When love feels distant, maybe it’s not just the world — maybe it’s inner doubt.
It wasn’t that I was unhappy. I had my job, my friends, my space. But love? It just… didn’t happen. Every time I thought someone could be “it,” something would go wrong. Ghosted. Mismatched. Too fast. Too slow.
I started wondering — is it me? Am I doing something wrong?
I didn’t want another dating tip thread or a list of red flags. I wanted something deeper. Something honest. One night, I tried something different — a Tarot reading. Not to predict the future, but to understand the present. The first question I was asked caught me off guard:

“Are you ready for love — or just waiting for it to find you?”
That one question hit harder than expected. As we talked, and the cards unfolded, I saw parts of myself I hadn’t been willing to face.

…but with clarity about myself.
I didn’t meet “the one” the next day. But the next time someone interesting asked me out — I said yes, without fear.
