We need to stop blindly wrecking our lives. We need to stop having the same old routines. We need to start actually living. We need to learn how to breathe deeply and to slow down. And we need to stop being so terrified of the unknown.

As a libra, your ex most definitely carries a grudge for you. They will never look at you in the same way, and will trash talk you to anyone who wants to hear it.

Strong women are allowed to break down. They stumble. They cry out. They sink to the ground. Because they know, that they are allowed to do it. They know that they can’t carry so much at one time. And that sometimes, they need to let it all go.

When you are so intoxicatingly in love, sometimes you lose track of yourself. You’re so caught up in forever, that you forget to be present. You forget yourself. You forget reality.

Choose someone who loves you without fear. Who shouts instead of whispers. Who leaps instead of walks. And who runs towards you, instead of away from you.

I wish I could pretend it’s not true and make the choice to not even write about it. But, I need to get this off my chest. Deep down in my gut, I know for sure that if you asked for me back, I would say yes. And the sad part is that, this will never happen.

The kind of love that you are worth is the kind that never dampens your smile. It is the kind that sees the whole galaxy by just looking into your eyes. The kind that sees the future just by seeing your smile. And the kind that never, ever, looks away from your steady gaze.

I might not know what I’m doing, and I might not have everything figured out right now, but that’s the exact point of life. You don’t go on a rollercoaster just for a straight line path that never dips. You want all of the dips, drops and spins that it can offer you.

I don’t know why I keep dreaming up the same dream. I don’t know why you always say the same line, that makes my heart leap out of my chest. But when I wake up, and I lie there, gutted, and in shock, it’s because for those minutes, I thought it was real. I thought it was all real.

As an Aries, you are incredibly independent. Don’t ever date someone who can control you in any way and who doesn’t respect your own need for alone time.

Don’t let yourself grimace at the thought of love. Don’t turn your nose up at it. Because no matter how much you get hurt from love, and how much it tries to crumble you up, love will always prevail. It’s not ever going to go away.

Please don’t let your fears keep you from living a great life. Stop pressing pause in your life. Start pressing play. No matter how scary it may seem, it’s better than not living at all.

I know that for a strong woman, it’s hard to accept this. You don’t want help. You don’t feel like you need it. And it’s hard to confront your own emotions head on. But, confronting how you feel right now, will ultimately make you a stronger person. And it will ultimately help you grow.

To date a strong woman, you need to be able to man the f**k up. With all the cracks her heart has endured through the years, she has turned it into steel. But, you need to break down those barriers and see what’s inside. You need to be able to hear her story and not run.

I loved you. I truly thought you were the only love in my life and I never in a million years, thought I could replace you. But the love of my life isn’t you anymore. It’s me.

See, my head is full of imaginary scenarios, and false hope that takes up too much space. Because even though we ended a long time ago, I still have a tiny bit of hope inside of me. I still believe. And that’s what makes it worse. Because you don’t owe me anything anymore.

You used to love the way they made fun of your dance moves and they way they bear hugged you constantly. But now, all those little things you used to love about them, annoy you. You don’t find it charming or funny anymore, you just want it all to stop.

As you a Scorpio, you love hard. But as much as you love deeply, you also hate deeply. Once your anger has diminished, you’ll get right back to being the fierce and incredibly driven person you know best.
