I'm going through a mild depressive episode, I think. I've also been feeling much more anxious. I hope it's just a phase.

I tried updating this blog three times, but my texts ended up sounding so depressed and whiny, that I scrapped them. I want to make writing a habit, but if all I'm going to do is complain, I'd better not publish anything. Sometimes all you need to do is vent, but in that case it's better to keep it to yourself. I used to vent on paper and then tear the pages up. It was very cathartic. I wrote three different posts in the past few weeks and deleted them before uploading, and the effect was similar.

Yesterday I tried to add a comment section to my blog. I had been thinking about it for a while, but my energy levels were so low that I could barely function. I had already decided I was going to use HTML Comment Box, because it can be customized, and I spent a good few hours doing that only to find out it's not possible to use it on free Neocities accounts. Money is tight right now and I'm trying to cut down on subscriptions unless they're absolutely necessary. Plus I'm not in the US and 5 dollars is about 20 bucks in my currency. At some point in the future I'm probably going to become a supporter, though. Maybe I'll add a guestbook, but I guess whoever wants to leave a comment can do so on my Neocities page.

I should start adding more pages to my site. I have so many ideas, but I don't know where to start. Some of them aren't very well fleshed-out, though. For example, I was thinking about adding a grimoire. I'm not a witch that does spells regularly, though. I'm not even sure I can call myself a witch -- I don't follow any particular tradition or work regularly with specific deities. Sometimes I'll go months or even years without doing a single ritual. I'm constantly reading and watching videos about the topic, though, and last year I did multiple rituals that, in retrospect, helped me immensely. I intend to keep doing rituals and I'd like to document them and their effects on my life. I might change my mind about that, though. We'll see.
