I very much wish to be a person with rituals, but feel like they should be organic, which is hard to turn into ritual. I so admire friends who have a ritual of a pot of tea, of pulling tarot, of anything. (Even when I was churchy, I wasn't good at the ritualized practices, but I do wonder if what I'm admiring are things that remind me of the spirituality I was promised through those practices?)
You articulated this feeling so well; I fully agree! I admire it so much but sort of tend to wait for them to 'happen,' which for my personality/neurodivergence is just wishful thinking.

<3 thrilled that you read/enjoyed and also envious that you got to grow up with such a stellar aquarium!
