Hi! Mamint back again with a Pick a Card General reading 🐰🐇 "If time folded and i'll met the person i'll be in a year would the person i've become thank me for how i'm living right now?"
Take a deep breath, center yourself, and pick a pile (feel free to choose more than one)🍀💖 Share is appreciated!
Hey, I just want to say this gently. I’m proud of your potential, but right now I’m still cleaning up some of the patterns you’ve been living in. Thank you for surviving the storms. Now it’s time to start living with more consistency, have clearer boundaries, and deeper self-respect.
If you do that, I’ll meet you next year with a big, grateful hug. If not… I’ll still love you, but I’ll probably be a little tired.
The good news is, the fact that you’re even asking this means you’re already waking up. Small changes starting today can turn that “not quite there yet” into a real, warm thank-you next year from me, but now I don’t fully thank you yet and I'm not giving up on you either. I just waiting patiently, for you to catch up to the person you’re meant to become.
Right now, you’re not fully grounded in your practical growth. Some opportunities are getting delayed or only half-started. I wish you had been more consistent with your small steps, your learning, and your money habits. At the moment, you’re kind of scattered. You’re dreaming a lot, but not really following through on the little things that would actually move you forward. And honestly? I’d call you out on that, but gently. Not with anger... just with a sigh.
Because I know the potential is there. You really could become stable, responsible, and successful person. I can see that version of you already, waiting just out of reach.
I’m not disappointed in you. I’m just eager for you to finally step into that energy. You have what it takes. You’re just not fully using it yet.
Something is also cracking open, or already has. Old structures, old beliefs, or situations that no longer work are starting to break apart. I’m grateful for the change, even if it’s messy, but I’m also a little tired from all the upheaval. Thank you for not running from the collapse. Now please start rebuilding smarter, and sooner.
Oof. That part is rough. There may be a big shift coming, something that shakes your whole foundation. And honestly, you might not handle it perfectly at first.
Looking back, you may think, “I really wish I had prepared better for that.” But you’d also understand that some things just have to happen before you can grow through them.
Right now, you’re also struggling with inner strength and clear boundaries. You may be too soft when you need to be firm, or too sharp when you need more compassion, especially toward yourself. Please be gentler and clearer with yourself. You needed that strength earlier.
You’re tired. You’re doubting yourself. That strong part of you that usually holds everything together feels drained right now. I see that exhaustion, and I feel for you.
But I also want to remind you that you did have more fight in you than you gave yourself credit for. You just forgot to reach for it.
Your mind is probably feeling cloudy too. Maybe you’ve been too hard on yourself, or too critical of other people. Maybe you’ve been overthinking so much that it’s freezing you in place. Looking back, I’d probably say, “Girl, I was so stuck in my own head. I really should’ve relaxed a little.”
And the relationships… yeah, that part hurts too. There’s some disconnection here. Friendships or romantic connections may feel uneven, draining, or just not very balanced.
Please protect your heart more. Stop giving so much to cups that never pour back. I wish you had chosen more mutual, reciprocal connections sooner.
You might also be feeling lonely, or a little disconnected from the people you care about. Maybe you’ve been isolating yourself, or the relationships around you feel shallow or off. Future you would feel that ache and wish you had reached out more, and let people in a little earlier.
So yeah, I see you. I know you’re struggling. I know you’re tired, overwhelmed, and a little lost. I’m not mad at you... I’ve been you.
But please start showing up for yourself. Start with the small things. Let people in. Be kinder to yourself. I’m here, one year ahead, and I need you to do the work so I can become the person we both know we’re supposed to be. You’ve got this.
Okay, I'm not gonna lie, you made me wait. You made me wait a long time. You dragged your feet, you overthought everything, you avoided the hard conversations, and you kept looking backward instead of forward. I wanted to shake you sometimes.
I’m not fully thanking you yet, because some parts of me are still waiting for you to pick up the pace and really answer the call. But I do see your strength, and I see that you want to move forward. If you clear the delays, stop getting pulled into the same old battles, and start taking clearer action now, I’ll meet you next year with real gratitude and a much lighter heart.
So keep going, just do it with more direction and less hesitation.
Right now, you feel kind of stuck in slow motion. The things that should be moving faster (your goals, your growth, your progress) are just crawling. You keep hesitating, overthinking, and waiting for the “perfect moment,” even though that moment never really comes. I look back and think, “I wish I had just started sooner. I wasted so much time waiting.” But even then, I’d still thank you for eventually getting there.
I can see that you’ve been waiting for momentum that hasn’t fully shown up yet. I wish you had pushed a little harder or cleared the blocks sooner, instead of letting everything drag on.
