I've never really been a spiritual person until recently. As a way of ignoring the studying I had to do, I began binge-watching the show Long Island Medium. This then lead to more shows like Hollywood Medium, Monica the Medium, and it suddenly became an obsession. I was convinced every time I saw a shadow that it was a spirit.

If I had a weird dream, a spirit was trying to connect with me, or even when I guessed the next words out of my friends' mouths, it was because I was a medium.

I dug deep into research and found a bunch of mystical, mysterious, and magical things within this crazy world of the internet.

Diving into astrology, I learned about this thing or theory called Mercury in Retrograde. Basically, three or four times a year Mercury is said to go in retrograde, or move in the opposite direction of planet Earth. During this time, it's like the entire world is living in one chaotic bubble of Murphy's Law.

The erratic become crazier, your past creeps up to haunt you, and people find themselves doing things they never do. Now, I'm not blaming my sudden realization of mediumship on Mercury being in retrograde, but I'm definitely a little bit more ridiculous than I usually am (if that is even possible).

Keep this in mind if anything slightly off-putting happens, it's probably not your fault, or at least now you can tell that to yourself.
