Happy Birthday to my fellow Virgo. First up thank you for your heartfelt words (wow, this gratitude thing is contagious). You have expressed a lot of my own thoughts here. I don't normally verbalise them, but I certainly think them. And verbalising them is fine. It's honest. Things here, and in life in general can appear screwy. Unfair even. Not just to us, but in society as a whole. Why is that? (my inquisitive mind at work again).
I woke up this morning with such a similar mindset. Reflecting back on my own post from yesterday and the comments I received. Thinking about different emotional states, and where they come from, and how to interact with them. This post of yours helped coalesce these nebulous ideas and I am already conjuring up a post in my head right now (picture witches around a cauldron, wicked laugh, etc).
Gratitude has its place. Its hard to fake, but when it greets us it serves us well to embrace it, even if just for a moment. And even if it has a touch of the sardonic to it.
And my gratitude to you to, my friend :)
Oh wow! First it's our Steemiversary that's close to each other, now our birthdays! No wonder we get along haha! I'm glad this post helped you verbalize it. Not just with a few words, but by making an entire post! Catharsis all around!
I agree with you that it can't be fake. It's easy to smell schmoozing up when you see it. Even though I think about this a lot as well, I don't wear it out by including it unnaturally.
Thank you for taking the time to support my endeavors. Always nice to have friends :D
Your post came in at the right time, and it did contribute to helping communicate ideas that were floating around in me head. So credit where its deserved. Nice little moment of synchronicity.
Hope you guys had great birthdays, and time away.
Man, when wavelengths sync it's just pure magic. I expect a lot of those in the future, so I'm not at all surprised with it happening now :D
We did have a great celebration! It rained during those days, but it always rains during our birthday, so we just consider it a sign of good things to come :)
It was a nice bit of magic. My favourite kind.
Is there any other kind? Except, you know, time travel or fireballs or throwing lightning bolts or, you know what, yeah, it's my favorite kind of magic too :D
