Ten of Pentacles, The Chariot, Four of Swords, Three of Wands, Two of Cups My dear Pile 1, you are no stranger to financial burden. Despite the hardships you have faced, it has made you stronger and now, you are ready to move forward in your life and in your career. It seems that you have had to deal with people whom you had to make financial decisions with that wasn't always truthful or forthcoming. This could also be a warning to keep an eye out for those that want to stop your growth. There have been obstacles that have hindered you from moving forward but that is all in the past now. These things from your past may have left you with an unwillingness to trust others with such important decisions and has you in a place where everything is more stressful because you have to do it on your own, leaving you restless and overworked. I think it is time to let some of that control go so that you can move into the career path that is meant for you. Oracle Cards (Angel Answers) - A Year From Now and Abundance In a year from now, it seems that your life is going to look totally different, and you will feel much more fulfilled in your life. The world is yours for the taking. It's just waiting for you to take it. I know that abundance is going to look different for everyone because everyone has different ideas of what it means to have abundance. Whatever that looks like for you, it wants to find you but you must be willing to let go of a little bit to gain a lot.

If you have not already, it's time to start looking for other opportunities when it comes to your career. Your place of employment is not what you may have expected it to turn out to be, but now it seems to be more stressful than what it's worth. For a lot of you the biggest hold up right now is the fact that you are indecisive on what to do. You may feel that you are following a pipe dream, something that you always dreamed of from when you are younger. Now, you're an adult and people have told you to put childish things away. They were wrong. If there is something that you know will make you happy, you should go for it. It's time to reconnect with that childlike part of you so that you can make the decisions on what you should do next. It doesn't matter what other people want you to do. Your decisions impact you, not them. There is definitely a fire inside of you to find what you truly want. You have to give back to yourself to find it; it's looking for you too. Once, you find that, your cup will overflow, you will find your happiness and get everything that you want and more. What you want, wants you. What is meant for you will find you. Don't give up or give in because there are people who want to fight you on what you should and should not be doing. Let them argue with the wall. They can't tell you how to live your life and they can't live your life for you. If they aren't willing to watch you fail, tell them to close their eyes. Life is about taking risks and being open to opportunities. It won't be easy. You will have some cuts and bruises in the end but at least you won't have to wonder "what if...?" for the rest of your life. Take a chance on yourself. You are worth it. Oracle Deck (Angel Answers) - Success! You are meant to have the job, career, life and more that you are looking for. It is meant for you and you have no choice but to win; you have no choice but to succeed.

Hey, diva... I know you're tired of being told this but, you are overworked, whether that be you are working yourself or your job is overworking you. Either way, a change needs to be made. You're not lazy for taking a break. You are not lazy because you just want to take a 30-minute lunch break. It's okay to chill. In fact, in fact, I sincerely encourage it because at the rate you're going, this is not going to end well for you. If I can be honest and speak from personal experience, all overworking myself got me was chronic pain and seizures that doctors can't explain - and let me tell ya, it damn sure wasn't my job that gave a damn about me when all this stuff started to happen to me. Also, if you don't want to be at this job, you don't have to be. It is time to start planning for the future and prepping to leave this job for your next venture and I have a feeling some of you want to start your own business, and if you do, this is your sign. You have no idea how beneficial it would be for you to get out of this toxic work environment. It could literally save your life. Please put yourself and your health first. It's time to love yourself more than you like your job. Some of you may have been over working yourselves because of something that is really hard to deal with on your own and you have found that working give you an escape from that. It's okay to reach out help. Talk to someone you trust, speak to a professional; do whatever you need to do that is best for you. It's hard right now but it won't feel like this forever. There is more to life than just waking up, going to work, coming home and then going to sleep. Yeah, this is a career reading but maybe the thing you needed to hear was that you are more than your career. You are not just a job and if you need some you time, just relaxing and vibing out, that's okay too. We all need different things so that we can be okay at the end of the day. Oracle Deck (Angel Answers) - If You Believe and Yes! You are being asked to have faith and to believe that things can and will get better if you try. What you want is in reach, the answer is yes and you can have what you want. I am sending you so much love and support right now. Even if you can't believe in yourself right now, just know that I believe enough for the both of us until you are able to do it too. You've go this and if you ever feel that you are just too deep and there is no way out, please, please seek out help and talk to someone. If you ever need to talk to someone, call or text 988 to receive help.

Why is it that you can do anything,

But I am punished for being whole,

The space you left in me,

Took my soul.

You act as an owner,

But I am no slave,

What was taken from me,

I freely gave.

I am not your mother,

Your wound is clear,

You were never whole,

Despite me near.

I ate your wound,

I called it love,

Despite the messages,

Blocked from above.

But now I can see it all,

The universal truth,

What you took from me,

The space you left there,

Was not yours to abuse.

You smiled adoringly,

Your stomach a mess,

You run from truth,

When you took my kiss.

But now I give it all back,

All the wounds for you,

I ate my truth,

five sentence (ish) prompt ask

George only makes the mistake of asking Jenson Button about the FIA teammate mandated meld once.

“I don’t know what to tell you, mate, shit’s weird, you know?” Jenson’s hair is very blond in the sun, not as light as Rosberg’s, but still. Blond. George wonders what he would look like with blond hair, doubting it would give him any of Jenson’s honey smooth confidence or Sebastian’s blunt ease, he’d still be as lanky and tall and all bones. Being blond wouldn’t tell him what to do with his hands in photos. Probably.

“Always forget lower levels don’t have to do it,” Jenson continues, as if he has been in Formula One for a century or two. “It’s like, okay, you’ve got all this space, right? In your head, you don’t even notice it, but then, they go in and shove some other prick in and suddenly, you’ve still got the same amount of space but it’s like you know about it now.” He smiles. “And what the other guy does with his space is up to him, isn’t it? That’s the shit part.”

Jenson throws a tanned arm around George’s shoulders. This close, he smells like a man, sweat and deodorant and petrol. “Bit like sex, actually, now that I think about it, how’s that for a metaphor, eh?”

“La una era la otra/ y la muchacha era ninguna” ~ Federico Garcia Lorca

I am petty. Splintered bones, skirt of green

fire, the skulls of all my foes hung around

my neck. I am mean, ravenously mean:

a hog's head worth. The ribs over my wound

are all bent outwards. That which was dwelling

within woke hungry. Decades go by. Greed?

A glint. A hint. It's never gone. Growing

the way greed grows without logic or need,

until it wakes. Wakey-wakey, monster.

You mean, pretty cocksucker. Here's my hog

sticking knife, pretty-pretty. Damnation

of queens. All that can curl closed my finger

opens. Grey greed blue hue greenish fog smog

kiss. Mist's kiss of flesh. Wet smack of toxin.

Notes.

The Garcia Lorca quote comes from a longer trippy poem, Casida de las Palomas Obscuras (Song of the Dark Doves) where the roots of this poem started, only to head off in a different direction by line 2. Inspiration can be a surreal beast, I suppose.

Por las ramas del laurel van dos palomas oscuras. La una era el sol, la otra la luna. «Vecinitas» les dije, «¿dónde está mi sepultura?» «En mi cola» dijo el sol. "En mi garganta» dijo la luna. Y yo que estaba caminando con la tierra por la cintura vi dos águilas de nieve y una muchacha desnuda. La una era la otra y la muchacha era ninguna. «Aguilitas» les dije, «¿dónde está mi sepultura?» «"En mi cola» dijo el sol. «En mi garganta» dijo la luna. Por las ramas del laurel vi dos palomas desnudas. La una era la otra y las dos eran ninguna.
