Aliyah takes pride in herself. She keeps herself well-groomed, and has a very keen sense of her own self-worth. Growing up, she was taught that you need to be humble, and always act as if everybody else is better than you. Growing up in that situation didn't necessarily help her mental health all that much, and she ended up falling into a deep depression. She struggled quite a lot, and forced herself to pick up hobbies that she knew she wouldn't be able to complete. But it didn't stop her from buying all of the supplies, and pouring her time into them.
She had a friend, Rue, who was Wiccan. They had always been speaking about the benefits of tarot, and how they can really show you your path in life. In ignorance, Aliyah disagreed. She told Rue that tarot was fake, that nothing could possibly tell the future. Rue simply asked her to do some research. Convinced that she was right, Aliyah relented.
Upon her beginning to research tarot cards, one of her first pulls was the Reversed Nine Of Pentacles - meaning self-worth. She could feel something wash over her, like a wave of relief - and all of a sudden, she understood. It was in the dingy, old, rotting cabin that she had finally found herself.
She wasn't less than others.
She didn't have to be humble.
She was allowed to be who she was, and appreciate that she was just as unique as everyone else.
From there on, she had turned over a new leaf. She delved into reading tarot, working internationally. She tells her story to anyone who asks, and keeps a Reversed Nine Of Pentacles in her breast pocket at all times. She feels as if it brings her luck.
