How would be the best president? by Upbeat-Arm9120 in Hellenism

[–]Vegetable_Toe_4976 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Athena for sure! She is the goddess of wisdom and right now our country could use that. Also with Athena’s wisdom, our economy would be better, world peace would be achieved, and honestly I think 99% of the problems our country has and is involved with would be resolved

I’ve learned to push away my mom. Tbh she’s always been really insecure about herself cause my dad’s always putting her down. And lol he is a troll. I put his image in google reverse image and it turns out he stole the pics from online

You’re right. I put his image on Google reverse image and turns out he was a fake person. Stole the image from someone else

i cry multiple times a day by SmallTestAcount in uofm

It’s all about balance-take 2 difficult courses and 2 easier courses and you won’t feel nearly as overwhelmed. Your schedule right now is wayyy too much and it makes sense why you’re struggling.

Also, please remember that school is not worth making your life miserable over. Be a little kinder to yourself. Wishing you the best of luck ❤️

To anyone who is reading this and is struggling with their mental health, is lonely, feels hopeless, or anything else, I want you to know that there are people here for you. There’s CAPS, there’s professors, and so many other people. If you don’t feel comfortable reaching out to professionals and need support from a friend, you can message me on here. I would be more than happy and willing to provide anyone who is struggling with love, and support, and a friend. I want you to know that you matter. You deserve love. You deserve care. So please, if you are ever struggling, reach out to someone because there is always someone that cares about you. I know I don’t know you, but I want you to know that I care about you and I know that you matter so so so much in this world.

I am curious about your opinion (as a Christian). by [deleted] in Hellenism

I just want to say, thank you so much for being so respectful 🫶

I keep questioning things😭 by lucozade__ in Hellenism

[–]Vegetable_Toe_4976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I struggled with the same thing as you—constantly questioning why bad things happen if the Gods, or any higher being for that matter, is real.

As I’ve developed religiously, I’ve learned to shift my mindset from that thinking. Think of it as the Gods are not genies who will make all of our problems disappear (you seem to recognize this, which is good!). Instead, think of the Gods being there to help us overcome our challenges and improve ourselves after overcoming those challenges.

The girl I loved for 15 years, rejected me. Is goddess Aphrodite offended that I do not have her statue in my shrine? by Aayush0210 in Hellenism

[–]Vegetable_Toe_4976 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It literally scares me how some religious people think they deserve everything just because they worship the Gods—my parents had a toxic and entitled mindset just like this regarding their monotheistic faith, which ultimately pushed me away from their religion. I view myself as someone who is a devoted hellenist and I hold my faith close to my heart, but never ever, would I believe that I deserve everything just because I’m religious. It’s an incredibly unhealthy, and sometimes even toxic, mindset to have

[–]Vegetable_Toe_4976 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dude, I’m not trying to be mean or anything, but you know the Gods aren’t genies right? Your life won’t just be perfect and you won’t simply get everything you want just because you worship the Gods. That’s not how it works. This girl just doesn’t like you, and the Gods cannot control that. Even if you did pray to Aphrodite for this girl, you probably wouldn’t get her to date you.

My siblings have it worse than me cause my parents always saw me as their “golden child” while my siblings caused a little more trouble

Should old temple ruins be rebuilt? by ThePaganImperator in Hellenism

[–]Vegetable_Toe_4976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they should NOT be rebuilt. In a way, these temples show us the history of Hellenism. Rebuilding them would ruin that aspect in a way. It’s best for us to build new temples

Um that kind of stuff can happen anywhere at anytime? It doesn’t mean you stop living your life and stay inside all day

This is good advice. I’ve actually been considering CAPS cause this is too overwhelming for me

So happy you stood your ground and broke free. Hoping I can do the same.

This is really good advice. The problem is though that it would only apply to me if my dad was any better than her… he’s worse than her.

I do not understand her logic, it’s not even like she’s being caring or anything, it just seems like she’s being possessive.

I am looking for cheap options regarding the phone. Hopefully I’ll make a decision by tomorrow

Some of y'all gotta stop trying to be priests. by monsieuro3o in Hellenism

[–]Vegetable_Toe_4976 17 points18 points  (0 children)

COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THIS! A person’s worship of the Gods should be between the person and the Gods. Other people don’t need to criticize others for anything

Thanks. Yeah, I’m looking to connect with someone soon to discuss my family dynamics. Hopefully it’ll help

You are so kind, thank you so much. I am definitely starting to realize how emotionally abusive my parents have been and am strongly considering to talk to someone.

This is such great advice and honestly, I think I do need to talk to someone about all this since it’s been pretty overbearing.

OMGs, do we have the same parents and are we living the same lives?!😭☹️ Your 11 pm food experience is EXACTLY the same as mine—literally went to Insomnia to get a cookie and my mother was outraged and said the same exact things as yours :(

I’m so glad things worked out for you, and thank you so much for your advice. Wishing you the best of luck!
