🔮⬇️ tarot:

have you ever experienced someone emotionally volatile and your brain freezes and you do not respond to the volatility? they scream and rant and cry and throw a fit and you just stare at them. some call it paralysis but sometimes it's actually a moment of realisation. a fork. you suddenly see everything clearly. by focusing on your own story, you inadvertently provoke those who demand your attention. and sometimes the cyclical resurfacing of situations finally lands. you might see ahead how a situation is about to unfold because you have lived the pattern - you see the fight or the staged relationship or whatever and you just kind of say oooohhh and watch it unfold. you are not required to participate in the chaos. you are not required to explain yourself or your boundaries. you do not have to explain how you feel to someone demanding an answer. you have the right to never speak to someone ever again. no matter how much that upsets them. that's why harassment and stalking are crimes in normal social settings: because those who disrespect the boundaries of others require someone to check their psychosis. this is not the time to settle and it is not the time to develop a relationship no matter what the performative politics of those who profit from the "union" plot. the pump for fake romance is a discovery tactic. love bombing is just as toxic as other forms of abuse.... they are all passive aggressive. doing your own thing is pleasant today - you might not even notice the other toxic things crumbling because you are not interested in their drama. you should keep and eye on the pulse of those you know tend to respond poorly to boundaries: predatory behavior is dangerous if you pretend it is not serious. looking out for one another requires trust and a spirit of generosity. see what you have in the pantry if someone is hungry. if they abuse you because of it: now you know who to put on a billboard. no nonsense. no fuss. make a pie, bake some bread, soup, comfort movies, your favourite drink. wear the new dress even if it is to one errand. stop saving life for another day. what recipe are you making for the shalomar potluck this week?
