When I asked the tarot deck what card best describes me, this was my answer:
THE LOVERS
Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.
The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.
Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that’s actually more apt than “Lovers.” Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can’t understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
“At times of great disaster, one word will suffice. At times of happiness, too, one word will be enough. And when meeting or talking with others, one word will do. One should think well and then speak. This is clear and firm, and one should learn it with no doubts. It is a matter of putting forth one’s whole effort and having the correct attitude previously.
This is very difficult to explain, but it is something that everyone should work on in his heart. If a person has not learned this in his heart, it is unlikely that he will understand it.” - Hagakure
Normal is BORING.
If somebody calls you weird like it’s a bad thing… laugh at them for their ignorance. “Normal” never got anyone anywhere. People don’t make movies about “normal” people, and people also don’t write books about “normal” things. Being weird is something to be proud of. So to all you weird people out there, I love you, and thank you for not following society’s “normal” standards.
