Sagittarius: Consider this a reminder that you have to learn how to be alone, and obtain a level of acceptance with that, sooner rather than later.

Pain is, unfortunately, a critical part of the mending process, and in order to move on from an emotional injury you need to acknowledge its ache

Scorpio: You’re running out of space in yourself for newer, softer memories. Don’t cast them away for those things that don’t deserve it.

Libra: Sometimes a little confidence, even if it begins as a front, is the final piece to the puzzle.

VIRGO: I can’t promise that you won’t find yourself faced with broken things in need of fixing again, but I can promise that you’ll be able to put it back together.

GEMINI: Happiness is a lover that always sends you postcards but never tells you when they’re coming home. You’ve grown so accustomed to their quick scrawl reading “wish you were here” that you can almost predict each cards’ arrival after every new bout of sadness.

SCORPIO: You’ve brushed so much under the rug that it’s become noticeable. There’s now a lump to avoid in the center of your floor and the only thing left to do is confront it.

You’re sitting in between two boys and you love both of them. They look through you, the glass window in a burning room. It’s ironic that panic buttons cease to matter when everything’s already up in flames.

Gemini: It’s really easy for people to criticize the choices you’ve been forced to make when they’ve never worn shoes as tattered as yours. The ground never seems rocky to anyone until they’ve personally experienced its brutality, and you’ve been braving the blood and the bruises for years without complaint.

Pisces: When you were born everybody in the room must’ve held their breath, because how could they not see what they were bringing into the world? Sure, you’ve caused a few accidents. But you’re working to fix the damage. You’re trying. That’s enough.

I just thought to myself, “you don’t love him” and this is the first time it hasn’t felt like a lie.
