You don’t want to agree to too many favors at once. You don’t want your to-do list to run a mile long. You don’t want to be overloaded by your responsibilities. You don’t want to burn yourself out.

It should be the year you work on ridding yourself of baggage, getting over your deepest insecurities, and learning to love yourself unconditionally.

You shouldn’t push yourself too hard. You shouldn’t put too much on your plate at once. You shouldn’t create a lifestyle where you are bound to burn out. 

You don’t want to cling to the past because some people are temporary. Some people are better off left behind.

When you love someone, you don’t question every move they make. You don’t get jealous when they spend time with their friends. You don’t get self-conscious when they have a good time without you. 

You’re not going to be able to give your all to your loved ones if you burn yourself out. You have to be careful when it comes to your own mental health. You have to be careful not to exhaust yourself. 

If someone has been slowly eating away at your sanity, making mean jabs here and there, undervaluing you as a person and disrespecting you as a whole, then you are allowed to create distance between yourself and their negativity.

You’re not stupid for texting him. You’re not stupid for thinking he would actually answer this time. You’re not stupid for falling for someone like him. Stop blaming yourself for feeling, for having a heart.

ARIES: Your guilt is only going to tether you to the past. You have to forgive yourself to move forward.

You need to set a resolution you’re passionate about completing.

GEMINI: You’re looking forward to organizing your physical space and decluttering your mental state.

You cannot allow yourself to head into 2020 feeling like the last year has been a waste, a failure, an embarrassment. 

If you continue to dwell on the past, to chase after hearts who are wrong for you, to allow yourself to be walked over, to surround yourself with the wrong people, to mope about how much you hate your life, 2020 is going to be exactly the same as yesterday.

Caring about your person means caring about their hobbies, their passions, their dreams, their milestones. 

He might tell you he’s not interested in anything serious with you. He might turn around and start dating someone else. Or he might ghost you without giving you any sort of explanation.

If he picks and chooses when to answer your texts, when to hang out with you, when to acknowledge your existence, then you’re clearly not his first priority.

You showed me what you’re capable of doing to someone you supposedly love. 

He doesn’t like you back so you’re going to swear off dating forever? You’re going to lock away your heart and refuse to let anyone close to you? You’re going to convince yourself you’re better off alone?
