Sure, the world may be falling apart, but don't let that stop you from being kind.
Don't let it stop you from trying to help.
Don't let it stop you from disappearing into a sinister fog and becoming a terrifying creature of folklore and legend.

All that we have:
are the mysteries
hidden in:
misty forests
Bear, Bath, & Beyond
Don’t put off until tomorrow what you could do today, like starting a rumour about a terrifying & beautiful creature who haunts the forest north of town, and then becoming the reason that rumour is true.
Weirdness is strength.
You can use it as a shield but also as a sword.
Wield your weirdness against the world.
My wish for you:
That you always feel safe and warm, and that you'll someday find a map in an old book that leads to secret libraries, hidden portals to other worlds, and all the best burrito spots in town.
Your daily affirmation.
Be as wild as you need to be. Be as loud as you have to be. And most importantly, be as weird as you want to be.
Reasons to own a cloak of moss:
- super stylish
- all natural
- absorbs rain
- good camouflage
- can blend in with moss goblins, and start a new life in the old forest as a twig witch or world weary hermit
Most doctors agree on a simple plan for life:
- get plenty of sleep
- drink plenty of water
- protect your skin with moss & lichens
- use only wild & sustainable magic
- avoid foods offered by weird fairies in the forest unless you wish to join them in their immortal realm
In times of strife, it's good to remember that you're not alone. There are many other lost souls, wayward spirits, wandering shadows, and moss draped horrors out here shambling along as best we can.
Take comfort in that.
If you're ever in the misty forest and spot a harried little mouse wearing armor and carrying a tiny sword, please leave them be.
They have bigger & furrier problems to deal with, just like we all do.
Help out in your community if you can.
Shop local, reuse & recycle if you can.
Buy art & books from friends & strangers if you can.
Disappear into the foggy moors or a mossy forest and become a legendary creature that timid townsfolk whisper about in the dark if you can.
A gentle reminder.
If you hear the muffled thump of the Easter Bunny's mighty paws tonight and have neglected to leave out an offering of carrots and whiskey, its wrath will be terrible to behold.
Remember.
Today is one of the few days of the year when it's ok to eat candy you find lying on the ground.
Especially if you believe it was left there by a giant, egg laying magical rabbit.
Your daily affirmation:
Life is what you make it. So make art, make mischief, make boozy milkshakes, and make a commotion that everyone will remember.
If you spot any bunnies hopping home tonight and you are feeling brave, follow them into the misty forest.
Join them as they dance in the shadows, bay at the moon, and mutter dark incantations to their elder gods.
Always believe in yourself.
If you want to brew the world's best cheap circus whiskey or learn to animate trees using ancient wild magic, I know you can do it.
I believe in you.
Your daily affirmation:
It's ok to feel out of place.
It's ok to look like a long-lost Muppet.
There are no limits to your weirdness in this world.
Your daily affirmation:
Slow down. Pace yourself. If it takes 6 months to ease into today, that’s ok.
Travel is a good way to expand your mind.
It's also a good way to find weird bones in the forest and hidden portals to the faerie realm, where weird forest bones are the main currency.
Some problems require careful thought and attention, while other problems should be loaded onto a catapult and launched at the sun.
Just don't get the two mixed up.
What are you up to?
What are you made of?
Your daily affirmation:
The world is a messy place, but it's not up to you to clean it all. Just try to tidy one tiny corner if you can.
What's holding you back in life?
What's holding you back in life?
Do you ever feel like you missed your calling in life, and were meant to be a rumpled library detective, roguish blimp pirate, or rascally curmudgeon who sits on a park bench and complains about the high price of goblin bones?
Who do you aspire to be?
I know we all have more questions than answers these days, but I feel like one question is not being asked enough.
Why don't libraries have taverns attached?
Your daily affirmation:
Life is what you make it. So make art. Make joy. Make a wizard tower out of books in a mossy forest and retire inside to study in peace.
Help out in your community if you can.
Grow a protective carapace if you can.
Sharpen your antlers with an enchanted dagger if you can.
Disappear into a mysterious fog once in a while and finally get some peace & quiet if you can.
What's your favorite kind of space?
What's your favorite kind of space?
Don't let anyone stand in your way.
Don't let anyone tell you you're not amazing.
Don't let anyone tell you can't become a powerful witch of the wildlands, the first ghost on the moon, or a tugboat captain with dark secrets and a heart of gold.
Look into a mirror and what do you see?
Darkness and a bookish melancholy?
Some thorns & moss around the edges?
A feral glint shining deep in your eyes?
Good. You're on the right path.
What secrets does the fog conceal?
You are not alone.
Even now, the twig witch is wandering the woods and thinking of you.
She's planning your mossy and ultimately messy demise, that's true, but the sentiment remains.
When thunder roars, head indoors.
When lightning strikes, don't fly kites.
When rain falls down, it's time to clown.
When the earth quakes, it's time to get baked.
If all this is forecast for tomorrow, gently drink away your sorrows.
Your daily affirmation:
Humans are simply animals like all the rest. Don't be afraid to show your fangs and use your claws once in a while.
Your daily affirmation:
You are stronger than you think. Your ancestors used to take down giant mammoths with nothing but their wits and a sharp stick.
Your daily affirmation:
Like a full Moon, you are also alluring, radiant, and a mythic source of magic and madness.
What's your favorite kind of celestial event?
What's your favorite kind of celestial event?
What's your favorite space color?
Which fantastical realm could you thrive in?
What's your natural state?
How do you move through the world?
How do you move through the world?
Don't let gloomy weather get you down.
Enter a dense fog, lose yourself in mossy corridors and shadowy nooks, radiate your own darkness from within and envelop everything.
You are the gloom.
Who did you want to be when you were growing up?

Not in my world. Even shadowy fog creatures can be helpful sometimes.

Nobody's perfect. I believe in you!
Your daily affirmation:
Life is what you make it. So make art, make love, make peace, and make a beautiful & terrifying ghost when you finally go.
Don't let the calendar trap you, or the circular cycle of the moon define you.
Break free of time and create your own rhythms based on the creeping fog of the moors and the fading light from dead stars.

Yes, I don't understand why it adds up to over 100 percent when it's multiple choice. It makes no sense, but it's kind of funny and is definitely another quirk of Mastodon.
