Beauty is in the eyes of the reader

There is about a half a year I’m watching every weekend the astrological predictions of a renowned Romanian that calls herself Urania. Her predictions are quite accurate, or at least you can recognize yourself in them. At the beginning of this year I was in a bad state of mind and I told to myself that I have to change this. So every single minute when I was unhappy of something I said to myself that everything is happening with a reason and if I’m miserable is just because I don’t see the other small things around me that are nice. After few days I felt better. And when the predictions where in the air again I was disappointed as Urania was explaining that the week will be like the one I just lived. “More?” but the week wasn’t at all like she said.

The next week I was more curious to hear her. Again she “predicted” the week I just lived. That happened about 4-5 week in a row. “It’s so weird” I said to myself. I don’t really believe horoscopes or fortune telling even I do successfully read cards for others. I think the future is like you want it to be, like you imagine and like you work out to be. But it was like she really was reading a future that inexplicably happened already. Some small highly improbable things were mentioned as they really happened. The single explanation for me was just that I didn’t wait for “favorable stars” but just made it happen.

When life accelerated for me, I kept listen to her to see how good she is. But of course, I sometimes forgot about it. Each time I try to imagine the impact of the words on a depressed person versus a happy one. This is because I have a friend in the same sign that said Urania is always pessimistic in her predictions and I couldn’t see there anything but realism. It’s interesting how same words could predict disaster for one person and a interesting life for another. I noticed that even on myself. I try to take only the good things but paying attention to the bad ones. My friend probably is taking only the bad things as if would be another burden to deal with.

Well, for about a month I was to busy to lose time with something so unimportant as horoscopes! But today I remembered so I watched the predictions for the next week. Then I said to myself “what about last week?” so I searched youtube and have found it. Amazingly Urania talked about many trips, long boring tiring walks for most of the week. More, these walks/trips will lead to nothing. Amazingly because I did do long walks, even hurt my feet, got muscle fever and they were without a precise purpose!

BUT! I had the time of my life, being in Istanbul, meeting some great people, chit-chatting and enjoying every minute. Even now, after a week, my feet are still hurting but it’s such a sweet reminder of those “long exhausting” walks. When I planned the trip I was sure it would be enjoyable but I didn’t expected to feel so good. Even the weather was so fine although the forecast announced rain and clouds.

After seeing those predictions I instantly remembered something I’ve read on Ali Yıldırım’s blog “Beauty is in the eyes of the reader”. Yes, I could’ve complain about feet aches, exhaustion and lack of sleep but looking back at the end of the day, a large smile was appearing on my face, erasing the pains and tiredness. I slept like a baby every night and woke up early in the morning cause there was so much more to see and do. So much more to feel.
