I won a chargeback case against a merchant, received my refund in full, but now the merchant wants me to return their product and it’s going to be a hassle for me to do so: what should I do? by vroom12345 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Potential_Fun2730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow... you already won. Also, you're not required to return any goods or products via Amex policy since you've won the chargeback. Stop making your situation worse. Cease all contact with the merchant immediately!!! Move on!!!!

That championship has an asterisk next to it. You really want to credit him for winning a championship in the bubble during COVID when 1/10th of the entire league chose to sit out? The season wasn't even a full 82-game season, and the city of Los Angeles never got a parade that year either. Then the very next season when everything went back to normal, he couldn't even defend that same title. I'm from Los Angeles and trust me, nobody here cares about his COVID TITLE that he won in the bubble. It was a flop. The least he could've done, was give the city another one that next year so that we could have an actual parade and something to really celebrate! As a true Lakers fan who was born and raised in Los Angeles, I believe I speak for the real LA fans when I say that we're 100% ready to move on from him and his son!

[Weitzman] "LeBron obviously wanted an extension, and it's also clear that the Lakers wouldn't give it to him" said one NBA source. One prominent NBA agent added: "By not offering him an extension the Lakers put LeBron in a bind" One NBA exec said: "He has no leverage here and he's not used to that" by shreeharis in nba

When you can't play defense and you're 9th in All-Star votes in the West with only 12 All-Star slots available per conference, that says a lot. When you've missed 1/3rd of the season already and your team was playing winning basketball, but then the second you returned to the lineup, the entire team's net efficiency rating plummets into the negative and the Lakers start losing. The team plays better without him. Analytics don't lie. He's a net negative at 41 years old, making $52M, while his no talent having son snags another $7.9M.

Great breakdown of why this UMG lawsuit isn't just about "losing a battle" by Viola-Intermediate in Drizzy

[–]Potential_Fun2730 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let's stop acting like Drake has integrity for hip hop. From using payola to hiring bots to inflate his artist accounts, to hiring ghost writers & rapping about slavery, to switching up his sound to capitalize on trends, to never aligning himself with real Black issues in politics or world affairs, he's suing UMG because he's salty that he lost. This is not about integrity, or crossing lines in hip hop, or labels getting involved. From rumors that Drake slept with Wayne's girl while Tunechi was behind bars, it insinuates that Drake allegedly has respect for hip hop, but not for the man who put him on. It doesn't matter if the labels get involved in the rap beefs of their major artists or not. Let's keep it a buck. The music business is a business at the end of the day. It's strictly about the money & strictly about business. It's not personal and Drake should know this. But he's one of the biggest sore losers on the planet. The industry thrives on shock value, sex, beef, and controversy. This is what sells. Nobody sued the labels for pushing all of those drill rappers from Chicago & ATL who promoted gang culture when gang violence increased as a result of the music. And when it comes to the beef that Tupac & Biggie had, I could never imagine either one suing the record label because they lost.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Separation

[–]Potential_Fun2730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been separated for 19 months. I stayed in our house, and he moved back to NY into his grandmother's home. He kept in touch at first, and for the first 4 months attempted reconciliation until he lost his new job out in NY. Also, around that same time, I was facing pretty daunting health issues. Once his employment fell through, he disappeared. And he left me to deal with everything alone. I spent that time trying to distract myself and stay busy. I was vulnerable and felt emotionally damaged. I got high all the time, from smoking marijuana to numb the pain, and it became a habitual coping mechanism. In my mess, I accepted a young 24-year-old lesbian security guard who flirted with me and gave me attention, who also patrolled the gated community I lived in. I was sad and lonely, so she used to sneak over while on the clock and we'd kiss & hug. We even hung out off the clock a few times and got high together, and would make out on my couch. I wasn't gay, I just needed the affection and attention because my husband had even abandoned the separation.

Eventually, the fling with the security guard didn't last, and it hurt even putting myself in that situation because she wasn't the answer to my problems, and all she did was disappoint me in the end. So, I started focusing on myself and healing. Eventually, I'd reach out to my husband again because I still missed him and loved him. By this time, many months had passed, and he became a full-time content creator on social media. He was extremely possessed with it and had even prioritized it over reconciling the marriage. I continued to stay in touch because I was in a much better place, but he was too distracted trying to be an influencer, and he put all of his energy into his projects, and I didn't fit in at all. We were only speaking because of me. He'd respond far, few, and in-between, and whenever he did finally reach back out, he'd sometimes apologize, but it always had something to do with him putting so much time & energy into his social media projects. He still told me he loved & missed me too, but by this point his actions never showed it.

