"I Crumbled, I Fell, I Renewed: Honesty Before the Fool Card"

In the past three years, I have embarked on a profound spiritual journey that became a turning point in my life. This journey led to a painful divorce process, moving homes, and studio transitions, sacrifices I never imagined I'd make—all in pursuit of my happiness, all to be true to myself. 

I gave up assets, loves, relationships, and even the precious time with my children. Sometimes life forces us to choose between heart and reality, a choice that offers no consolation. 

Nothing is worth unnecessary battles, the painful grip on a reality that is not always comfortable, and fights for equality and justice that sometimes push us further away from what truly matters. During this period, Tarot cards were a beacon to me, illuminating dark corners. 

"The Fool" in the Tarot is not foolish, but simple in his faith and path. He embarks on an unimaginable journey, with complete faith that all will turn out for the best, with no need to cling to the edges of reality. This near-blind faith gives him the courage to face forward despite the abyss before him. 

My choice to embrace the unknown, to not fight and go with the flow, brought significant changes in my life. People I held onto tightly fell out of my life, things I loved turned out to be burdens, and I allowed myself to experience new things. I let go, choosing not to hold onto my reality so tightly that everything crumbles in my hands. 

Control can feel like an anchor, but often it prevents us from seeing the other possibilities available to us beyond the horizon. I'm no longer afraid to be the Fool in my life because ultimately, faith in the journey leads to an inner journey and listening to the inner voice that leads to great choices based on true internal values.
