Word of the Day: 4:30

よじはん・ thirty minutes past four.

By Kayla McIntoshPublished about 6 hours ago 3 min read

I remember when my intuition first kicked in. I kept hearing the numbers 4:30 in my head. I had no idea what it meant and I even looked up the Bible to see if there was a passage related to that.

Ephesians 4:30 says, "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption"

Basically it was some sort of warning from God not to fuck things up but just as I found that out my mom's friend called to say she was coming over at 4:30.

I wasn't able huge fan of her but I also didn't believe she was worthy of all the ridicule she received. Sure she's a little airhead but listening to my mom air out all her traumas to her other friends made me realize my mom wasn't actually a good friend. I am not immune to saying stupid shit about people but.. ridiculing someone's lowest point is.. evil. She's most likely jealous of her since she ended up doing really well for herself despite what happened... She lives in a beautiful house up on the hill and she's relatively kind. She's a Sagittarius too so, maybe I have some weird chiron placement that linked us that day?

She came into my room while writing this saying she is going to Mexico Wednesday.

Ok.

I don't know what sort of reaction she was expecting. I really don't care. Well actually, I am pretty happy, to be honest. She'll be out of my hair and I'll be able to make proper plans and not have to worry about a creeper around me. Shit, I need that break.

I dreamt of a storm and in the storm there was an apple tree blowing about the wind. I saw it from different angles, in a room similar to my old one. I wanted to leave.

I had a dream of people disappearing in different bodies of water. Like a bath tub and dishwasher. Someone who was working at like star bucks or something popped up back up from a puddle.

I dreamt that my papa Raul worked by himself at momijis I was wanting to work at the boba place farther away where the girl who married Muchullay Cullken working with Steven Yeung was under a trance by a witch or being hypnotized. She had a black dress and was doing some sort of skit or something in the gymnasium with a chunkier girl who was more supportive of the social media skits.

They was something confessing to him or her? I don't know.

The koi pond was overflowing with stuff inside it like bread crumbs or something.

Yea my dreams are being eaten by Vocal. I was supposed to put them on Youtube, but I mean, these are less fantastical than the ones on there so. I don't mind if these more straight-forward predictors are put on Vocal versus a more, creative and movie-worthy stuff being on Youtube.

I am just having to convert files anyway. I still haven't found my scissors though.

When I was younger, we had a big purple dinosaur tell us, when we lose something, we should clean the house because it will be clean enough to find the thing we're looking for. That works on a practical level, but also I think it works on a psychological level because, people usually say you find the things you want when you let go of control or focus of the thing.

I am pretty sure my enemies wanted me to indulge in my vices but, next time I do that, it will be in a less hostile environment, and the vices themselves won't be local.