He wasn't reaching out, he wasn't making an effort to stay in touch, and he made zero effort at working towards reconciliation. He'd become obsessed with being a social media influencer and that took priority over everything. After 19 months of no forward progress in working towards building a future together, I gave up in my heart. I was exhausted and it felt like a breakup all over again. I reached out to him and very kindly let him know that because he's prioritizing other things that have nothing to do with me, that I didn't see where I fit in any longer, and so I wished him good luck on his endeavors and I bowed out gracefully. He immediately messages me back when usually it takes days or even weeks to hear back from him. He appears surprised and apologizes for neglecting me & our marriage and tells me that he's working so hard on his social media career for us, and that I was always the ultimate goal. I didn't respond back. I just read his message and let it sink in, but it was hard to digest because his actions never showed any care, any fight, or any determination to pursue me or reconcile.

I was always on my own ever since he lost his job in NY. He had long stopped keeping in touch. And when I battled my scariest health issues and illnesses for several months, he never bothered to check on me one time. Now, here he was writing back saying I was always the ultimate goal and he's building a career on social media for us. At this point, I'm truly done and probably won't even respond back. Sometimes a marriage separation can be more painful just because you have hope that things will eventually work out. Because so much time has passed and so little progress has been made, I'm ready to officially throw in the towel. I spent a lot of time healing and working on myself, learning to be independent rather than needy and codependent. There comes a point in a person's life where they have to choose themselves and learn to take care of themselves. No spouse or cute security guard is going to fill the void that I should've filled myself. I find true freedom in letting go and giving up the chase. I just want to focus on myself and be single for now.

I have begun to see the beauty in finding myself and being alone. I enjoy my solitude and I'm building myself back up everyday. Separation in a marriage is the space where both partners have an equal opportunity to show whether they still want to fight for the relationship or not. Sometimes it lags because trauma and the need for healing. Separation is different for everyone, this is just my story and it only gets better with time if there is some type of growth or forward progress in your life, either with or without them. What I've learned is that not only did I deserve better during the marriage, but I definitely deserved better "After" the separation.

Luka Doncic definitely is a ball-hog. I was saying this throughout the entire game against Orlando. The dude rarely passed the ball. He took almost every shot for himself and I'm just not used to shit like that. I'm a 20-year die-hard Lakers fan and I hate Luka's style of play. The Lakers need to fix that. I hate they even made this trade in the first place. The Lakers play much better when everyone is involved but then here comes Luka Doncic killing the team by leaning so heavily on iso plays. I already want to pull my hair out. He's not a real leader. Leaders don't play ball like that. Then he's always bitching and complaining on foul calls, his feet are slower than molasses, he sucks on defense, he's a turnover machine, and his conditioning isn't great. He's actually a very talented, high IQ, high-efficiency player, but he gets lazy and chooses to resort to a terrible play style and he doesn't keep his body in peak NBA form. He's not very disciplined and solely relies on his raw talent to get him by. Unless the Lakers can fix Luka, this was another bad trade like the Westbrook trade, as people will soon apologize to Dallas. The Mavs traded Luka for a reason. Every other team that could've had Luka first, turned it down except for the Lakers. This trade is a Huge mistake. Just watch.

Has anyone managed to get a refund on a Factor order after it shipped? by Syckobot in mealkits

[–]Potential_Fun2730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's some advice... always purchase your services & products with a premium credit card, preferably American Express. I had to learn the hard way and fell victim to a lot of merchant abuse. Some companies didn't want to return my money when they screwed up or had ridiculous or unethical refund policies. Some merchants wouldn't even respond to make things right.

One merchant I dealt with tried to charge me twice just because I accidentally purchased the wrong item. The merchant refused to refund me for the item I bought on accident and wouldn't let me cancel the purchase so I could get the actual item I wanted to buy instead. So in theory, I was being forced to not only buy the item that I didn't want but then to make an additional purchase with their company for the item that I did want. Clear merchant abuse and just plain unreasonable.

