Sydney and Pain
Been thinking about Syd's 3 of swords tat
The Three of swords represent emotional pain, disappointment, hurt, a sorrowful experience. grief and loss, Sadness depression. it also symbolizes letting go of emotional pain. Letting the sorrow and pain transform you.
It reminds us that pain is a natural part of life and in that pain can lead to incredible growth and healing. I often explain this when I do readings for people. It's not the best card to pull, but also not the worst in the grand scheme of the universe because it's all about learning Lessons and growing from them.
We don't know Sydney's full story yet. We've seen glimpses and i'm unsure if thisis done purposely or not, but it's due time. The 3 of swords is such a poignantly poetic card and It's interesting how they've shown this tattoo in particular twice now.
Sydney's a cautious being. I don't necessarily see her as an avoider so much as someone who too has been through some shit and now is heeding caution. I hope they strip her bare next season because we're already starting to see some deeper parts.
What I have seen is how Sydney deals with pain and discomfort in using humor which is a healthy response and not avoidance. I hope they go deeper with her character. It's like we're trying figure her out like Carmy is.
She has become very guarded which looks like avoidance. She is protecting herself in some way because in Season 2 she had no problems talking about her dynamic with her dad to Carmy and thinking Emmanuel may be ashamed of her. This all stopped after she found out about Claire.
