The Letdown

The Letdown speaks to the ache of emotional disappointment—the space between what you hoped for and what actually happened. Maybe you were waiting for closure that never came, or investing energy in someone (or something) that never showed up for you in return. This card isn’t here to reopen wounds—it’s here to help you stop living in emotional limbo. The story you’re still holding onto might have already ended. The question is: are you ready to write a new one? It’s okay to grieve what didn’t work out. But don’t confuse disappointment with identity. You’re not broken, unworthy, or forgotten—you’re just carrying feelings that have overstayed their welcome. Let yourself feel them. Then let them go. Healing starts when you hang up the phone on the version of the past that no longer serves you.