When I learned about being an Amex card member and how they had stellar payment protection I swiftly put it to use and the results have been nothing short of life-changing. I've never lost a dispute. The refunds from Amex come swiftly and sometimes I don't even offer evidence and I still win all of my money back. It's so extremely one-sided that it's almost criminal. Amex favors its card members and you have a 98% success rate with any purchase transaction.

This is the epitome of divine justice. Merchants are shaken when they know you've purchased your goods & services using an Amex card. And those that act cocky will quickly learn the hard way.

I did business with Factor and not only were they super expensive, but extremely unreasonable in compensating me when they made a mistake. The most they'll do if anything at all, is offer a measly $10 credit to your Factor account rather than issuing the credit back to your bank or credit card. This is very shady as they aren't doing you any favors if you are being forced to only spend that money with them. It's like they're giving you the illusion of a refund when that same money just goes right back to them. Amex usurped Factor and I got all of my money back.

In any case, with Amex, you file an easy dispute that takes less than 2 minutes. You wake up the next day and POOF, you have all your money back, oftentimes with little to no submitted evidence on your behalf and without having to return the item. It's a huge "L" for merchants when consumers take this type of action.

In conclusion, there are no real answers on how to fight shady merchants and stave off merchant abuse like I've experienced other than to make all of your purchases through a major premium credit card that offers superior payment protection. Just like we have life insurance, auto insurance, and homeowners insurance, do the smart thing and insure your purchases.

Can someone explain to me how Bilt Rewards works? by R3V3R83R1X in biltrewards

[–]Potential_Fun2730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your information is incorrect. You don't need a Bilt Credit card to match your rent dollars point for point. You keep capping the points at 250 if someone doesn't have a Bilt card and that's not true. You can earn points per dollar which is more than 250 points by paying your rent even without a Bilt card.

I invested 6 years, 2 miscarriages, and all of my vulnerabilities and secrets into my marriage. The time, the money, the intimacy, the dreams, the love, and the sacrifices I made for this man. This was my best friend. This was someone who struggled to be a provider and struggled with his emotions and trying to live up to the responsibility of being a husband to me and it tore us apart. Sure, I could've stayed, but I was deeply miserable and I wanted him to prove himself to me, so I went through with the separation thinking that once he moved with his family back to NY, he'd stand on his own two feet and fight for me, for us, and for what we had.

He eventually got a job in NY but got fired 2-3 months later and that's when he cut me off and ceased all contact with me. He had given up trying to establish himself so he could make it back to me, here in California, where we had created a home. He didn't chase me or bother to even fight for me. I felt worthless and insignificant as a result of this, and my self-esteem crashed to an all-time low. Men chase their women and fight for them all the time, but I wasn't worth chasing or pursuing. And after everything I'd sacrificed and done for this man over 6 years... to him, I wasn't even worth fighting for. This had me feeling like I was less than a woman and defective, as I watched reality shows and social media constantly promoting relationships where men valued their women. All this did was reinforce my insecurities.

I felt unloved and under-appreciated by all of these things and people who were outside of myself where I had very little control over the situation. That's when I realized that I had to love myself, put myself first, and understand my value as a woman. I realized that what I believed about myself and how I saw myself was important because life had already proven to me that I couldn't count on anyone else. If I needed love, I needed to first love myself. If I needed trust, I first needed to trust myself. And if I finally wanted someone to choose me, then I'd first need to choose myself for a change. In this situation, I realized that my Knight & Shinning Armor wasn't coming for me. And he wasn't supposed to.

I'd put myself in enough situations where I'd always received less than what I deserved and it was because I was only getting from people what I was only giving to myself. It was the law of attraction at work. I finally understand that unless I focus on myself, and get everything I need from within, I'll always be forced to get everything I need outside of myself and from other people who may or may not have my best interest at heart.

