The Quote Each Zodiac Needs To Read This Weekend (December 8-10)
Aries
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.
Taurus
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.
Gemini
Here are some tough pills to swallow:
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
Some people don’t love the way you love.
Some people can’t give the way you give.
Cancer
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.
Leo
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
Virgo
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.
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.
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
Scorpio
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.
Sagittarius
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
Capricorn
When it comes to love,
Kelly Peacock, Somewhere In Between
your body cannot survive on being an afterthought.
Aquarius
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.
Pisces
It’s not easy to admit that
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
you accepted crumbs and said it kept you full.
It’s not easy to admit that
you stuck to them out of fear.
It’s a gutted realization,
but an important one–
you might feel starved,
but at least you’ll be free.
