The Quote Each Zodiac Needs To Read This Weekend (November 17-19)
Aries
It’s such a bitter way of living:
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
being merciful,
for fear of asking for your needs to be met.
Because the thing is, it is never too much.
The way they loved you just wasn’t enough.
Taurus
This is me no longer
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
allowing myself to be palpable,
fearing I take up too much space,
always anchoring my voice.
This is me believing that
I am so much more than someone to merely tolerate.
Gemini
It’s such a beautiful feeling, isn’t it?
Kelly Peacock, Somewhere In Between
Realizing you no longer miss them
as much as you used to love them.
Cancer
It wasn’t until his withdrawl–and the echoing of it in my body–that I realized how crucial it is to make a home in my bones. How necessary it is to find solace, to not let myself shrink.
I can’t help but feel sad for myself though, knowing that someone’s leaving is what makes me finally come home to myself.
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
Leo
There’s no reason to surrender
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
to a closeness you’re uncertain about,
especially when you know–in your gut–
there is something so much greater
out there waiting for you.
Virgo
It’s okay if I don’t forgive myself yet.
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
Right now I’m still hurting, and that’s okay.
Self-forgiveness is a journey–
For now, I just need to meet myself where I’m at.
Libra
One day you’ll realize it: how, for so long, you’ve allowed yourself to be small. Graceful. A pleaser. You never took up too much space, never asked for your needs to be met, never let yourself step out of complacency. One day you’ll realize all of that, and it will be devastating, the way you broke your own heart. You’ll have a hard time forgiving yourself for not respecting yourself enough to be loud, to be wanting, to be here.
One day everything will change. You’ll learn what your voice sounds like, what it feels like to take up space. Then, self-forgiveness will come–and it will come. You have to trust yourself enough to keep feeling. You have to trust yourself enough to keep healing.
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
Scorpio
You have to believe
Kelly Peacock, Somewhere In Between
there is more waiting for you
and you will love again.
And until that happens, be still.
Tell yourself this until it sinks in:
There is more waiting for me and I will love again.
Sagittarius
This is me no longer
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
allowing myself to be palpable,
fearing I take up too much space,
always anchoring my voice.
This is me believing that
I am so much more than someone to merely tolerate.
Capricorn
Maybe this is me finally understanding that sometimes love doesn’t happen for two people, no matter how badly you want it to. I am accepting the fact that sometimes the love you want isn’t the love you deserve or the love you need.
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
Aquarius
Spend time alone. Figure out what growth feels like. Understand the way you love yourself and which parts of you need a little more tenderness.
Kelly Peacock, Somewhere In Between
Pisces
I want to know what it’s like
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
to choose myself instead.
I want to know how to quiet the guilt
and make love something I give myself
for once.