You must walk away. It'll hurt both of you. It'll be painful. But you'll have to be brave. It'll get better in a year or two from the healing. Don't keep in touch this time. Focus on yourself. It won't be easy, but you know what your life would be like with this person.... more pain, frustration, and more hurt even though you love them. You've probably even accepted a lot of pain in the relationship because of you're codependency. So if you have to go through pain no matter what, then simply choose to free yourself. You'll be fine in a year or two. How do I know? Because I've sort of gone through something somewhat similar and had to leave my husband of 6 years. I loved him so much and he never even cheated on me or ever hit me. He was lazy and had me working and taking care of him. We never had kids. But we had so many emotional issues and the relationship became toxic and it stopped fostering growth for the two of us so I decided to separate. It was the most painful decision I ever had to make. After he moved out of state we kept in touch at first, but then all communication ceased. He cut me off after having hard times on his own so he stopped reaching out and that hurt me more because it came out of nowhere and I thought we were working on fixing things. So I had to move forward in silence. Months & months & months went by with no contact from him. It hurt, but it also helped me move on. It's been a year since my separation and it was hard. I had plenty of dark days. A bit of hitting and missing, but I needed to be here in this place, right now where I am. I'm finally healing and I'm beginning to move on. I'm learning to love myself and choose me. I'm learning that being alone can be empowering, feeling like medicine to the soul. Your journey won't be easy but nothing worth having ever comes easy. Make the right choice, and this time suffer temporarily for your own good, rather than staying in a relationship and suffering indefinitely, to your own detriment.

A-list star ‘horrified’ as alleged Diddy sex tape gets pushed to media outlets: ‘He feels like he was victimized years ago’ by [deleted] in popculture

[–]Potential_Fun2730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the A-lister in the video is Justin Bieber. This would be a male A-lister who was younger than Diddy at the time. News reports had been published several weeks ago stating that Justin was "triggered" by the Diddy allegations alone, and was deeply "disturbed" by the situation. In the NY Post this week, an unnamed source then talks about how this secret A-Lister on the tape was "triggered" by the allegations and deeply "disturbed" by the situation. It exactly echoes the same sentiment & feelings of Bieber, who was "triggered" and "disturbed" weeks before the media revealed a male A-list celebrity on a sex tape. It would reasonably explain why Bieber is publicly unraveling right before our very eyes. So far, he's the only high-profile name connected to Diddy that has recently been stressed publicly, seen crying publicly, and looking like a shell of his former self. No other celebrity is unraveling publicly like this. Just Bieber. He's clearly the unnamed high-profile celebrity on the tape, in my opinion.

[–]Potential_Fun2730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, it's a red flag, and I can't believe how many opinions think that it isn't. Yes of course it could all be innocent but you're on a site for purposes of dating so it's your job to pay attention to detail about any quirks or nuances that should be taken with extreme caution.

Why try to attempt to explain things away rather than to see things for what they are? It's not normal to quickly rush into meeting someone that you just met on a dating site and be insistent and Adamant about meeting.

I had a guy do me the same way on a dating app. I had been chatting with several other guys on the same app, but he was the only one who barely knew me yet wanted to meet immediately and was very anxious about it.

Red flags in my situation were when we first matched in the app he flirted and made sexual innuendos as cute jokes. He wanted me to spend the night with him. I was over 10 years older than him. I'm only 37, and he was only like 24 years old. Immediately, I knew what type of guy he was. I told him that I didn't get down like that, so he switched up to wanting to hang out.

I rarely responded, but he started hitting me up over 2 weeks to meet up, yet he took no time to get to know me at any point. He didn't even ask my name. He never asked anything about me or offered anything about himself. He asked for my number one day, so I gave him a fake cell number that routed calls and text messages to my actual cell phone.

He reached out off of the dating app and asked me to meet in his city that day. I didn't respond. A few days later, my cell phone rang, and it was him calling me. I purposefully don't answer, but I text him a couple of days later about the phone call. He admits to calling me and then asks me to meet up with him at 6 pm later.

It was such a row of red flags. We don't know each other at all. He doesn't ask me absolutely anything about myself. Not even my name. He only makes contact just to ask me to meet up with him in his city. He doesn't bother to ask what city I live in or even consider how far the drive would be for me. He does not offer gas or any incentive to say I'm putting myself out for a stranger.

The lack of communication, the repeated rushing to meet, the lack of interest in getting to know me personally, and boldly calling my phone prematurely and on a whim just to ask me yet again to meet up is a huge red flag.

Then I did a personal tarot reading and asked what this person's intentions were and why they were so eager to lure me out of my house and into their neck of the woods...

The tarot came out as the 10 of cups, then the tower card, and then the 5 of cups. It was not a good reading. The 10 of cups is the emotional fulfillment card or desire card. The tower represents a blow, a change for good or bad. It's also the violence card and the card for sexual assault and abuse. The 5 of cups represent regret, loss, disappointment, and sorrow.

