers me so I’ll watch when I’m more high energy. I’m making a list of animals I really like/maybe are kinsidering and I think I’ll post it later. I feel like a faker for having SO many ‘maybe’s but shrug.

I left an alterhuman discord server I was in and I was pretty upset about it but I’m looking for a new one now, I don’t wanna dwell on it much. I think I really yearn for a sense of community here, it’s hard to talk to my non-kin friends about being alterhuman even though they are supportive. I guess that’s why I have this blog!! <33

I’m going to set up an altar again. This is a huge step for me and my acceptance of my spirituality. I won’t bore you too much with the details but my interactions with catholicism and christianity have made spirituality very hard to accept. I spent so long arguing against those beliefs that it seeped into my perception of spirituality as a whole. I’m glad I’ve realized this, and I can tip toe my way back into what’s made me feel safe and confident in spirituality again.

The fun stuff: I’m putting lots of little trinkets with the altar, oils that have certain meanings and just smell good for me, a fake candle, and lots of sea related items! I’ve found I have an EXTENSIVE collection of sea related items like shells and rocks. Huh. Weird sjhdjdhs. I also cleaned out my old apothecary section and some old herbs and jars frim the last time I was spiritual that I just don’t connect with anymore.

Ive been watching so so many documentaries. My favorites are Animal, Our Planet, Wild Babies, and Night On Earth. I’ve learned mostly about big cats, bears, so many sea creatures esp octopus, foxes, wolves, and birds of prey!

I’m making a lot of ocean themed kandi today while watching even more documentaries. I’m going through my stuffed animals storage to take out more that are fitting my current interests. I might post pictures of some of them!!

I’m still having a lot of hard feelings with labels and the otherkin community rn, I hate having to choose a label and the idea of misusing one or spreading misinformation is really spooky.

Also on the agenda today, I’m redoing a couple sections of my room. I reorganized and put some old spiritual/witchcraft things back out on my dresser and I’m trying to cleanse and get back into the swing of things. It feels really good! I have a lot of dice (my favorite trinket to collect) and crystals/rocks out with some favorite stuffed animals and figures that make me feel comforted. I’m following a lot of witchcraft blogs and tags too so if anyone has recommendations :>

Created my own February Journal prompts with mixing and Matching Prompts from various lists. Can't wait to see what I learn about myself this month. Ever changing.

93 days (give or take a few days in between) of journaling. I'm shocked I kept it up this long! So proud of myself.

I'm enjoying discovering myself. And how my brain works. It's something new for me since writing is non-existent right now.

Creativity is something I crave and writing even more so.

My drawing skills could use some work but I've never been much of an artist. I don't have that natural ability. But I love my hand writing.

Spent some of New Year's Eve setting up my journal for January. Decided to do a song Challenge for this month. Trying to keep up with journaling a little every day. So far it's been a thing even if I have a day or 2 to catch up.

Will be nice to see this when the journal ends. I started it on November 1st.

November's challenge was things I was grateful for.

December was all my favorite things.
