The Quote Each Zodiac Needs To Read This Weekend (December 8-10)

Aries

It’s such a beautiful feeling, isn’t it?
Realizing you no longer miss them
as much as you used to love them.

Kelly Peacock, Somewhere In Between

Taurus

There’s no reason to surrender
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.

Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces

Gemini

Here are some tough pills to swallow:
Some people don’t love the way you love.
Some people can’t give the way you give.

Cancer

This is me no longer
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
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.

Scorpio

It’s such a bitter way of living:
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.

Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces

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,
your body cannot survive on being an afterthought. 

Kelly Peacock, Somewhere In Between

Aquarius

You have to believe
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. 

Kelly Peacock, Somewhere In Between

Pisces

It’s not easy to admit that
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.
