Okay, so, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this whole “love” thing lately, right? And it’s been a real rollercoaster, let me tell you. I decided to pull out my tarot deck because, why not? Maybe the cards could give me some sort of hint. Anyway, I pulled the 8 of Cups.
At first, I was like, “What does this even mean?” Eight cups, someone walking away… it looked kinda sad. So, I started digging around, reading whatever I could find about it. It seemed to talk about walking away from something that’s just not doing it for you anymore. You know, like a relationship that’s run its course, a job that’s sucking the life out of you, or even just a place that doesn’t feel like home.
I applied this to my current situation. I’ve been seeing this person, and things were great at first, you know, that initial spark, butterflies, the whole nine yards. But lately, it’s just felt… off. We don’t laugh like we used to, the conversations feel forced, and honestly, I’ve been feeling more alone with them than when I’m actually alone. When I saw the 8 of Cups, it was kind of a wake-up call. It was reflecting exactly how I’d been feeling deep down.
Facing the Truth
- The Decision: I knew what I had to do. It wasn’t easy, but I decided to have that hard conversation. I told them how I was feeling, that I didn’t see a future for us anymore. It was tough, tears were shed, but it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.
- The Aftermath: Of course, it hurt. Walking away from something you invested time and emotion in is never easy. There were moments of doubt, wondering if I made the right choice. But every time I felt that way, I remembered the feeling of being stuck, of settling for less than I deserved.
- The Moving On: It’s a process, that’s for sure. I’m taking my time to heal, to rediscover myself, and to figure out what I truly want in a relationship. I’m focusing on my friends, my hobbies, and my own well-being. And you know what? It feels good. It feels like I’m finally putting myself first.
So, that’s my story with the 8 of Cups in love. It wasn’t a fun card to get, but it was the card I needed. It reminded me that it’s okay to walk away from something that’s no longer serving you, even if it’s scary. It’s about choosing your own happiness, your own path, and that’s a lesson I’ll carry with me. I started to understand that it’s okay to move on, it was necessary, and it did not mean I failed. I just simply grew up and grew apart, and it became clear that I needed to put my own well-being first.
This whole experience taught me that I’m much stronger than I thought. It’s not easy to face these kinds of truths, but it’s so worth it in the end. If you’re feeling stuck or unhappy in any area of your life, maybe it’s time to ask yourself if it’s time to walk away. It might just be the best decision you ever make.
