9 of Wands

This week’s Tarot-Draw is the Nine of Wands.

Oo somebody’s butthurt.

What a great silly phrase “butthurt” is.

Obviously the butt, the seat of our bottoms, is the source of all major emotions… makes perfect sense. *Please add sarcasm.

With a meaning akin to someone going out of their way to take an extra personal offense to something.

Although, every once in a while you do need to have a good sulk over something.

Get it out of the system before it clogs up the works.

Seems like a good time for a check in.

Picked up any new grievances you’d be better off without?

How are we resentful-wise?

How many resentments are you currently working with?

Are there things I resent? Yes, but they’re mostly like mad at not being able to levitate yet or digest sunlight directly.

That was a joke. I’m working on it.

Resentments are like weeds in the garden.

They grow back.

Recovery suggests being fearless and thorough in the examination of your resentments.

Admittedly that can be too daunting of a task at times so be kind to yourself.

Be patient with the parts of yourself that need more time to catch up with the system’s expectations.

Expectation overwhelm leads to emotional overwhelm.

I hate how easy it is to hurt my feelings.

I say that like there’s anyone else other than myself and the voices in my head doing the hurting.

“Too sensitive. Butthurt sensitive. You need a thicker skin.”

Rejection sensitive dysphoria is a thing.

I hate the hazing mentality of “I suffered through xyz so you should too.”

Sometimes pain is the merciless teacher whose lessons we go out of our way to avoid.

Not all pain is bad pain though.

How do you convey thoughts shaped through pain without pain being involved?

Endurance bears fruit, but burn out is real.

Don’t give up because of someone else - you can always use spite as motivation.

Self improvement is the best revenge.

I have to remind myself that practices to increase psychic sensitivity have the side effect of making you more emotionally sensitive.

Make sure your guards are paying attention and not slacking off.

This week in Psychic Sleep we’ll touch on themes of: weeds: guardians; and sensitivities.