And honestly, this next part feels a little sad. You’re blocking your own light. You’re not fully letting yourself see the new day that’s waiting for you. Maybe you’re stuck in old habits, old pain, or old stories you keep telling yourself. I look back at that and feel a little frustrated, like, “I was right there. The sun was about to rise. Why didn’t I just open my eyes?”
But I get it. Some people take longer to recognize the dawn. You’re still in a dimmer phase, and I understand the waiting. Still, I want to gently ask you to choose the light a little more on purpose. I needed that brighter energy earlier.
But here’s the part I really admire, you’ve tried so hard to hold things together. Even when you were slow, even when you felt stuck, you never fully gave up. You kept your hands on the wheel. You kept moving, even if it was just one small step at a time. And honestly, that stubbornness matters. That’s part of what gets you through.
Even with the delays, I can see your determination and willpower. You’re still trying to guide your life forward, and I respect that. I’m grateful you didn’t completely let go of control.
I also know you can hear that inner call to become who you’re meant to be. Looking back, I’d probably say, “Yeah, I heard the call. I just didn’t answer right away.”
The fact that you heard it at all means something. It means you’re aware. You’re not sleepwalking through life, you’re just taking your time to respond. And that matters. I would thank you for listening, even if you were slow to act. This is the moment. One again please hear the call. Rise up and answer it. The choices you make now shape who I become.
Right now, you may be fighting yourself more than you’re fighting the world. You’re avoiding hard things, not just with other people, but with yourself too. You’re not facing the truths you already know you need to face, and I would probably sigh and think, “I spent so much energy running from myself. If I had just sat with the discomfort sooner…”
I also understand you were trying to protect yourself. Even if it wasn’t the most effective way, I know it came from a place of self-defense.
You’re also trying to leave something behind (a situation, a mindset, maybe even an old version of yourself) but you keep getting pulled back. You’re not fully moving on yet. I feel a little impatient, I was almost there. I was so close to letting go. Why did I keep looking back?
Still, I’d understand. Goodbyes are hard. Moving on takes time.
You’re trying to leave conflict and struggle behind, but the transition isn’t smooth yet. You’re still carrying some old tension with you. So thank you for wanting peace. Now please actually cross the water. Stop looking back so much. I need you to move forward cleaner.
Honestly, the fact that you’re asking this question already means small decisive moves starting today can turn that halfway thank-you into a real, warm one next year.
You’ve got the willpower. Use it.
So yeah. I'm a little frustrated with you. But I'm also grateful. Because without your stubbornness, without your quiet determination to keep going even when you were stuck... I wouldn't be here.
Thank you for not quitting on me. Even when it was slow. Even when it was messy. You got me here. And I love you for that
First of all, I need you to hear this clearly I’m really proud of you. Seriously. I know you probably don’t feel like you’re doing enough. I know you feel stuck, scared, tired, and like you’re falling behind. But from where I’m standing now, I can see so much more.
You’re opening your heart. You’re letting people in. And I want you to know how much that matters. I looks back on this and feels deeply grateful that you chose connection instead of isolation, that you said yes to love even when it scared you, and that you were brave enough to care. That kind of openness changed everything. I’m so thankful you didn’t shut yourself off.
But I also know you’ve had this little habit of hiding parts of yourself. Maybe you’ve been avoiding something. Maybe you’ve been trying to control things instead of really feeling them. I know you’re scared. I know you’re just trying to protect yourself. But you don’t need to play games with your own heart. Just be honest with yourself first, and with the people who matter.”
I’m not angry about it. I get it. You were trying to survive. But I do wish you had been a little more direct and a little more honest, because hiding only made the real work harder later.
Still, I also know the universe has been moving things around in the background, even when it felt chaotic or unclear.
A lot was shifting, sometimes in your favor and sometimes not in ways you could control. Thank you for trusting the process, even on the days when it didn’t make sense. Thank you for staying on the ride, even when it got bumpy. That trust got you here.
And honestly, I really admire how you’ve been trying to build a foundation. You’ve been showing up. You’ve been the steady one when everything felt shaky. You’ve been trying to create order out of chaos, and that takes real strength. You held it together, even when it felt like you couldn’t. I’m here because you did. But you also hold yourself back sometimes.
You’re not always fully stepping into your power. You play small when you could be bolder. And I wish you had been a little braver, a little more open with your fire. You have so much of it. You just kept hiding it. Still, I understand, being bright all the time takes energy, and you were tired. Thank you for surviving the burnout.
Right now, you may feel like you’re not getting what you want. Like your wishes are still too far away. I feel that sadness too. But please trust me what you want is coming. It may not arrive in the exact way you imagined, but when it does, it’ll be even better than you expected.
So thank you. Thank you for not giving up. Thank you for being soft with yourself when you couldn’t be strong. Thank you for the small, quiet things you did that nobody else noticed. They mattered. You mattered.
I love you. And I’m really glad you kept going, because now I get to be here.
