You are learning to roll with the universe.
The Wheel of Fortune represents the interplay of fate and free will, especially pertinent in matters of love.

We cant change peoples feelings, and sometimes outside events will interrupt our plans.
Whether The Wheel gives us a good or bad turn, the trick is to seek the silver lining.

Embrace your truth so you’re able to show up more authentically in your relationships with others.

In the style of Selman, try writing short notes packed with raw emotion.
