As humans, we waste the shit out of our words. It’s sad. We use words like “awesome” and “wonderful” like they’re candy. It was awesome? Really? It inspired awe? It was wonderful? Are you serious? It was full of wonder? You use the word “amazing” to describe a goddamn sandwich at Wendy’s. What’s going to happen on your wedding day, or when your first child is born? How will you describe it? You already wasted “amazing” on a fucking sandwich.

Aries – Your world is always going to be complete all on your own, but it’s a lot brighter and enticing when you’re willing to open up and share it with someone else. You don’t have to keep all your secrets to yourself. Taurus - I’ve noticed how good you are at playing the victim. What you’re failing to realize is that you’re the only one ever saying good-bye. You’re so terrified of getting hurt that you’re sleeping with the lights on. One of these days you’re going to have to stop running from yourself. Gemini – I’m dreaming of the day when you stop trying to save everyone but yourself. Your battle cry is loud and it’s piercing above the chaos. I just want to see you let the cape fall and remove the mask, take a look in the mirror and be your own hero instead of villain.  Cancer - Lately, you’re sprouting out thorns where your softest pieces used to be. You’re making friends out of your demons, and you’re laughing and swapping stories while you choke on smoke. There’s nothing wrong with that. Some days the demons make better listeners than the angels.  Leo – I know you’re constantly being told to slow down, but that never meant to come to a burned rubber stop. All it ever meant was to reserve some of that light just for yourself. You don’t need to constantly be burning for everybody else.  Virgo – All your life you’ve been told to be nice, but not a pushover. Be brave, but don’t cause a scene. Make sure you’re heard, unless we don’t like what you have to say. Burn bright, but don’t blind me. Learn independence, but at a certain age we’re going to want to see you put your life in somebody else’s shaky hands. I know how hard it is to tune out their assumptions and demands. Grab your life by the reins, they don’t get to tell you who to be anymore. You’re a firework and they’re all going to be standing too close when you light up. Libra – You’re prone to wear your heart on your sleeve and let anybody with a nice smile and sweet words rip it right off. There’s nothing wrong with this, but there’s also nothing wrong with being something that they can’t grasp onto. Something that remembers to save the best parts of them for themselves. Scorpio – We’d all give anything to spend even a single day in your head. I think you dream in colors that don’t even have names. Some days you speak in dead languages. Your eyes give away nothing and everything all at once and nobody can tell what the truth is and where the lie is. You’re something that not everybody is going to know how to handle. That’s okay. One day somebody is going to try to crawl into your head and you’re going to unlock the double bolt and let them stay. Sagittarius – When are you going to stop expecting people to clean up the messes you leave behind? You’re constantly bouncing around and refusing any stability and everyone you leave in your wake is having to makeshift something new with jagged edges. Capricorn – It would be easy to sit here and spell it all out for you, to lead you straight to the words I’ve been trying to say all along. But there’s only so much I can do when you won’t meet me halfway. Just once it would be nice to say what you mean, mean what you say. But what’s the point in still trying to talk to somebody that isn’t listening anymore? You’ll let this roll right off your back too. Aquarius – I feel like you’re the definition of when you look into a body of water and what you see back is you, rippled and intangible. A wisp of smoke and then gone. When it’s dark out and your shadow isn’t with you. It’s hard to learn about something that is constantly hiding away. You’re a crossword personified, but we’re all still trying to connect the dots. We’re all playing the wrong game. Pisces – More often than not, people feel you, rather than see you. When you’ve let somebody get close enough, they can feel you in their bones when they shake, when they tremble, when their knees get weak. Somehow you’re there and you’re keeping everybody safe and warm and even after all that, you still stay so soft. You’ve seen so much but it’s never pierced your gold, your purity. It’s like you’re caught in a bubble away from all the ugliness and we all could stand to learn to see the world through your eyes.