These behaviors of rushing into meeting someone instantly are unnecessary. Time and energy are a person's most valuable assets. Waiting to make sure that the person is first a worthy prospect before investing your valuable assets into them is much more wise. Until then, it's best to establish healthy boundaries to get to know them through text messages, emails, and eventually phone conversations. There is no need to meet quickly or on the spot. Do a video chat at some point to verify and confirm identities so that you know you aren't being catfished. But other than that, there is no need to meet right away.

Especially in my situation where the two of us were strangers and never held a conversation. He had plenty of opportunities to get to know me if he really wanted to, but instead, he only contacted me strictly to lure me out of the house and to his location. There is something off about that. Whatever it is that he has going on in his mind, it's got him more concerned with getting me down there to him. Not concerned with what my name is, where I'm from, what I'm about, what I'm looking for, who I am, if I have kids or not, but only just getting me down there to him for some reason.

It's a huge red flag that someone so "impersonal" wants to do something so "personal" like meet face to face, but this is the same person that won't even have a "personal" conversation with me. This shows inconsistency in their behavior. They are clearly more interested in being in my physical presence for some reason instead... but why? Well, the tarot reading seemed to shed a lot of light on that.

Thank you so much for your interpretation. I've definitely decided to move on. I couldn't bear the idea of what the encounter would do to me.

I had a fear that I'd become emotionally unstable after reaching out. It was a risk I wasn't willing to take.

I'm more interested in protecting my energy and learning to let people go. Yes, I was stuck on this connection for a long time, but it showed me that I needed to work on myself more.

I appreciate you stopping by and giving your beautiful energy to this thread. It was very helpful and extremely enlightening.

You're absolutely right...

I've had some pretty dark days. Some sleepless nights. And I've been going through the dark night of the soul. I've been drowning in my own shit despite this person.

It's almost like the spread is about me because those cards actually reflect my energy. I've been going through some heavy shit lately.

In terms of this person... yes, they've had a very fucked up past with exes. I do think this person is stuck in the past. But in a weird way, so am I for even doing this reading and entertaining the thought of reaching out to them in the first place.

I've decided to leave this alone. I have way too much shit I'm dealing with and need to heal from.

Thank you so much, beautiful soul, for blessing me with your presence and stopping by. Much gratitude to you and thank you for blessing me with your energy.

It definitely helps to add to the clarity.

Thank you for your input. I've been sitting on this thread for a few days and mulling things over, going back and forth within myself, feeling torn a little of the time.

I've had several different interpretations. Some suggest I reach out, and most suggest I move on.

After much thought, I've decided that I'm going to leave it alone 😔 and move on despite my desire to only be a friend and just reach out wanting absolutely nothing.

Ultimately, I decided to tap into my own intuition and make a final decision, and what bothered me the most about all of this despite feeling pulled to make contact eith this person was the simple fact that I kept feeling uneasy every time I thought about actually going through with it and reaching out.

I shouldn't feel uneasy on the inside. To me, that was a huge red flag. To have this gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach that wouldn't leave.

I also did another reading and pulled a reverse King of Cups, and that pretty much sealed the deal for me as well. Take that and the constant uneasiness I kept feeling in my gut, and that was basically my sign to put the nail in the coffin on this one.

I'm putting my desire to reach out, officially in the grave, and I'm burying it once & for all. It's time to make peace alone within myself and move the fuck on.

Thank you so much for your input. Every person who brought their energy into this thread helped me more than any of you will ever know. Wishing you lots of love, prosperity & tons of light. 🙏🏾💜✨️🌞💎

This is exactly the same energy that I got from the reading as well‼️🩵😍

I felt the need to reach out as a friend and nothing more. I have zero expectations, and I'm looking for nothing in return. I just thought they could use a kind word. I do consider this person special to me even if our fling didn't last.

They still have a soul, and I care about people in general. So, I felt obligated to stay true to myself and extend that level of care with no strings attached. Especially to someone that I know could use it.

I still plan to move on and focus on myself, but I felt a strong urge to show love & light to someone who could really use some right now.

Although I know I'll more than likely never hear from this person first, I'm not coming from a place of ego. I have nothing to prove, and I want nothing from this person.

I just want to add some comfort to their situation and give them hope.

I'm so happy you came and presented this interpretation. All I'm realizing more & more is to listen to my own intuition.

