how come I can talk to spirits, but not people. this party is boring.

This party is overwhelming. There are so many people. I feel so crowded in these spaces. How come I can talk to spirits but not people.

It’s just my mood I guess. I can be so painfully shy sometimes, even though I'm getting better. In a small conversation though I come to life. Driving to this party, I knew I was going to meet someone who would be really into what I do and that it was important to talk about it. But this was a party full of professors. “What do you do?” “I’m an intuitive. I am a psychic and help people connect with their natural intuition.” “Oh. So I’m writing this book right now about linguistics.” Most of the time people are curious. Not so much tonight. Fine by me. I guess I could tell them I’m a dog trainer, or a chef, just for fun. Nah.

Then a guy says, “My friend is really going to want to talk to you. But I’m warning you. He’s going to try to talk you out of what you do because he’s very religious.” Aha. There he is. I knew someone was here. An hour later, this marine opened up about his exposure to negative spirits as a child and how it is so bad. I shared so many lovely, joyful stories about my intuitive experiences.

I reminded him psychics are just people:

• There are lawyers who’ll steal your money, and lawyers that will work tirelessly to defend and protect you.
• There are surgeons who wouldn’t think twice about cutting you open because they want to. And there are surgeons who’d happily say you just need some rehab.
• There are priests who rape children. There are priests that are true servants of love.
• Same with psychics. Some are doing good work. Some negative. They’re just people.

You decide who you want to tune into. It’s up to you.

We shared lovely stories that night. And for a bonus he went up to my boyfriend and told him I am a truly amazing woman and he’s lucky to have me and shouldn’t let me go. Bonus. Ding. Thanks.
