4 Zodiacs Who Romanticize Their Childhoods

ARIES

Aries takes more of an Ares approach when it comes to their childhood. Family members are romanticized and more importantly mythologized. Aries’ identity is formed in comparison and contrast to those of Titans. Aries’ flaws are inherited traits. Aries’ strengths are family traditions. Their stature, worldview, and code of ethics all stem from the same familial root, and everything is measured by a ruler of epic proportions. Whether or not Aries’ ancestors are politicians, moguls, or residents of any one of a number of Hall of Fames doesn’t exactly matter. They still show their parents and grandparents the same level of respect. They still feel the same immense pressure to live up to their legacies. They set their standards for adulthood based on the examples given to them in childhood.

LEO

Leo wears rose-colored glasses when it comes to looking back on their past. Even when they are older, wiser, and have loads more perspective, they still see everything as this wholesome, perfect, sitcom making another round of reruns on Nick At Nite. They forget about their childhood bullies and only remember their besties. Adults of the neighborhood were school board and church leaders, not gossips or pot-stirrers or clique formers. Injustice didn’t exist, everyone got along, no one talked about politics, and summer seemed to last twice as long. There were five-dollar foot-longs, gas cost next to nothing, and Blockbuster was the best way to spend a Friday night. Leos don’t dig deeper into their history than the surface level.

LIBRA

Libra romanticizes their childhood in a Dickensian manner. Everyone is an angel or a villain, a caricature of some sort. People sort of just stay the same. The good side stays good, the bad side stays bad. The Bob Cratchits are to be admired, and the Mr. Bumble’s reviled. The Mr. Micawber’s serve as comedic relief and all the unfairness of being a child is somehow rectified in the end. Part of the romanticism is the tragedy they made it through to get where they are today. Libra is the protagonist, protected by a halo of childhood innocence, making their way through a harrowing world that has the potential to crush their spirit but never does. The happy ending they finally arrive at compensates for all the prior struggles.

SCORPIO

Scorpio is the sign that romanticizes their childhood through gratitude. Every family member, every teacher, every neighbor, every teammate, every friend, every classmate, all imparted them with unforgettable and cherished experiences and memories. They feel honored to have been a part of each of these communities and to be grouped and considered alongside the rest of their peers. As they age, they feel compelled to give back to their hometown and pay their respect to their roots. Who they are and what they become are very much a result of and a tribute to the many people involved in the process of raising them. They feel there is not enough they can do or say to express their gratitude.
