August Challenge Day 8 ~
What is your guilty pleasure? Any vices? We're all friends here, don't hold back!
Emrys beat me to it but I also don't like the phrase 'guilty pleasure'. I think it reinforces negative self talk. If you enjoy something and you're not hurting anybody, I don't think you should be ashamed.
Having said that, in the context of enjoying something that always gets a 'pfft' out of people, what I enjoy and actually practise is tarot and astrology, the last collection of books I didn't mention yesterday lol
@American fan and other Stays might be interested today's short story.
Last year, I dabbled a little with kpop bands and fell into the Stay fandom. For fun, I decided to use Stray Kids as a test subject for my readings and posted to twitter, now X. In March I made 3 big predictions and they all happened LOL the first one was illness. Han Seugnmin got food poisoning but considering the job, that's a pasta on the wall prediction. The second was Felix, there was a lot of very heavy, death energy around Felix, to the point i felt physically stressed and i was a little worried about him but decided it was for the most part transformational death but he had an actual death. One of those readings I don't like being right about. And lastly, and the funniest, was that Chan would need to be quiet. In both tarot and his astro, with the Venus retrograde last summer, the man needed to be quiet and work on himself. I even said he should take a break from channies room. And oh boy, Stays did not like that. I was getting flagged and blocked as an ugly hater because Chan is already very picked on and I get it, but his synastry with the band has his mercury in a very compromised position and he really needs to watch what he says. And I was right when July rolled in LOL
I dont do that anymore though and my account has since been deleted or I might get cyber punched off the internet lol kpop fans are terrifying lol Ive gone back to just on myself but it can be enlighteningpractise on celebrities. Just don't share it lol
Would also like to add that's it unfortunate that tarot and astrology are tools for crooks as I have found them to be great tools in self reflection. Both practices originated within spiritual schools of thoughts so I don't like seeing them being used for other means.
I didn't think that maybe guilty pleasure and vice might have meant two separate things but I'm seeing other replies doing so I'll just add because Im nursing a headache and scrolling through my phone lol my vice/addiction is tea. Irish black tea with milk, no sugar. I'm pretty sure I'll die with a cup in my hand lol I do drink green and herbal tea as wellbut they don't quite hit the spot. Also crisps or potato chips. Not as bad as I use to be but they are always a terrible addiction.
