just a little thing before i get off tumblr lol..
i, uh, don't know what i am. in the sense that what i am is vast and that I've flipped flopped back and forth between things.
i had a break in November for a while and I wrote an entire thing on shapeshifting and "finding your species", and when I technically did.. i felt amazing. gratification.
but it just kept changing.
it was a tigon, then na'vi, then magick, then eros vampyre, then luffy, then jimmy, then.. it's this thing. it's me.
and im confused, did i do it wrong? was i wrong and do i pull the plug on trying to name what i am? is naming my species and my type hard because I can't do it? because I can't figure it out?
or am i already figured out and do i stop investigating?
i swear, when i felt as though i was jimmy, i felt like i was whole. everything about us is the same everything except body wise, yeah? i felt amazing, i felt complete. but i felt the same with luffy and the na'vi. i was just... wrong?
no, not wrong... i kept finding things that weren't me but a part of the wider situation that is me. i am not jimmy or luffy or a na'vi but those things are parts of my greater sense of self. jimmy personality wise, luffy ideology wise, tigon traits, and the na'vi as comfort. all of that isn't me but make up what shapes me and how i see and experience the world.
i wasn't wrong! i just didn't know what i was.
and it's funny because i thought I'd never figure it out. i thought that I'd stick with jimmy because it was my personality and my sense of self that connected. but that doesn't mean i was just wrong, it just wasn't ME.
i thought that eros vampyre would move on too, and in a way it sorta did. though, eros vampyre seems to be a physical part of me. it is me. i am an eros vampyre, i shift into one and i feed like one.
regarding my magick, regarding me being "i am magick as a whole," that is still true! beneath all of this i am just magick and i am just electromagnetic energy. i am nothing more. magick is simply more of what makes me alive, not what i am.
blood pumping keeps dogs alive but dogs aren't dogs because of blood, they're dogs because of their genetics and that's what it is as an eros vampyre that lives off prana and magick and eros.
i know what i am and i think one thing i have to say is; stop trying to be one thing. you're never just one thing. you're an accumulation of everything you've ever experienced. you're not a monolith. you're alive.
