Three of Swords · III

✦Something hurts, and it hurts because it's true.

It might be a loss, a rejection, words you can't unhear, or finally admitting what you'd hoped wasn't real. The pain is honest; it doesn't need to be argued away or explained into something smaller.

Let yourself feel it without rushing to a verdict about what it says about you. Tell one person you trust, and hold off on permanent decisions while it's raw.

Turning one hurt into a whole story about how you'll always be let down.
