Aright Laurie you better grab a drink and sit down, because I’m finally spilling everything. You know how people always assume my favorite color is black? Well, here’s the tea, black is actually my number two, but dark purple? That’s my soul color. It’s just so deep and mysterious, you know? Though honestly, black is a close second because it matches everything and just feels like armor.
Speaking of feeling different, you’ve asked if I’ve ever been called a witch or worse. Oh, absolutely. And honestly? My family has always had this supernatural skill set, past and present. I’ve always felt like there are forces out there working against us, something lurking just beyond what normal people see. It’s wild because I can totally tell when I’m influencing certain personality types. I can bend them to my will without them even saying a word and I know you get it, because you have that same gift.
Remember when I used to say I didn’t believe in Tarot? Yeah, that died the moment I got my first reading. Now I’m hooked, and I totally believe in predictions. It just makes sense when you live my life. Like, try getting me to walk into a graveyard by choice... actually, never mind. I live in a farmhouse built in the 1880s with its own cemetery right next door. If that doesn’t scream haunted,I don’t know what does. And guess what? I love it. I love being scared.
Let’s keep it real about the vibe I put out there, too. I’ve always loved dark, flashy lingerie no matter how old I get, LOL. And scary movies? I’m always cheering for the evil bad guy. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve always had people of all genders making passes at me. It’s not just about looks. They see me and they just want me. I think it’s the charms. I’m always wearing amulets and charms. I can’t wear the big, noticeable ones I want to because of my job, but I never leave the house without some protection on me.
Have I told you about the Déjà Vu? I’ve experienced it so many times in my life. There was this one time I’m convinced it literally saved my life. I won’t go into the details right now, but I promise I will someday. It all ties into how I’ve always dreamed of being a witch like Samantha from Bewitched or a genie like Jeanie from I Dream of Jeannie. That’s why my Halloween costumes have always been witchy or sinister, usually with a horror comedy twist because I’ve got to keep the humor in it.
And those silhouettes of bare trees against a moonlit sky? That’s my aesthetic. That’s why I’m out walking in the woods at night. Do I get mischievous thoughts out of nowhere? “No, your honor, that’s hearsay!” ...Okay, maybe sometimes.
Lastly, let’s talk about pain. I used to say I sometimes like it, but that’s a lie. I’m a fucking pain slut. But here’s the catch: they better like what they give, because I give it back just as hard as I receive it.
So yeah, that’s the real me. Magic, mystery, dark purple, and a little bit of danger. Just how I like it.
