I am short and generally bubbly, so people always assume that I am younger than my actual age (which is wild to me). One time a few years ago, someone came to my door and asked me if my parents were homeā¦my tattoos were highly visibleā¦ I said no and wasnāt lying š¤·āāļø
When my son was first born, I had to bring something to my husbandās work, and the dad of a client asked who the teenage mother was (It was me, I was 31 lol).
Personality things, I donāt know. Iāll have to ask some people and get back to you!

Everyone assumes I'm much younger than I am, so what do I do when I find someone's treating me like a teenager? I lie & tell them I'm 10 years older than I actually am or sometimes that I have a son named Carlitos- this one I use ONLY when the other person starts talking about their own kids- to relate to them ya know? The look on their faces is worth the sin I'm committing & it often earns me respect in an otherwise uncomfy situation.

When I was younger I used to have a lot of people thinking I was really scary or standoffish, but I was actually just shy and autistic. I didnāt have many friends at uni and on the last department party I was drunk with people on my course and they were telling me how they thought I was too cool and edgy for them and I was like āI didnāt really have many friends and I mostly sat aloneā and they were like we all thought you had cool friends outside of uni and were really sorry. But that is what I get for wearing corsets to lectures and having half my head shaved and then purple hair! more recently and throughout my life people have often seen me as very serious or miserable because they only see my work, and are surprised to know Iām actually a silly goose whose pretty funny on occasion.

I'm 23 and teach undergrads. It's bound to happen, I know. I used to feel some type of way about it, but now I don't really mind. My students are really cool.

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE š

In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle.Ā These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once.Ā The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next.Ā We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom.
The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust.Ā The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back.Ā This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out.Ā The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy.Ā Iāve found that as healing goes on, just as itās shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being.Ā We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time.Ā Ā
The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow.Ā There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of āthis is what is, how can I make this work well for me?ā Everything works out for The Fool because they donāt know it canāt. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow.Ā I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more.Ā The Fool doesnāt stop to worry what other people will think!Ā The Fool does not fret about what ifās!Ā The Fool is in the moment!
