Swords • 9
Nine of Swords
Nine swords on the wall—each a symbol of anxiety keeping you awake. Hands cover face, but you can't hide from yourself. Fears inflated in darkness to monstrous sizes, though morning will make them seem laughable. But now—it's not morning.
Dawn slowly dissolves nightmares. Swords still on the wall, but losing sharpness in daylight. Anxiety retreats—doesn't vanish, but becomes bearable. Acknowledging the problem the first step to stop fearing your own thoughts.
Three in the morning, and thoughts devour you alive. Waking nightmares worse than any dream.
