at some point sooner than later, the writers will have nowhere that pays to publish their writing, the music will be streamed for no profit to the musicians, and only hedge funds managers will buy art.
you gotta let life play out. you’re so eager for your blessings RIGHT NOW. God doesn’t move on your time. your blessings might be 6 months from now.. a year from now.. 5 years from now.. let go of your timeline and let it unfold. it’s bigger than you.
doing the work doesn’t just mean journaling and liking self-help tweets. it involves a deep-dive into understanding how our own patterns impact/hurt others and cause us to give up on healthy connections before they can begin. growth equals accountability during hard conversations
fear of abandonment is a really tough thing to overcome. if someone has left or shut you down coldly in a moment of raw vulnerability, it’s so easy to internalise this and believe they will do it again, or that other people will do it. unlearning this is difficult, it takes time.
So… the thing that Taurus is truly searching for is emotional stability but they don’t really know how to go about securing that. Let’s talk about why:

Mom & Dad, this one's for you <3
Are you constantly focused on what people think of you, always re-playing conversations in your mind, and do you notice every change in someone's emotional state?
This is called hypervigilance:
if someone I care about asks me for reassurance, I will never put them in a position where they think it’s a burden each time they ask, or feel as though they need to apologise for requesting it. that is the bare minimum I can do.
Haven’t felt normal since the Cincinnati Zoo put out an official statement that Fiona the hippo is fucking her mother’s husband so they have her on hippo birth control
