213 - A God, Passing

Lin

Today may have been the beginning of something beautiful.

I referred myself to an organisation that may have a place for me!

However, I need a social worker to submit a needs assessment.

My hope is that they get onto that as soon as possible and realise just how much help I actually need to get back to being independent again.

Passing it over to my caseworker has made me equal parts nervous and happy.

Frankly, I don't like leaving it to other people, but I trust her to get the job done.

After looking at Cadw, the Welsh version of English Heritage, I'm actually excited to move.

Once I get a membership, I'll be visiting historical places in both Wales and Man, as it'll be free if they're owned by Cadw or Manx National Heritage.

Cadw membership also gives a 50% off discount for both English Heritage and Historic Scotland for a year, then is free after a year.

You bet I will be investing in an individual plan.

Someone ruffles my hair, and I turn to see Manny grinning at me.

Thinking about visiting Mannin, lad?

I nod, and he takes a seat alongside me.

You'll want to fly to Douglas first, kiddo. Air's sweeter there.

I can't help but smile. Myself and Manny haven't spoken in what's felt like ages.

Nice. I'll bear that in mind.

Where have you been, anyway?

Manny sighs, slouching slightly into the sofa.

Healing my own things, lad. Besides, Vannin needed healing as well. Though I did make sure to come back to stay during the night. It felt like you still needed my presence somewhat.

And now, it seems, you need it again. Probably further.

I cast him a questioning look.

How come?

For a minute, I can sense him contemplating his answer.

Ye need someone to meet ye in the middle - to teach you how to be your godly self again. And I mean this ability wise, not just soul wise.

Whilst you have plenty of protection, you also need someone who can look out for your wellbeing on the physical without it being or looking weird for ye.

Essentially I am offering to be a mentor to ye until you figure yerself out.

He smiles.

Ye vie (good) with that?

I grin.

I would be honoured.

He ruffles my hair again, beaming.

Fabulous. We'll begin when you feel most ready. Kiart dy liooar?

Kiart dy liooar.

51 - A God, Reaching

Lin  Yesterday I had a panic attack almost as bad as the one I had at UC about a month ago. When they come up, it's crippling. I always knew that my panic attacks came from the concern of how much physical energy I would have to do a certain thing, and whether or not I'd end up being vulnerable in a public place. Again, it was always mrs voldy who said I was vulnerable, when in truth, I am about as vulnerable as anybody else who is white and femme presenting. Which is, to an extent, vulnerable, but not the sort that I was being led to believe. And anyone without the proper support they need is vulnerable to an extent. My limbs and head ache with the tension that I was doing my best to avoid. My kidney isn't particularly happy, either. I'll bet you anything that if the doctors ever get a look at my kidney, they'll find a laceration where I was stabbed. It's not subtle. They'll see it. And then the voldys will be in serious trouble. I had to speak to another c

266 - A God, Green

Lin I visited Greenwich today. After the reclaiming last night, it only felt right. What I found there is still something I'm processing. Let's just say that the people of Greenwich remember me, and venerate me. They've built a statue of me near the Millennium Sundial, marking the entrance to a huge nemeton that spans from there across Greenwich Park, to the Cornish Rebellion Memorial. Knowing that the people and spirits of the area remember me and love me brings tears to my eyes, even now. Somehow, I managed to do what I set out to in the first place - take back the meridian that's mine. Frankly, I thought I'd have to wage all out war to get it back - and I'm so grateful that I figured out a quicker, more peaceful way of liberating Greenwich. Currently, I'm back at the first nemeton, helping Arthur with his maps. My new nemetona have now been marked on the map, and some of mine and others' older ones are also being dug up by the timeline enchantment I p

300 - A God, Shedding

Lin Over the past few weeks, my energy has felt really low, both physically and mentally. But especially mentally. Physically, it's started to become worse, particularly after switching between distance reiki healers I use on YouTube. Yet something tells me that with this change, I'm shedding energy, like an old skin - just like I would in my Gorgon form, shedding snake skin from my hair every now and again . As they like to say... "Out with the old, in with the new." Take today, for example, when some people came over to clear up the house's greenery, which was long overgrown - that had to be pruned in order to make way for the new. I'm considering asking my caseworker about the kinds of flowers we could put in our garden - though they would need maintenance.
