I could walk on the moon. My favourite beige jacket returned from the dry cleaners, smelling of lavender. Today was the day I’d wear it with a light blue ensemble.
I made it into the managerial job posted online. To celebrate, I’d meet two friends for lunch at Fiori’s — fancy and upmarket, but on those nights where I dined there, I enjoyed the garlic bread and fettucine.
My friends rolled up with the top down, beeping the horn. I grabbed my handbag and jumped in, talking garbage and our high school years. We compared it to now, and how I moved on up just like them.
The waiter led us to our seat, and we mulled over the menu. As this was a new step in my life, I ordered something new – tortellini boscaiola. And of course, what was a celebration without wine? We ordered a bottle of merlot, and poured our own glasses.
I tipped the bottle gently, but the wine dripped back on the neck, and spilt onto my sleeve. We laughed, but… Back to the dry cleaners.

Deck: Shadowscapes Tarot by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law & Barbara Moore
This is my second ever tarot deck. It’s super pretty in subject matter and colour — very fantastical. Going by the card descriptions, however, I’d take this as a hard deck to learn. If you have this deck and want to save some trouble, probably don’t reverse this deck.
