Oof. Just imagining myself being emotionally nude is enough to send shivers down my spine. But that was a really good piece, I loved reading it 🖤

I’m convinced that authenticity and truth that will help heal these times. I do have to remember as a Scorpio though to say what I mean without being mean. Still a work in progress, but I feel like I live from a more aligned place of truth without compromising my voice.

I’m a Leo with an Aries rising, which is basically celestial shorthand for “dramatic impulse control issues in heels.” Throw in the ADHD and autism, and what you get is someone constitutionally incapable of lying, vibing, or otherwise shrinking for the comfort of anyone who isn’t, like, a houseplant or maybe Mister Rogers. I’ve tried. God, I’ve tried. Smiled through networking events. Nodded politely during small talk about office printers. But alas, the blurts keep blurting.

I’m just trying to be a functioning human being in a meat suit powered by solar drama and prefrontal cortex chaos.

These words move me. As a child of hug loving hippies who taught me unconditional love it triggers a deep urge to hug you.. the kind of hug you melt into and might well cry hot tears in the it's energetic sincerity. the kind of hug that makes your body just surrender the need to hide or pretend. just being held so it can all pour out for as long as it cascades and mingles. the kind of hug that makes you feel seen and heard without saying anything. if a sacred space exists in this world its in that moment. not an emoji or flirtation, this is my hug to you.
