palmread.
i went down to chinatown with the very intention of getting my moles removed. i even transfered a hundred dollars from my savings over into my expenditure account just for it. i had planned to get a reading from a fortune teller before doing anything abrupt, better safe than sorry. i saw him and he was first attending to 3 other students, but a sign of customers is a more than decent sign. i went about and came back to him for a reading, and i got more than i ever bargained for. he advised me strictly, not to remove my moles and that it was inevitable that my lifeline was short unless i get to work and pray to the gods or sommat.
i listened intently to what he had to offer, but treating everything with a pinch of salt. i accepted the fact that he mentioned i was going to die young without much alarm. But he seemed sincerely interested in helping me avoid this calamity. I mean, if he was some flamer trying to earn money, he would have quoted me a ridiculous sum of money for one amulet, but he didn't. i sincerely don't feel like he's out on a limb to cheat my money cause he only accepted 10 bucks for my reading. he came off as sincere and genuine and most of all, concerned. but my issue is that i have doubts giving faith to something i haven't heard of at all off the bat. i left the session feeling rather different and refreshed, almost renewed from a handshake.
he's taught me to appreciate myself, though his lecture was short and direct; but the thing is, should i go ahead with what he's proposed?
eta: i realised that it all stems from fear. the very fact that i'm considering taking up his offer also stems from fear, be it whether his intentions are good or not. i'm so human.
