#change
‘Desiderata’ by Max Ehrmann
One of my all time favourite poems so I’d thought I’d treat all my lovely followers to a reading of it. Feel free to let me know what you think and if there are any other poems you’d like to hear.
Ladies and gentlemen, our own UK darling reads us a brilliant little piece. Powerful, and oddly seductive. I invite you to have a listen and enjoy the growth that will come with these words. And, of course, to hear those lovely intros of hers, you’ll have to visit me on YouTube. Sir Approves. Undressing your mind. One thought at a time.
Back for yet another cartomancy spread! This one is focused on change (expected or otherwise) and how to deal with it. This six card spread looks as follows:
- How can I best adapt to this change?
- What can I do to help myself on this journey?
- What is a likely positive that may come from this change?
- What is a likely negative that may come from this change?
- Overall, what is the most likely outcome…

I graduated from elementary school and middle school without having any idea of being undocumented. Then, my high school years began. During those years, my school decided to enroll some students to take college classes at a nearby college. I was one of those students. I remember how, in the application, there was a part where we had to fill in our social security number. I didn’t know whether or not I had one, until my older sister informed me. Even though I didn’t have a social security number, I never considered myself to be undocumented…until I realized I couldn’t do certain things my other friends where doing, like travel. I couldn’t go visit my grandparents, couldn’t drive, couldn’t get financial aid for college.

at least that’s what everyone keeps telling me.
To my love
Thank you for always being by my side
When everyone in my life would leave me
I knew I could always trust you
And that gives me hope for a better future
One where we can be happy
I know I haven’t always treated you with kindness
You’ve seen parts of me that no one else has, yet you still want me to be happy
You want me to be a better me
I love you
So from me to me…
Please be my Valentine
I’ve been tossed from the road I once was on
The path before me is paved with uncertainties
My mind is lost in a labyrinth of turmoil
Now all that I know is nothing at all
I’ve decided to go to war.
Not with anyone in particular but with my life.
For too long I have just followed life wherever it led me,
My life took away friends, family, and opportunities from me all while I was too busy being at war with what what going on in my own head.
Now, the fear, anxiety, and depression I have that were once my enemy have issued a treaty.
And we are going to take back my life,
Together.
It’s 2AM and I just cut all my hair off because I felt my life spiraling out of control yet again and I wanted to and I wanted to feel in control again. Now I’m kinda freaking out but I also kinda love my new hair!