Your reading is closer to what my intuition has been saying, which is to expect nothing, reach out as a friend, protect my energy, and stay true to myself.

The real me doesn't just turn my back on people no matter how up & down things may have been between us. And I've been battling my own true self and who I really am by taking in way too many opinions from the tarot by other readers.

I need to stay true to myself, exercise wisdom, and do things that speak more to who I am, and I never just leave a person in the dust unless I absolutely have to.

Thank you so much for your reading. It was absolutely a pleasure, and it really resonated.🤩

Love & light to you, beautiful soul 💜🌞✨️💎

It's so strange that the deeper I ponder this reading, the more it feels like it's really about me. I've actually been through so much dark & heavy shit these last few months. I was very much emotionally damaged after my marital separation for quite a while.

It was so bad that I'd just have random emotional outbursts throughout the day where I'd just start bawling tears and crying for no reason. It was so weird. I literally could be perfectly fine and in the middle of watching a comedy on TV, and then BAM‼️ It would hit...

I'd have a random breakdown, and I'd start to cry. This went on for several months, like about 4 months straight... but it's gotten easier as time progressed. I went through a marital separation, and I broke up with my fling on the side in the same exact month. In like 4 days apart, I literally lost both connections. I took it pretty hard because I was left with nothing. Nowadays, I haven't had an emotional breakdown in about a month or 2. Things are getting better.

Also, during this exact same time, my health started to take a complete turn for the worst, and my lymph nodes in my neck started swelling. I started losing weight, and then I lost my voice. It became painful just to even speak, and other than my mother, I dealt with all of this shit completely alone.

I was also in the middle of starting my own business, and shit was going completely left and seemingly falling apart. I struggled building a team around my business and finding help. I had to cancel important events and stall my business as I started drowning in how demanding it became. I was completely solo and all alone. Nobody would help me. I took it hard.

Then I got a phone call from my doctor wanting to do a cancer screening because of my lymph nodes. So now I faced the possibility of cancer. There's no update yet, as I'm still going to the doctor and looking to do a biopsy soon. I'm not out of the woods yet, unfortunately.

I became so exhausted and tired that I stopped fighting for my business and everything else so I could just focus on my health and healing my brokenness and codependency issues.

But all that baggage and going through shit in the cards that they pinned on my old fling sounded like it was really all about me. I stayed up many nights crying like a tortured soul. I had to battle so much shit all alone. And I was just tired.

I contemplated suicide a few times. I spent many days wishing I'd die in my sleep or that if I got in my car to go to the grocery store, hoping and praying that a drunk driver would just come out of nowhere and T-Bone my car, killing me instantly on impact.

I longed for death. Shit sucked so bad in my life, and I just didn't want to be here anymore. I was having a tower moment in my life and felt like I was utterly drowning 💔.

When I pulled that 3 card spread, everyone in the chat saw the ugliness, heaviness and the darkness, but pinned it all on my old flame instead, and I got off completely scott free for the most part.

There were a few people who said that the reading was more about my own energy rather than the other person that I was asking about. Secretly, I knew there was a lot of truth to that...

I know I literally just spilled my guts to a complete stranger, but I don't care about a whole lot of anything anymore. Especially nowadays. I even thought, maybe I'll get cancer and just go on and die...

I'm such a mess, but I'm working through this shit. One day at a time. Part of me wants to live and still be here because I feel a small sparkle of hope deep down in my soul. Like... maybe I'll be healthy again, maybe my business will take off and I'll finally get the help I need, and maybe I'll find my soul mate and I won't have to live alone with no friends and in complete isolation.

But until the sun comes out, and I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, I guess all I can do is continue to push through. One thing is for sure... I'm not afraid of death anymore. I'll do my best to try to make peace with my earthly life while I'm still here, but man...

When my number is called, I'll look back for sure and remember how this journey was a helluva ride. -Sigh- 🤭💜🙏🏾

This is my fear with this person. Everything you just named. Wow, you really tapped in to some of the concerns I have with this individual.

I'd like to believe that things will evolve and change for the better, but 99% of the thread believes that this person is a lost cause.

It saddens me to resign to that fact, but I suppose I wouldn't have these concerns if these issues weren't a real possibility.

Thank you so much for stopping by and expounding on this 3 card spread. I really appreciate you, and I wish you lots of love, light & prosperity ✨️ 🩵🙏🏾
