Back from vacation

Vacation was very good. I enjoyed GW.

Getting back and having a real bath, eating real food, sleeping in a real bed is also very good.

Paths, adjacent and apart

In life, we all have our own paths to walk.

Sometimes our path runs adjacent to paths of other people for a time. And sometimes they split apart, no matter how much we'd wish otherwise.

Voluval anniversaries and birthdays

In my clan, Voluvals are traditionally held in late summer. Afterwards, there is a big party that doubles as Voluval anniversary celebration for everybody.

Birthdays are remembered also, but are more of a "friends" thing than something one marks with kin.

25

My 25th birthday was yesterday. Already.

Clone update medicals

I dislike clone update medical checkups.

I know having regular checks is really good, but they are still a reminder of something I would rather not think about.

Cheery and upbeat

That's me.

Coping with capsuleer life

After some thought, I've decided to slightly rephrase and blog something I posted in a corporate internal discussion.

I will share two other things that have helped me much over the years, when I have struggled with what I have become. Maybe they will help you too.

The first, from Theron Gyrow, is that morality is a choice, not a destiny. I have free will. Even if I have thoughts and feelings I would rather not have does not mean I have to let them dictate how I act.

The second, from Elsebeth Rhiannon, is that while we have been made into weapons, we can choose how we will be used. I have great power. Many might wish to make my choices for me, but I am the one who chooses which causes I serve.

I find myself returning to these truths over and over again.

It can sometimes be tempting to abdicate responsibility, to pretend to be driftwood pushed along by evil fate.
