Hm. Kinda pissed.

My roommate's a p superstitious person that believes in the Chinese zodiac. She offered to read me and another person their fortune, but since it's in a different language, it's a little hard for her to get the best understanding of it.

I asked her what she read about mine, and even though she said she hasn't finished reading everything, she started giving me a very in-depth prediction based on what she knows about me and said that overall, it's looking like a pretty 'meh' year where I should stay put and sorta let things happen as they come.

She also has a LOT of bias towards this year's zodiac animal and it honestly really showed in my reading.

I knew this year would be one of many big changes bc there'll be a lot of and opportunities for changes, so I kinda nodded and felt like I knew what to expect this year after hearing that (stress and disappointment). But I was curious on what an actual prediction for my sign would be from others, so I checked out some videos of other people making predictions.

I watched 2 videos from 2 separate channels dedicated to making these predictions and both said that this year was going to be a great year for my sign?? That it's actually a great and very important year of change, and it's important to be very deliberate with my intentions and goals?? There were some things that lined up w what she said and what they said, but held very different connotations.

And I'm just like bud, are you fucking kidding me?

I generally don't take this stuff to heart bc I usually end up forgetting what my fortune said like a month in, but man, I was really anxious and feel really confused about what 2025 has in store for me. Roommate literally said this year's zodiac and mine absolutely clashes, but?? This year's zodiac?? Actually goes really well with mine?? And that's why others predict it'll be a good year??

It's small potato problems but I'm just pissed at the dread and disappointment I felt from hearing that vs. the comfort I would've received (and honestly needed) from hearing the other prediction.

This year's genuinely going to be an important year for me, I feel. And I feel like the overall message I got from her prediction was that there's very little I can control in my life... but what I actually REALLY need to know is that despite how I'm feeling now, I DO have control over my life, even if I can't control everything about the outcome.

Like man. It just fucking pissed me off :/
