Mini story - Clarity with VITA✨
Ello! Some of y’all probably know me😆 I’m Jes’s son, and I thought I’d share a mini story and my experience with VITA Bot that has helped me have GREAT clarity as of recently!🙂‍↕️ Just in case some of y’all don’t know! I’m a 2/4 projector, splenic authority, and right angle cross of contagion 2🌟 With only my throat and spleen defined - consciously🍃 Bit of a story: One of my biggest challenges in life, and practically my everyday experience, has been managing the energy I absorb on a regular basis with the people around me.🥴 Ever since I was little I was noticeably considered 'violently autistic' due to my openness and my intense level of energy absorption and sensitivity to stimulation. Often erupting into meltdowns due to overstimulation of my senses and energy, with people also functioning around me while living in small isolated spaces with a large family😵‍💫 My loving mother @Jes Divine was my safe place and person, and my challenger to regulate my energetic system and bitterness, and to understand emotions as well.(I’m a non-emotional being with no motors for context) She wouldn’t say anything(or I’d respond to the verbal stimulation and fight back), and she would do nothing but hold me from behind to calm me, to love me… to get my nerves to calm down and learn to breathe in synchrony… And further on… I learned how to do breathing techniques more consciously with myself.🍃🪨 So I’ve really been on a journey to understand and 'taste' how energy works with people, and within me. And how to better regulate it myself. And WITH that, I can use my splenic responses to give deep wisdom and make great decisions or create ideas😎 I kind of have a mantra now that’s practical and cool: “Calm yourself and observe, then speak your truth in an instant” 🏹💥🤯 Lmao🤣😏 Anyways, these screenshots from my VITA bot have been helping me with my clarity!😌 Especially with knowing about how powerful my spleen is😏😎 Have y’all joined the VITA community yourself?

This is so deep! I love it. I'm so happy you've found those ways to cope with all the energy because as someone who also absorbs everyone's energy like a sponge, it gets pretty draining and overwhelming at times

Y'all @Barbara Guimaraes adds so much to FHD with her regular posts about her gates and ponderings! I just love her!!! Deep words, artistry, wisdom, and her spirit is so precious! It totally makes sense that she's a therapist! Her community, The Nest, is a soft place to belong, even on your hardest days, and her Instagram is so encouraging! I love what she says about living the 167 hours between therapy appointments. 😍 What's you favorite part of our chat? 💞

I had such an amazing time with you as always <3
Aha! This is actually about HD on purpose 🥴
So a few posts that I've made backwards I mentioned that the design, etc stuff sounds liked races in a fantasy world so silly me I decided to cater to the digital art craving I had been having for the last day and I drew what I think the specific categories would look like in a fantasy realm, the only one that I didn't do was the reflector aspect because I don't necessarily have enough insight as to what they would look like, and hey what the hell ya'll might not even think this is accurate to what you think, but I honestly thought it'd be a fun drawing exercise and I've had it floating around the 'ol noggin for awhile so I thought what the fuck and spent an unholy amount of time drawing and listening to everything from My Chemical Romance, Talking Heads, Metallica and Schoolyard Heroes while coming up with these kind of insane looking personifications of the types of human design charts and I think I really had fun doing it 🙃 I also killed my hand drawing this and I've ended up with a sore hand from drawing way too many times, but despite my apparent projector-ness and supposed wisdom and shit, I can never somehow learn from my mistakes such as taking breaks and whatnot because I also have a tendency to hyper-focus on things and deciding to ignore cues from my system/body that it would appreciate a break, but that's my own damn fault I suppose 😅, anyway thanks for reading a sleep deprived raccoon's rant and perhaps taking a wee glance at the picture I attached to the post and I do hope your existence goes well or doesn't end prematurely 🦝

🌺 Turning 30: From Forcing Life to Responding to It
✨ A reflection on my next decade through the lens of Human Design and becoming who I actually am. ✨ I just turned 30, and for the first time, I can feel that something in me has landed. My twenties were full of searching — trying to fix, trying to prove, trying to find “the right” path or person or purpose. I was constantly initiating, constantly chasing experiences that I thought would make me feel whole. That worked… until it didn’t. What I’ve realized, especially over this last year, is that I’m not meant to initiate life — I’m meant to respond to it. As a 3/5 Sacral Generator, every experience, every “mistake,” every relationship that didn’t work out was never really failure — it was feedback. It was my sacral saying, “Not this,” so I could recognize “this.” And now, stepping into my thirties, I feel that difference. Instead of trying to control outcomes, I’m noticing what lights up in front of me and letting my energy move toward what feels alive. The peace and connection I felt on my birthday — laughing with friends, cuddling with my partner, sharing stories with family — that was the pure frequency of satisfaction. I’m learning that maturity isn’t about settling down; it’s about settling in. Into my rhythm. Into my body. Into the simple truth that the life that’s meant for me doesn’t need to be chased — it will rise to meet my response. My Saturn Return feels less like punishment and more like grounding: building a life rooted in real value — in what feels good, not what looks good. My 30s are for discernment. For softness. For trusting the sacral spark and letting satisfaction be the metric for success. 💡 Reflection for the group: If you could stop chasing the next version of yourself, what would responding to life — with ease, presence, and trust — look like for you right now?

Therapist energy, real-life chaos. Helping women turn self-awareness into self-trust—no performative healing here. ✨
