switch842A friend of mine got some tarot cards over the weekend. She was inspired by another friend of hers that LOVES going to psychics and stuff and, well, it's just a HUGE waste of money. So, she decided to get a deck of cards and would do reading whenever her other friend wanted.
I've never really put much stock into any of those types of "mystical" things in so far as they can tell the future or whatever, and I think psychics are some of the biggest bullshitters out there. Sorry to anyone who believes that, but I just don't. At all. If you want to go for purely entertainment reasons, have at it. But if you truly believe a complete stranger can tell you your future, I just don't know....
But tarot cards have always been intriguing to me. Again, not so much as they can tell the future, but maybe help you focus on certain areas of your life and all that kind of stuff. So, we went out for lunch today (our boss, too) and played around with the deck. She told me to look through the book of different layouts to see what I wanted to know. The first layout I opened to was "What Am I Doing With My Life." And that was it. Cos I have no idea... LOL
So, confession time before we continue: a couple months ago, I submitted myself to Random Acts when they put out an announcement that they were looking for more vidders. And they, for some reason, decided they liked me. So, I've been working for Random Acts for the last couple months and have gotten and "completed" my first two assignments. I say "completed" because I'm still waiting on feedback *ahem* on them and what I may need to fix/change/etc.
And now we get back to the tarot cards. The reading that came out was basically that I need to get over myself and let my creativity out and everything will be great. This is definitely along the lines of what I've been sort of thinking myself. Like all creative people, I'm often much more critical of my work than others are. And a lot of the time I've been thinking that any minute now they're going to realize what a hack I am and "fire" me cos I just suck so much. But I need to stop thinking that, realize that they accepted me for a reason and it's gonna be fantastic.
So, yeah. That's what's been going on.

But I do believe that we all achieve whatever goals that we are meant to achieve in our lifetime. How we get there and do it, well there are an infinite number of options and choices along the way.
Eh, maybe I didn't make any sense but there ya go...
As for the vidding thing, I applaud you! I think that is wonderful that you were chosen and it's a great honor. Stop being so hard on yourself! :P

I get what you're saying. I don't think I'm totally sold on the idea of fate or whatever. Simply because there are so many choices. Like, I think about how my life might be different if I want to a different school. Would it? Not a lot of my life now has much to do with the college I attended. So, I dunno. *shrug* One of life's many mysteries we will never understand.
