Kiki’s Epiphany Service
Feb. 25th, 2022 01:45 pmAnother movie that it took me forever to see was Kiki’s Delivery Service, and I have to tell you, as a burnt out witch, this movie hits differently.
It’s made me come to the conclusion that I do not need to be actively trying to end this burnout. It all comes back (or doesn’t) in its own time
I also realized that I hadn’t been enjoying the writing, or the process, for a while.
And the only thing you can do for that is to back off for a bit. Do something else. Try new things.
I’ve been reconnecting with my love of food, outside of its earlier context as an aggravator of my eating disorders. Actually, I got called out on that one by my partner, who noticed that I hadn’t really been eating. I’ve rediscovered tea.
And spiritually, I no longer feel like I’m sitting in a pit. Do I have a label less complicated than I did before? Hell to the naw. But that’s not going to stop me again. I started reading some Taoist stuff, am going to start reading Thich Nhat Hanh. I’ve actually been active in my tarot practice again.
If writing happens again, something tells me it’s going to be different.
