I'm not a war person.I don't watch war movies or documentaries, never have. I'm very much into art, design, and weirdo fringe stuff. I've had these interests all my life. I LOVE history, but not the war side of it. I can listen to a 5 part podcast series on Genghis Khan but, I can't sit through a 30 minute show on any war. Whenever war shows would come on tv, I'd either switch the station or leave the room. Does the M.A.S.H. theme music annoy anyone else? Anyway, anything war related really was not remotely interesting to me.
I'm also an 80s baby. So, I grew up in the time of Vietnam vets. The imagery in my mind when I picture a solider is the green camo uniform with black boots, the jungle fatigues of the Vietnam war that was often spoke of and referenced in pop culture during those times. When Saddam invaded Kuwait, I did see some desert fatigues and I remember thinking how strange they looked. Why weren't they in the green camo? My parents explained that the uniform color change was to blend into the desert environment. Then, my mind registered that as all battle uniforms are camo but can be different colors to blend in better to any specific location. That was my frame of reference when it came to war and solider uniforms. And, honestly, I didn't put any more thought into it. I had a lot of other things on my mind. In history class, we learned about various wars, WWII obviously being one of them. But, most of this learning was from dry text books or lectures from teachers. For most of my life, I had no clue how soldiers during those wars dressed. I'm always looking for a good pick-me-up.The YouTube channel White Feather Tarot just knows how to make me feel better. I struggle with being patient and trusting that the universe is working everything out for me. So, being able to drop in and watch her group tarot readings is a tool I use to pacify my time and remind myself that good things are on their way. The creator has a warm and welcoming presence that makes watching her videos feel like listening to a friend. She uses her deep knowledge of tarot to provide insightful and thought-provoking readings that are both uplifting and empowering. I always come away from each video feeling inspired and motivated to continue on my own personal growth journey. If you're interested in tarot or self-improvement, I highly recommend checking out her channel.
