“Maybe your soul didn’t disappear. Maybe it’s just screaming and no one is translating.”
Sometimes it’s not depression.
Sometimes it’s not laziness.
Sometimes it’s not “lack of gratitude.”
Sometimes it’s your soul, unable to break through the noise, the expectations, and a life misaligned with truth.
You met your shadow.
It wasn’t a demon — just the version of you that’s tired of pretending everything’s fine.
This card is a loving punch in the ego reminding you:
You’re a masterpiece… with emotional side quests.
A glittery lie wrapped in rose quartz.
This card exposes the sparkly trap of spiritual bypassing — where crystals replace accountability, and affirmations cover ancient wounds.
Time to heal without the glitter filter.
Ascended? Maybe.
But if soup can still ruin your day, this card is for you.
A gentle reminder that being human is part of the path — tears, tantrums, salt and all.
Control isn’t born from arrogance. It’s born from helplessness.
Somewhere back there, chaos broke something in you. Maybe your childhood was unpredictable. Maybe love came with conditions. Maybe trust was shattered — and you weren’t given shelter.
So you built your own.
Shame teaches you to flinch from your own truth.
To wear a smile when you want to scream.
To be “harmless” — even when you’re hurting.
But shame is not your truth.
It’s a program. A punishment. A projection.
You forget who you are —
when no one around you reflects it.
when survival replaces meaning.
when staying awake would’ve been too painful.
This shadow lives in perfectionism.
In over-giving.
In staying silent when you want to scream.
In apologizing for existing.
You may be in a job that gives you security — but drains your soul.
A relationship that feels stable — but empties you quietly.
A belief system that comforts — but no longer fits.
Maybe you learned it wasn’t safe to trust.
Maybe your needs were called “too much.”
Maybe silence became your way of staying invisible — and staying “good.”
