My First Trip to a Psychic
I think January is truly a time where people freak out about their lives and begin questioning everything. (See my last blog for more of my ‘philosophical’ insight on the topic). I also think it’s a time where men become odd and start doing strange things, like werewolves during a full moon. It’s strange because virtually most girls I know are going through relationship problems because their man is being a douche for one reason or another.
It was during one of these discussion with two of my girlfriends (who all three of us are having boy problems. Imagine the conversation we had!) that we had the idea to get insight from an outside source, someone who could guide is in the right path and clear up all the confusion we were having. Church, yoga, therapists, self-help books – sure, these all seemed like a good idea but we needed a quick fix. We decided to visit a psychic. After a half hour of internet searching we found a place that looked less sketchy than the rest and headed over.
Let me tell you, I’m not really a fan of psychics and I am a huge skeptic. I mean, even Miss.Chleo turned out to be a fraud. So I headed in with the mindset of taking it all with a grain of salt and if anything, it would make for an entertaining night. I was first up. We sat down at a table, cut a deck of cards and she started flipping them over like a black-jack dealer. I figured the odds of her flipping cards that would foretell my present and future state were about as good as beating the dealer ten times in a row. But as she started looking at the cards, she surprisingly started telling me things that were pretty right-on, and not very generic.
The first thing she started telling me was about my career path/education. She told me that this was a year for change and when my career would start to develop. This was great news since for the past half a year I’ve given up on job searching for something in my field because of a great deal of discouragement. This fit in perfectly for what she said next: that I’m extremely ambitious but that I doubt myself. At first I didn’t think this was accurate. But then I started thinking how I really have been doubting which direction I should take in terms of schooling, job hunting, which stream of journalism I eventually want to get into. She then told me that I’m the type that needs a career that allows for creativity and that I don’t like working under authority. This was pretty right on as I have always taken on a role of a leader and I really don’t like being given a task without allowing me any insight on it.
She didn’t give me much insight on my relationship and whether or not the one I have been with is the one I will have a future with. But she did tell me that I need to focus on myself and accomplish things I have wanted to do, such as travelling, (which I’ve been planning on doing for two years now) and if he is still there for me, then we have things to work on. She told me right away that I am a stubborn person and that my boyfriend is too. She nailed this right on the head! (And I hadn’t even said so much as two words to give on any impression of my personality). She said we are both passionate and don’t let our guards down and that is why we have problems. We let the little things get in the way and blow up into something much bigger than they should be. I actually couldn’t say it better myself and that kind of freaked me out.
Perhaps that oddest part was the very last card she flipped. It said ‘nothingness’. When I saw this I got a little bit terrified but when she started talking to me about this, it all made sense. I have been feeling like this for some time. This is the first time in my life that I feel like I’m not on a path towards something and that I’m living my life day by day without seeking change. She said I need change. I get bored when I don’t have it. This is also true. She told me that positive changes would come my way and that this is the year for me to find strength and go for it!
At the end of it all, I still don’t really believe in psychics. I think some may have an ability of some sort, but for the most part, they are just really good at reading people. As for this woman that did our readings, I’m not sure what to think. But in some strange way I walked out feeling confident and optimistic and really that’s what I went there searching for.
