Today I deleted my Facebook, guys!  I've never felt so powerful before :D.

Seriously though, I am reminded of when Siddhartha had left the presence of Gotama the Enlightened One. He had felt himself no longer tied to his old life. He gained a reverence for the world, and was able to continue on without looking back.

The way they tried to stop me.  They told me friends would miss me, that I could make facebook useful.  That my girlfriend  would miss me.  I almost felt sad, as if I was leaving forever my friends or experiencing death.

Death, as it is read in Tarot, doesn't exactly mean the end of life.  It represents a change, a new outlook, a different relationship.  It is an exciting card to receive, really.  It means it's time to move on with yourself and start over.  That doesn't mean get rid of everything beforehand.  I will continue to be with my girlfriend (Death can represent marriage too, isn't that funny!?), talk to my friends, and see them-especially when the summer rolls around!  I'm still creating art.  I am still passionate about the graphic novel.

Take this with you, guys:  When something ends, is it really over?  The world doesn't cease, even when it becomes dust.  A catastrophe is only a catastrophe in our eyes, because the end of our lives doesn't seem so beautiful in the wonderful scheme of the world.
