I was structured once. Disciplined.
Now everything falls apart. I can’t keep it all together.
If I wasn’t so upset about this I would laugh at all this surrealism that has become my life.
But I really can’t.
All I can do is to hold on to all my memories in hopes of a new and better tomorrow. Where I am more like myself and less of a this… husk I am now.
Husk devoid on holyness. Devoid of purpose. Devoid of purity.
Is there any hope for me at all?
What it’s like to be angelkin for me.
I constantly feel like this is not my place to be, not my body to be in, not my life to live.
~
My back hurts when I try to straighten up my shoulders, when I get shifts and truly feel how weak my human body is for an angelic soul.
~
I always get stares from everyone I walk past. People see everything, they just don’t want to admit the truth.
~
I feel dirty and unhallowed all the time, I feel all the dust everywhere in this world. I can’t stand it so I clean myself and everything around me.
~
Even in the dark room I see the glow somewhere. Inside or outside, everywhere or nowhere.
~
When I look at the fluffy clouds, feel the wind touching my skin, I miss something I never saw.
Welcome home
I wish you’d said
But there’s no home for me
Not in the clouds anyway
On the ground
With the rest of the lowly humans
That’s where I belong now
Hello hello! Seems like I make these long posts more often!! I have received numerous amounts of questions asking for self care advice, so why not make a post about it?! This is just a broad post, really, so maybe not everything will be included, but I’ll try my best :)
Angelic self care
I hope this helps any of you struggling brethren, or those of you just wanting some fun :)
My last post about kin self-care seemed to resonate with some people, so I made a list of things I consider to be actual kin-related self care.
-Go running. Run for a long time–as long as you can keep yourself upright, keep going. For me, that’s usually a bit over an hour on a treadmill. Exercise has been proven to improve cognitive function and is a great way to relieve stress.
-Go fishing (if you can/want to). Lots of carnivore theriotypes might enjoy actually catching and eating their own food. A lot of food-related self-care posts don’t take into account the fact that these animals aren’t just eating the food, they’re hunting for it themselves. Even non-seafood eating therians would likely enjoy this.
-Two words: morning yoga. Get up before/during the sunrise and try out a few simple poses. If you’re up before everyone else, there’s no need to maintain a facade of human-ness–don’t worry about letting out impulses when no one’s around to see them.
-Combine animal and human while working. Sometimes you will be too busy to dedicate any time to self-care–instead of completely neglecting your needs, try this! Find an odd place to do your work. If you’re a feline or an avian (or anything related to climbing/flying,) find a spot up high to perch and do your work. For example, on a tabletop or on top of the fridge could work. For burrowing/nesting therians, try working under tables or desks. Even getting stuff done while in the park is a good start.
I’ll add more if I can think of them.
