Nine of Pentacles Tarot: i finally have my own place and somehow feel guilty enjoying it alone
keys are mine. groceries are mine. nobody eating my leftovers or judging the quiet. worked for this through two bad apartments and a couch era. then mom asked when i'm "settling down with someone" like the apartment is a waiting room. friends keep inviting me to couple stuff where i'm the odd chair. i love the silence. also wonder if self-sufficient is code for left behind.
pulled on the weird guilt and Nine of Pentacles upright. woman in a garden, falcon, grapes, looking like she earned the damn grapes.
is this card permission to enjoy solo, or a hint i'm isolating under a pretty aesthetic. because the good chair feels like a win until someone implies it's incomplete
