Airy Fairy and Old Magic

So... I finally see what my mom was talking about. My stepmom puts all her faith in the higher beings, which I understand to a point, but she doesn't trust her own power, or the magic you can get from just the earth. She has no faith in the old ways, in runes, in working magic with nothing but the blade in your hand and the earth around you. As we were walking around setting up barriers to protect the house, I was frustrated because she didn't know how to tap into her own magic potential, she was relying on everything else to do the work. She doesn't realize what she could do if she just listened. Listened to the earth, and to some(not all) of the old ways. I guess my magic just comes from a different source. If it works for her, I have no right to interfere. But she can't expect it to work for me, and she can't force me to work with it if I can't link to it. I guess that I'll need to forge my own path, and make her see how different it is, but also how it works for me. That's the only way to make her see my side.

Graduated and Done

So I'm graduated now, and done with high school forever! Yay! But I'm still sticking close to home for college. There is a great deal that I have yet to learn about my hometown, and I'm excited to do so. I'll be rediscovering everything I've know at Metro in the fall, and I am eagerly awaiting August 19th. I made it to the end, and I'm thankful for all the support my family and friends have given me. 

And...
I never have to talk to anyone from my high school again unless I damn well feel like it. And that's a nice feeling. I'm not obligated anymore and it feels soooo good. There will still be a few people that I will talk to, but for the most part...until the reunion, I won't even see 98% of them. And I'm 100% okay with that. I don't have to play nice with the people that have hurt me or with the people I just don't trust. The others that I don't really know, well, I guess I just won't know them now.
