Aries – love will take over your body like a fever in a dream, but the things you will do when your mind isn’t under your control anymore will be so beautiful; don’t treat this like an illness when really it’s the sweetest revolution you’ll ever see.

Taurus – if you don’t know what you want, nobody else ever will either.

Gemini – it’s okay to be selfish with yourself; you don’t have to share the parts of you that you want all to yourself, and you don’t have to show yourself to anybody who isn’t worth your trust.

Cancer – I am locked doors and shaky stairs, but you always look at me like a child with Christmas lights reflected in their eyes; you know how to find something worth loving where others might only see something that’s too rusty to ever be anything but frustrating.

Leo – people buy diamonds with no thought of the suffering hidden in their beauty; cigarettes can kill you, but people still breathe them like it’s okay if their last breath comes early as long as it tastes like relief. that is to say, it is easy to put aside the truth when your desire takes over, but it is never the kindest choice.

Virgo – you don’t have to understand something to love it.

Libra – don’t think that just because you bloomed last spring, you can’t again this year; you are perennial and you will come back just as vibrant as before.

Scorpio – pessimism might feel revolutionary for a while, but hopefulness fills your body like the full moon during a blackout; it will treat you more kindly than cynicism ever could.

Sagittarius – sometimes people who don’t even deserve to be in your thoughts are lucky enough to receive your anger, but you don’t have to waste your forgiveness on them if you don’t want to.

Capricorn – quiet feels like the softest kiss or the safest arms; it’s like the calmest lake, but you are still lost in the desert.

Aquarius – it doesn’t matter how many showy words you know if you can’t use them to make someone feel loved.

Pisces – if you ever feel like you’re not important, try looking at yourself through the eyes of someone who is in love with you.
