belief strangled with hopes & dreams

I had my tarot cards read in Vegas this week by a guy named Eric. He was pretty good and on point with everything he said about me. And I myself being a believer of some kind of clairvoyant magic was stricken with an expressionless face, so as to hope to give him no signs that he was right. But he was. I think some people have a gift for stuff like this even if it is some voodoo magic shit. He said one thing that I did not like/ did not want to be true for my future. Now this of course turned me off. And I didn't want to believe anymore that this silly pack of cards actually held some insight into my future. Though for instance if he had said what I wanted to hear then I would've been more partial and accept to my imminent future. But with chances like that in a tarot card deck you're bound to be disappointed. Not everyone can have their cake and eat it too. Truthfully I don't even understand how tarots work. Are some cosmic forces telling the cards what my future holds? How would cosmic forces even know about me or my future. Maybe it's all a bunch of bullshit to rob ignorant people of their money. Maybe that goes for religion in some way too. But I mentioned , briefly this situation to my dear friend casey and he said, " life isn't planned out for you, things aren't waiting to happen, but you must make them happen." I think he's right. I can doubt this tarot guy reader all I want but the thing is maybe somehow the cards do hold this specific truth and I just don't want to accept it. Either way I am afraid he's right. Not afraid just sad, I thought for once I felt a connection but maybe my infatuation is getting the best of me... again.