I need to be honest with you, and I’m saying this with a lot of love, you have no idea how much I love you for getting me here. Really. I wouldn’t exist without you. You carried me through the hardest parts, and I’ll never forget that.
You have so much power right now. You have the tools, the potential, and the ability to build the life you want. It’s all there in your hands. And honestly, I feel a little frustrated looking back, because I know exactly what you’re capable of. You had everything you needed, you just hadn’t fully used it yet.
Still, I’m grateful. I’m grateful that you started to believe in your own strength, even if it took time. I’m grateful you began to see that you were not empty, not stuck, and not powerless. You really do have something solid in you, and I’m proud of you for starting to claim it.
And yes, you do achieve something big. You keep showing up, even when no one is cheering. You do the work. You keep going on the days when it feels pointless. And that persistence matters. It’s part of why I’m here now, looking back with so much respect. You were building success even when it was invisible.
But emotionally? You’ve been holding a lot in.
You’re not letting yourself fully feel things. You keep stuffing emotions down, acting like you’re fine when you’re not, and locking everything up tight. And that hurts to look at. I wish you had allowed yourself to cry. I wish you had let yourself fall apart when you needed to. You didn’t have to be strong all the time.
Your emotional balance is off right now, and it shows. Sometimes you withdraw. Sometimes you react from mood instead of clarity. Sometimes you don’t really lead yourself with the calm, steady heart you need. Please take better care of your emotional world. I needed that kind of quiet, clear care from you sooner.
You’re also holding back because you’re scared. You don’t want to take risks, so you play it safe, stay small, and keep both feet on the ground instead of jumping into the unknown. I get why. I really do. But looking back, I wish you had taken more chances. I wish you had been a little braver with your heart. Playing it safe kept us stuck longer than we needed to be.
And then there are the fights. A lot of the battles you were fighting honestly weren’t worth it. Sometimes you were too defensive, too competitive, too focused on being right instead of being happy. And from where I’m standing now, I can see how much energy that wasted. I’m grateful for your fighting spirit, but I also wish you had chosen your battles more wisely. Some things just weren’t worth the stress.
You’ve also been moving through a fog. Things feel unclear, heavy, and confusing, and I know that’s exhausting. I look back and feel sad that you spent so long in that haze. I wish you had asked for help sooner. I wish you had trusted your intuition more. The answers were there, you just couldn’t fully see them yet.
Some hidden feelings are still there too, waiting to come to the surface. This is the time to face them, let them move through, and stop carrying everything alone. I know you don’t want to be a burden. I know you think you have to hold everything together by yourself. But that strength came at a cost. It cost me too. I wish you had let someone catch you when you were falling.
So yes, thank you. Absolutely. Thank you for surviving. Thank you for keeping me alive. Thank you for doing the hard, invisible work that nobody else saw.
But I also need to tell you this, I wish you had been kinder to yourself. I wish you had felt more. I wish you had trusted yourself more. Because you were always stronger, braver, and more capable than you thought.
You’re closer than it feels. Keep going, but do it with more heart and less unnecessary fighting. We both deserve that. We both deserve to actually live.
I’m crying right now, not because I’m sad, but because I know. I know how much you’re carrying. I know how tired you are. I know you’re holding onto things that are already gone because letting go feels like losing a part of yourself. I know you’re giving everything to everyone else and leaving almost nothing for yourself. I know you’re standing on that shore, looking out at the horizon, wondering if anything good is ever going to come. And I need you to hear me, you’re almost there.
Right now, you’re still holding onto things that are already over, people, situations, old versions of yourself that don’t exist anymore.
You keep watching the sun go down and asking it to stay, instead of trusting that it will rise again tomorrow. Looking back, I feel tired for you. You spent so much energy holding onto what was already gone. You should have let it set and trusted the morning to come back.
But I also understand. Letting go is scary. You weren’t ready yet. Some things that should have ended naturally are still feeling unfinished and stuck. I wish you had let that sunset happen more cleanly. Holding on only made the night last longer.
And you’re pouring from an empty cup. You’re taking care of everyone else, feeling everything for everyone, carrying emotions that aren’t even yours, but you’re not really taking care of yourself. And that hurts to look at.
You gave so much of yourself away that there was barely anything left for you. I wish you had been a little more selfish. I wish you had filled your own cup first.
Thank you for your big heart. Really. But I also need you to start turning some of that love inward. You may be giving too much, pulling back too much, or not fully trusting your own feelings right now. I needed you to care for your heart more steadily. All those emotional ups and downs left some things I had to clean up later.
Still, I see that you’re looking ahead. You’re planning. You’re hoping for something bigger. Even when it feels like nothing is happening, you’re still there, staring at the horizon and waiting for your moment. And I’m grateful for that.
