What is on the cards?

I've never been one to believe in tarot cards, palm readings and crystal balls. But I've always been intrigued. It's like my obsession/fear of snakes. If one is near me, I'm petrified but I can't help but stand and stare at them.

I went to Brighton today with a friend, with no intentions. Just decided on a road trip and got in the car and went to be by the sea. Both finding the sea a calming place and our favourite place to be. Having just come back from paradise, it wasn't quite the same, but it was still as close as we are going to get for the time being!
Walking along the pier, people watching and smelling the smells of hot doughnuts and seafood (!),  we came across a tarot reader and decided to go and see what he said, both not expecting much and being very light hearted about it all. Yet, a little wary in case he did actually pinpoint anything which may be true!

I picked 11 cards and they were laid out in front of me while concentrating on a small black rock and thinking of what I wanted to be spoken about. Why the black rock.. not the pretty purple or green ones?Whilst still thinking and pondering over what he might pick up on, the reading started. I was sat poker faced trying not to give anything away, thinking he is going to pick up on my body language, what my eyes are doing in reaction to his words, trying not to catch my friends eye in case I started giggling...

Immediately he went into how I over think... everything.. That recently I've been brought down by various things but I've got around that and picked everything up and am looking for a new beginning. In fact, started a new beginning. The wheel of fortune card states that things go around but it always goes from the bottom back up to the top and that is where I am at now. Yes, I'd agree with that. It also mentioned luck. I hope lots of that comes my way and he seemed to think it would!
I've put the past behind me and I'm starting to think about what I want for ME, instead of letting things around me bring me down. I can handle large problems without a care but when it comes to minor things, I can't let them go. Yes, that's one thing I find annoying! Why do I have to worry about small things which may not even be relevant!!
Things from my past may re-appear, but I can choose to put them behind me or bring them back into my life. Well, it depends what these are! There's certainly a few things I've thought quite a lot about recently that should I be able to find Doc and jump into the DeLorean and go back a while, I'd react to very differently. Here we go, back again to the "missed opportunities"!
I have new ventures and opportunities growing in my head that I am going to push forward with. Again, a new beginning. That these things will grow into a success. Well I hope so! I have ideas in my head which I have never acted upon, which I have recently, funnily enough, and they do seem to be proving successful in a way I couldn't have imagined. It's actually scaring me a little bit at how quickly these things are growing!

I can't really remember much more right now as the tarot card jargon confused me. But it was quite strange how this random guy could pinpoint my every move over the last few weeks and quite accurately give me answers to things I was thinking about and correctly analyse my personality. Were they answers? Or am I just relating a generalisation into my own certain situation. Who knows.

If anything it's reiterated what I was thinking anyway and only motivated me more to do what I need to do right now. So, at least some good came out of it! And my friend and I had a great evening chatting about it and having fun by the seaside :)
