A bit of a health rant / vent.
I keep having heart palpitations. They arenāt strong, its more like a fluttering. But tonight they are worse. Ive been awake since 2:10 AM (3:26 rn) They DO go away and have gone away for weeks before. I just hate when they come back.
I think itās just my way of life that causes these. Im dehydrated and not active, but hopefully thatāll change by the afternoon. I also think stress and strong emotions are contributing to itā I hate having to pay attention and to find triggers for it.
Iām tired- exhausted. I have school in less than three hours and I canāt lay down. I canāt handle my bed currently (Overstim, associated with health issues and oddly making me itchy). So I donāt know if I should just sleep on the floor or just stay up. The proper day hasnāt even started yet and I donāt want it to. Iāll overcome this, I know I will.

How do critters/people make friends? Like talking 24/7, respectful friends? No matter what games or discord or groups I join (irl or online) im always pushed out???
I watch out for myself, making sure im kind, respectful and active. I offer help when needed but no friendships actually form. How do people/critters do this?
Im frustrated, I dont wanna be alone anymore.
Maybe if I was prettier. Or maybe if I was more horrifying actually
Reminder that the Percy Jackson series is not an accurate source of Greek mythology.
A bit of a ramble ahead!!
The internet feels like its dying / making an odd shift that pushes out communities and genuine connection. I am finding it difficult to make an online space for myself on a lot of platforms!! The internet doesnāt feel fun anymore. All it is? Just ads, AI bullshit and websites that arenāt funā people / creatures dont explore the amazing ideas we have anymore.
I want to carve out a space for me, perhaps I need to make my tumblr more like me? Ive seen videos about making personal websites on the āindie webā or perhaps that?
Maybe Iām just online too much ? :,)
I dunno what to do gamers omh š
Truly I am becoming so sick of people treating my religion like a fun quirky irl Percy Jackson. (I've ALWAYS been sick of it but oh my gods)
This is a REAL AND ANCIENT RELIGION. These are GODS. Not your silly best friends that are just constantly chilling around you. The lack of respect towards their divinity and weird mortalization of them I've seen in some spaces (not as much on Tumblr but tiktok and SEVERAL discord servers I'm in) is so uncomfortable and angering.
The prevalence of "deity identification spreads" as if they're trying to figure out their godly parent in PJO, the constant "what god is reaching out to me?" questions I see from beginners who barely even KNOW hellenic polytheism, and the constant treatment of the Theoi as fun friends that just sit around on altars at someone's every beck and call. It's so upsetting? It's so uncomfortable?
Yes, the gods love us. Of course, they care for us. But where is the respect? Where is your kharis? How can they love you when they don't even know you? And how can you claim to love Them when you hardly know Them?
You MUST research in this religion. There are no cutting corners. You must must MUST learn. Because without understanding how sacred the practices are and their significance of them to their time and who these gods truly were, you run DANGEROUSLY close to religious and cultural appropriation.
