@matt what about Torneko's dungeon thingy on the SNES? Pretty much like mystery dungeon.

Life's been crazy.
I'm not even sure what to share here, since I've been spared very few magical insights and contacts lately.
My spouse identified me by my witch identity last night, and it was touching as it was cold: she is the only one who recognizes me as such IRL.
We're straining financially, but we're just about to feel that soon.
We're about to be straining on time, too. More info on that as the story gestates.
We'd love a promotion, me to get a job that can support the household, or even me to be able to finish another book and reap royalties into another account. Yet profits scare me.

I'm stuck in gridlock. I want to save the world asap.

@noxy I heard stories about it, but nothing on who might be the perpetrator. The Cuban gov, though? Much less likely if it's real, compared to the US who already has sonic weaponry. :( are the sonic attacks actually happening?

I was Feeling It, thinking Experience is brief for all. I contemplated the peacock's brevity ( https://witches.town/@Filene/4348957 ), & admired the same of the lovely weather.

Then another testament arrived.

"Experience" fits me, not "Existence," "the universe," or "Life" etc: they don't encompass every moment's wisdom.

An experience IS limited, IS impermanent, & IS serendipitous. The ketchup figure was intentional because I'd find few others.

As I contemplated the wonder of the moment on my lawn, something rose over my opposing neighbor's home: a condor or hawk. It glided towards me, then above, when they turned back & descended.

Wow.

@guerrillarain 1,2,5? :o

I realized how quickly my spouse can fill with passion to begin a task. I realized I had lost that.

In the past, my ability to be zestful had been abused. I'm surprised I can remember many ways.
If someone could get my hopes up, they were ready to trick me after getting ready. This could be moments, this could be days of delusions/lies, this could be a long long grift.

In getting ready and energetic to do anything, it was extinguishable. So in getting anything up (pun applicable), I was ready to give it up or terminate.

I'm still trying to stop letting myself get extinguished. I've been too safeguarded, too.

@blackangel That's pretty awful.. Hang in there. :( <3

@Petrichor Wow! How magnificent! :D Congratulations on having your art shown!

@Petrichor Sick witch + broomstick pin! #gameofwins

This is an add-on to: https://witches.town/@Filene/4196347

I don't think I was clear, so I must be:

Serendipitous triple truths, are like a statement that reveal the speaker's stance on multiple fronts, but is spoken with a dependable license that all these interpretations may be identified by the audience.

A half truth is a statement meant to be taken as a stance by the listener intentionally, when the speaker knows the listener enough to assume they can't see the true stance expressed by the speaker. In a way, the statement is variable when being literal.

@Eve I relate to that sentiment. I recently read that depression "shrinks" the brain. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jun/30/chronic-depression-shrinks-brains-memories-and-emotions
They suggest the damage is reversible, and for me, I think of myself opening mental doors as well. Like, I've kept so much space inside my mind for internalized transphobia that I can eject that trauma into space and take up more meaningful residence inside myself. It is hard when you're just trying to grow at all, I do feel very stretched thin.

@kara_dreamer I'm not disappointed that you said what was honest, nor that you said what you needed to in being heard. I didn't expect to imagine you being stabby, and even such a cw might not have caused me to steer away from a hex of yours. I don't know what to do with your apology, since I'm more sorry you could ever be hurt so bad.
