Thursday Tarot Thoughts ep.2

On Thursdays, I share a tarot pull and my interpretation. This is not a general reading, and the message isn't necessarily for you unless you feel like it resonates; it's simply my tarot thoughts on a Thursday.

Your value doesnt come from how much of yourself you give away.

This isn't some rainbow fish b*llsh*t.

Do you need me to repeat it? Because I will...

Your

Value

Doesnt Come From How Much

Of Yourself You Give

Away

I get it, you care. You want to be that person. So no one ever feels alone or lost. You WANT to show up for people, for your people. Truly. But lately it feels like this energy is leaking out in all the wrong directions. You're pouring and pouring from a cracked cup, hoping someone will notice you're running dry. Hoping someone will pour into yours. But you deny this need even to yourself.

You've been trained, silently, to believe that asking for help is a kind of failure. A sign of weakness. Even when you are told it's "okay to ask for help," you don't really trust it. You think "yes, ask ME for help and I will do it. I'll drop everything and be there."

There is this thought that leaning is weak, that being held means you owe something. It leaches into every crevice of your thinking. But that's not love, that's fear, disguised as independence.

You're not a burden, babe. I mean it. You're just used to carrying burdens alone.

You're not selfish for wanting balance. You're not unkind for drawing lines.

Healing hurts. It's not all affirmations and glow-ups like the internet makes it out to be.

There is bleeding through bandages, cleaning wounds you wanted to pretend didn't exist, learning how to sit with the pain without making it your home. The pain isn't who you are.

It happens. slowly. awkwardly. quietly. It doesn't always sparkle. Sometimes it just stings.

Sometimes it's simply choosing not to answer the same old call from the part of you that still believes you need to be everything for everyone.

And believe it or not, but it doesn't have to happen all at once. This isn't an all-or-nothing situation.

You're allowed to pause

to ask

to say "I need help" and not apologize for it.

It feels uncomfortable

vulnerable

exposed

It might not be a lot

But this is where it begins.

even if all it is is a breath, a minute of quiet, a little less pressure to carry.
