282 - A God, Uncovering

Lin

I've been doing a considerable amount of research over the past few days.

My initial reasoning was that I wanted to research to find out have so much pain surrounding my views on Turkey and its people, but it led me into a whole load of genocides that I didn't even know about.

Part of me is now rethinking everything, as I'm exploring a rabbit hole that revealed the Croatians as being Nazis.

Which honestly, really caught me offguard - and I sense that my ancestors are not happy about it.

From what I can see, the atrocities of World War I and World War II are intrinsically linked, and seemed to give people the excuse to persecute whoever they wanted that they deemed as beneath them.

Even the Greeks took part in some atrocities, admittedly, though my thought is that it's likely that many Turkish accounts are exaggerated, due to their hatred and jealousy towards Greek people. (I am not, however, saying that said things did not happen at all.)

The whole thing is taking me a while to process and accept as fact.

Up until now, I had assumed that Croatia and Slovenia had been unwillingly involved in the Second World War due to Italian interference, but now, it doesn't seem that way - yet I can't help but feel my ancestors' pain over the whole thing, as though they were the ones who were hurt.

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.
