You don’t need someone else to spark your flame.
Be your own furnace, stoke your own fire before you focus on igniting others. The brighter you burn, the more light you can show others.
Care for yourself.

An aesthetic for this blog.
A few words of advice, given freely:
"Do not wrong the crows. They protect those they love; but they do not love many." "You cannot navigate the forest. If you try, you will never be heard from again." "Their word is true once given, but the ones with frog's eyes and misty forms are never to be bargained with." "The lost will not be recovered." "The trees have eyes, and they see you." "You cannot trust the sparrows that live by the fountain." "Never stray from walked paths. Never walk on new paths." "Do not bargain with more than you can afford to loose. And end a deal if you can no longer see your partner's face." "Once your true name is given, you are lost." "If they see you watching them, freeze still and do not speak. You might survive." "Danger comes in all forms.” "Trust your instincts. Do not run if you are being chased."
"And remember; It does not matter what is there, you see nothing."
this is, perhaps, a request for a safe name, or perhaps it is a request for instruction. every time I try to come up with something to call myself, I get attached. Every name I have given myself has become one in a long list of True Names, an equally important part of Me. And worse, I find it hard not to give away my name at every turn. I want to trust everyone, to give myself up to every person I meet. How shall I proceed?
There’s no perfect solution, but some options to consider would be:
gambling on a myriad of true names, ensuring that anyone seeking power over you must collect so many different pieces that the task becomes untenable
choosing an alias too silly or hateful for you to love, even with your endless capacity to adapt
transferring schools
