Ever since my college days, I've come to realize a few things, some of which I've posted earlier, and some of which I haven't. For example, some inquiries into the nature of the soul have been answered (kind of) by my explorations. It is possible to project a spiritual "image" of oneself to others who can see. I have actually found the way to change my own "projection", and have confirmed what it is by asking close friends who I have not told what I am "projecting." I have even changed the image and still gotten feedback from them confirming my suspicions. This also brings about the thought that perhaps I am not, in spirit, a dragon, but that has also made me question what a dragon is. After asking this question of myself, I have come to a conclusion, sort of.

A dragon is the standard of possibility. It, in and of itself, is strong, fortuous, armor-plated, intelligent, and capable of all sorts of magical abilities, the most well-renowned being the ability to breathe fire. Were any of us able to be any one of those things at the level that a dragon is, they would be hailed as paragons of humanity in their own way. To be like them is an aspiration of mine and motivation to push myself in all aspects of my life. It also gives me an excuse to collect shiny things.

Religiously, I remain the same as I always have been: unaffiliated. If you feel the need to congregate in a special building to compare clothing once a week, by all means, go for it. But you will never see me there, or at any other religion's building. I refuse to be part of an establishment. I am an individualist by nature. I find that I'm looking less for someone spiritually like me and more for my own personal enlightenment/peace of mind/whatever.

Just felt like telling those I know and those who care that I've been changing, and trying to explain some of those changes. More on this as the story develops.


"You can never escape me... Nothing harms me. But I know pain. I know pain. Sometimes I share it with someone like you..."

To answer any and all questions about my personal self or actions: because I can.

I too have been on a bit of a quest for several years, trying to find what makes sense to me. I know what it has been like for me. I wish you all the best in your quest.
