Today I gonna talk about the Ten of Swords. To be honest, this whole thing started with a weird dream I had last night. I dreamt I was lying face down, with ten swords sticking out of my back. It felt so real, so painful. I woke up in a cold sweat, heart pounding like crazy.
So, this morning, I couldn’t shake off that dream. I started digging around, trying to figure out what it might mean. Turns out, this image is actually a tarot card, the Ten of Swords. I’m not really into tarot, but I got curious.
What I Found About the Ten of Swords
I spent a good chunk of the day reading about it. Here’s the gist of what I learned:
- It’s about endings: Apparently, this card is all about hitting rock bottom, things ending, often in a pretty bad way.
- Betrayal and defeat: It can also symbolize feeling betrayed, stabbed in the back, or just utterly defeated.
- Painful but necessary: Some sources say it’s a painful ending, but one that’s kind of needed to move on.
How It Hit Me
The more I read, the more I felt like this card was hitting a little too close to home. I’ve been going through a rough patch lately. A project I was really invested in at work totally tanked last month. It felt like a huge failure, and I’ve been struggling to bounce back.
On top of that, I had a falling out with a close friend a few weeks ago. It was a stupid argument, but it blew up into something bigger. We haven’t spoken since, and honestly, it feels like a betrayal. I keep replaying the whole thing in my head, wondering what I could’ve done differently.
What I’m Gonna Do
So, yeah, this Ten of Swords thing really got me thinking. Instead of just wallowing in these feelings, I decided to see this as a wake-up call. Maybe this is the “ending” I needed to push me to make some changes.
- Work-wise: I’m gonna start brainstorming new project ideas. I need to get that creative spark back and prove to myself that I can still do good work. Time to move on.
- Friendship-wise: I’m not sure what to do yet. Maybe it’s time to reach out and try to mend things, or maybe it’s just time to accept that this friendship has run its course. I know what I need to do.
- Self-care: I’ve been neglecting myself a bit lately, so I’m gonna make an effort to eat better, exercise more, and maybe even pick up a new hobby.
I ended up spending the rest of the day just reflecting on things. I wrote down my thoughts, made some plans, and started feeling a little more hopeful. It’s weird how a random dream and a tarot card can spark such a big shift in perspective. I still feel a bit bruised, but now I felt that I am ready to move on.
Anyway, that’s my story about the Ten of Swords. It was a rough start to the day, but it turned into something surprisingly productive. I feel like I’m finally ready to put these setbacks behind me and start fresh. This is my ending, and also gonna be a new start.
