AND LOOK. HE'S GOTTEN HANDSOME AND TALLER. HIS HAIR IS LONG NOW

You know, I just feel like women, they have minds and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. And I’m so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I’m so sick of it. But I’m… I’m so lonely.

At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.   At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.

At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter.  At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker.  At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career and landed his first movie role at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first major movie role until he was 46.

Morgan Freeman landed his first major movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow won the Academy Award for Best Director when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it. 

Never tell yourself you missed your chance. 

Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough. 

I wanted to share my favorite way to read tea leaves. I used to do this specific one with my “atheist” friend who always wanted to do them. It is time consuming but very fun! Tea leaf readings is a form of future telling. The purpose of this is to read your future according to whatever question you may have. These readings are like Tarot in a way where there is so much packed into one reading, that it is hard to answer with a yes or a no. You will see symbols, numbers, letters, and lots of different shapes which you can easily find the meaning of online.

🌟WHAT YOU NEED:🌟

-Tea (black tea is great for these readings because the leaves do not all float to the top)

-Tea cup or mug with a handle

-A saucer or bowl

-Pen and paper

🌟INSTRUCTIONS:🌟 ☕️Brew your tea. I like to break my tea bag just a little bit to get some tea leaves out. You don’t need to break the whole bag, or you will be practically eating tea

☕️Hold your cup in your non dominant hand. Without a spoon, move the cup to make the water spin clockwise. The number of stirs you do has to do with how old you are. For example, I will stir the tea in my hand 25 times because I am 25 years old. Then, make sure to do the exact same thing with the opposite hand, for the exact same number. Try very hard to not switch hands mid way, or you have to start over.

☕️After you have stirred your tea in each hand, it is time to sip. Doing this in the dark is preferable, but you can use a blindfold to block out any light. Make sure it is very quiet, or you can play calming music. Sip your tea with your non dominant hand ONLY. Close your eyes and imagine what you want answered in the cup the entire time you are sipping. Do not gulp the tea as to make sure you don’t drink the tea leaves. This can take focus, but time goes by faster once you really get into it. 

☕️When your are just about to finish your tea, take your dominant hand and quickly turn the cup over your saucer or bowl. You don’t want to drink all of the water, or the reading won’t work.

✨How to read your tea leaves✨

☕️Inside your cup, turn the handle 12:00. Then, read the small symbols you find in your cup clockwise. The order is very important because it can tell you a story.

☕️Write down any shapes, letters, numbers, or symbols you see. When you have written everything down, look up what certain symbols mean.

☕️After writing down the meaning of the symbols you found in your cup, you can start to pick apart what they mean and how they correlate with the other symbols.

And you are done with your tea leaf reading!
