What This Card Means to Me

This card to me is a warning. Either I’m about to fall into a pit of despair due to my current set of actions, or I’m already in one. Regardless of the matter, I need to change my course. As long as I’m still breathing, it’s not the end of the world. It really is true that when you’ve hit the bottom the only way left is up.
