👋Hey.

Since there are a few new faces around here, I thought it was a good time to introduce myself & talk a little about my life.

My name is Nicole, I am 26 & I am currently living in a bus that my boyfriend & I converted into a home. We have two cats and my boyfriend & I have been dating for 6 years. I was ridiculously sensitive as a kid as I would have prophetic dreams of traumatic events that would happen to people I knew & didn’t know, I have been able to just tell how people feel (empathic) & can see inside of peoples’ heads.

In high school, I was supposed to die thanks to having factor five which made me have blood clots in both of my legs & abdomen. A birth defect ended up saving my life & that’s a whole other story in and of itself. These health issues paved the way for me to have endless paradigm shifts which helped carve my world view while also leaving me chronically ill.

I ended up going to college for nursing (much thanks to parental pressure) & ended up dropping out after the first year so I could follow my dreams of being an artist/photographer. I was successfully doing photography until it was too much for my health & now I work from home (our bus) & have my own mystic general shop called Oh Deer & Fox. (On Instagram & Etsy)

I am living an intentional & authentic life as a witch in a bus. 🌿

I like talking about & sharing art, scary stories, spiritual anything, photography, & so much more.

Please feel free to introduce yourself so we can get to know each other.

If you give children a vocabulary that’s large enough and complex enough to express their emotions and their ideas, you give them access to complex feelings and emotions in themselves. So that if you talk to a teenager and all they can say about how they feel is BAD, and they haven’t got, you know, a larger vocabulary for lonely, abused, insecure, frightened…I mean there’s this huge panoply which…I remember when my daughter was just telling me that she just felt bad, I bought her a thesaurus. I said, “Look up, is it sort of over lonely, or is it insecure…and look up under lonely, you’ll find two hundred words for lonely. Which one?” But what that does is that it makes you feel that there’s this huge complexity of emotions and there are words for all of them. If you want children to feel less frustrated and less disenfranchised and less unable to even feel comfortable with their own emotions, you’ll have to give them a vocabulary that’s as complicated as their inner lives. And one of the things we see in children is this incredibly reduced capacity for reporting their inner lives to the exterior world. One of the things is just teaching them poems, just teaching them to memorize poems in school, they don’t have to interpret them, if they just internalize the language of the poem, the complexity of the emotion in the poems…

I don’t have any other socials that I update with any regularity. If I had known this was going to happen I probably would have made and started managing a twitter to take tumblr’s place. Now that I think about it I might start just in case.
