Other people's opinions matter to you? That's good.

Who among us doesn't know this feeling: we tell ourselves it shouldn't matter what others think, say, or judge about us. And we try everything not to think about it.

This is something that has bothered me for a long time. I shouldn't let what others say about me dictate my actions – especially those who don't even know me. It shouldn't matter to me. It shouldn't matter to me. IT SHOULDN'T MATTER TO ME.

But guess what? If we close our eyes, things don't just disappear. You're standing on the tracks, a train is coming, and you close your eyes. The train doesn't magically vanish into thin air. No...! It still comes whether you want it to or not. And bam.

It's the same with the things we tell ourselves.

This week, I learned how liberating it is just to say: Damn right, it matters to me what others think of me. And YES, that's damn well okay.

Because often, it's not about others at all. It's about something within us that is touched. An old wound. A doubt. The need to be seen, understood, or accepted. And that's where the real work begins. We need to see the train to realize that standing on the tracks is dangerous. And so we can jump to safety in time.

We need to stop fooling ourselves. Nobody is perfect. And that's the beauty of it.

Not feeling anything is impossible; we are human, and we have emotions. And it is your job to understand why you feel what you feel.

Sometimes we want to belong. And that is deeply human. So free yourself. Admit what is uncomfortable to admit. Say aloud what you usually suppress. Because, believe me, it is sooooo liberating that you will wish you had done it much sooner.

Healing often begins when your shoes have become too tight, and you finally take them off.

And by the way: Tarot readings are exactly for that. They hold up a mirror to you, bring the uncomfortable to light, and can be incredibly healing.

I'm here for you. It's time to look in the mirror.

Book your reading now and finally free yourself from what you want to be seen.
