The Quote Each Zodiac Needs To Read This Weekend (November 3-5)
Aries
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
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
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
Cancer
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.

Leo
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.
Virgo
I know that I have finally let you go
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
because I feel a delicate ease.
I feel the weight of
not being loved enough
lifted.
My shoulders have lowered,
my jaw unclenched.
I have let you go,
and finally, I can exhale.
Finally, I can breathe.
Libra
I need you to forgive yourself for it all:
Kelly Peacock, Somewhere In Between
how you put energy into loving someone else–
someone more than yourself–
how you were concerned about how they felt with you,
how you apologized just for existing
in the same space as them,
how you begged, on your knees,
for love, as a means of keeping the peace,
how you never took a moment to think,
Am I loving myself enough?
If this is your truth, forgive yourself.
Look for closure.
Understand that you can be fascinated by someone else
and you can lay yourself bare to them
if you so please,
but it’s so much more important
to give some of that magic to yourself.
When it comes to love,
your body cannot survive on being an afterthought.
Scorpio
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.
Sagittarius
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.
Capricorn
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.
Aquarius
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.
Pisces
To me, love has always been about sacrifice.
Kelly Peacock, Loving, Longing, And Other Liminal Spaces
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.