I’m grateful you didn’t give up on your dreams. I’m grateful you kept your eyes on the future, even when the present felt unbearable.
You’re also coming out of a hard time. Maybe you’ve felt broke, broken, or left out in the cold. But you’re starting to see the light now. You’re not fully out of it yet, but you’re not in the dark anymore either. And honestly, that gives me so much relief. I remember how cold it felt. I remember feeling like nobody was coming to save me. But you kept walking anyway. And eventually, you found warmth. Thank you for not stopping.
You’re still carrying old things too (memories, hurts, patterns you learned when you were younger) And yeah, they’re heavy. I know that. I spent too long looking backward and reliving things that were already over. I wish I had let them go sooner. But I also understand that those wounds go deep, and healing takes time. So thank you for trying, even when it felt impossible. Thank you for starting to release them. Now please finish letting them go.
Right now, your mind is working overtime. You’re overthinking everything. You’re being way too hard on yourself. You’re using logic to run away from your feelings, analyzing, rationalizing, avoiding. I look back and think, “Wow, I was really mean to myself. I thought if I could think my way through it, I wouldn’t have to feel it. But that just made everything harder.”
So thank you for trying to protect yourself. I get it. But I also need you to soften. Let your heart speak. Stop being so cruel to yourself. You don’t need to figure out every feeling before you’re allowed to have one. Be kinder. Be clearer. Your mind doesn’t need to be that sharp all the time. And yes, I’m not fully thanking you yet, because some endings, some emotional stability, and some mental clarity still needed more care. But I see you moving forward. I see you leaving the cold behind. I see you slowly turning toward the light. That matters more than you know.
So please keep going. Let some things go. Stop holding onto what’s already over. Stop being your own worst enemy. You deserve softness. You deserve rest. You deserve to be held.
I love you. I’m proud of you. And I’m so grateful you kept going, because I’m here now because of you.
Thank you for holding this new opportunity and for staying strong when things got hard. That really matters. It helps me. But I need you to start letting go of what’s tying you down, protect that spark inside you, and let a little more hope back in.
If you can break free from that heavy grip and care for both the practical side of your life and your inner light, I’ll meet you next year feeling lighter, and much more grateful.
Right now, you’ve got a spark in you. There’s fire, excitement, and energy around something new, but you’re keeping it locked inside. You’re holding back because it feels safer that way. Looking back, I’d probably feel a little impatient, like, “I had all this passion, and I just sat on it. I could have started so much sooner.” But I also understand. Fear is real, and maybe you just weren’t ready to shine yet.
Still, thank you for keeping that spark alive, even if you kept it hidden.
I can also see that the seed for something real was planted here that could actually last. And I’m grateful you noticed it, even if you didn’t fully grab it yet. You saw the door open. You didn’t walk through right away, but you saw it. And that mattered.
You’re also exhausted. You’ve been through a lot, and you’re running on empty, but you’re still standing. You’re still holding your ground. I look back on that with so much respect. You were tired. You wanted to give up more than once. But you didn’t. You kept your shield up. You kept going. And I’m here because of that.
Thank you for not dropping your guard. But I also know you may be stuck in a toxic pattern, a habit that keeps pulling you back, or a situation that feels like chains around you. Maybe it’s overthinking, people-pleasing, procrastination, or staying in something that isn’t good for you. I look back and feel frustrated, because I can see how stuck you were. You kept repeating the same things and wondering why nothing changed.
What you’re still tied to is adding extra weight I had to carry later. Freedom would have helped me so much more. But I’m glad you finally started noticing the chains, because that was the first step.
You are moving forward, just very slowly. Painfully slowly sometimes. But moving forward is still forward. And I want to thank you for showing up every day, even when it felt boring or pointless. For doing the small, quiet things that actually built the foundation. For being patient with yourself. It wasn’t fast. It wasn’t flashy. But it was real. And that steady effort got me here.
I also know you’ve been losing sight of hope a little. You’ve been feeling disconnected from your dreams and wondering if things will ever get better. I feel a lot of compassion for that. I know hope can feel far away, even stupid sometimes. But it was still there. It was always there.
So thank you for not completely giving up on it. And I know you’ve felt trapped in patterns that seemed impossible to break. I know you were scared, hurting, and couldn’t see a way out. But you eventually did. You eventually saw those chains for what they were. And that was the beginning.
It took you a while to get here. It was slow... really slow. And yes, sometimes I wish you had moved faster. But I understand. You were healing. You were surviving. And you got me here anyway, even if it took longer than it should have. So yes, I thank you. I love you. I’m proud of you. But please, starting now, let yourself shine a little more. Grab the opportunities in front of you. Break the cycles. Keep choosing hope, even if you can only hold a little of it at first.
You deserve to live fully, not just survive. And I’m ready for you to catch up to me.
