  1. The crossover I thought I’d never see. Just reporting in to say that despite others nay-saying I am making progress relatively to my previous self. I’ve done many things that others may see as little that are something to always think back on in relief and give me something to feel good about. And it IS thanks to people LIKE Peterson that have given good advice for someone like me, someone that is very anxious, stress sensitive and prone to defeatism. I have, for example, stuck to my values and bought a second hand almost antique pedal powered grinding wheel that actually performs awesomely and everything about it just radiates love. I’ve also USED it to successfully to turn useless dull things into useful sharp things and now I’m even trying to make it perfectly round with some smart but simple tricks so that I’ll finally be able to beautifully sharpen chisels and such. My mom is a real downer and calls all my progress ‘nothing’ or ‘not gold enough’. And it does get to me more often than it should, but it’s hard not to let that happen it being my MOM and living together with her. I’m going to try to stick with ‘screw the nay sayers’ though and keep focussing on the things that will make me die happily knowing I have at least attempted them and either done them partially or fully. But being in that journey is already something that warms and lightens my being. I will not give in, not even when my parents tell me a million times that I should force myself into places I don’t even want to be. No way. I’d rather die. And if I do die I’d like to at least think I made the best out of my situation and looked after my self.

  2. The ultimate mentor is the ancestor in the European mind. Fully glorified in the form of the gods, mainly Woden/Wen (from Wednesday). His spirit is lies so deep in the human soul. If you let all your anger and frustration flow through your whole body, there he is. When you walk in a storm and you feel like you ARE the one powering the storm, there he is. That is an inexhaustible spirit with quite a bit of madness in there. But it’s extremely strong, it will keep the lame nay-sayers at bay and will give you enough spirit to burn down your enemies’ castle.
