Mundane
The mundaness of life can dull your senses.
It can cause the sun to shine a shade darker and its warmth to have a chill.
It can make you walk under the night sky without looking up at the stars.
The mundaness turns you into a mindless, lifeless being.
But then, there are moments:
Like watching you sleep
Like hearing you laugh
Like you catching me off guard with a kiss.
Those moments make the bottom of stomach flutter.
Then during those endless, mundane days I think of those moments and I realize, thanks to you, I am alive.

7. Think about 3 things that could make life worth living
8. Write down 3 things you are grateful for.
What the Signs Need
Aries – “I believe in you.”
Aries are full of energy. They’re bold and impulsive. They seem confident because they always have a response; they’re always quick to act. However, this isn’t always confidence- sometimes it’s just their impulsive nature that forces them to act. Yes, they are children who know no fear, but they desperately need emotional support. Knowing that someone else has confidence in them, that someone is on their team, can push an Aries to become their best person: a fearless leader.
Taurus – “There’s no rush.”
Taurus hate feeling pressured. They need to feel comfortable and fulfilled before they reach any decision and definitely before they act. Having someone who understands their need for security and their slow (omg so slow sometimes) pace actually helps them feel better about making big moves (which kind of freaks them out because they don’t like change)!
Gemini – “You’re not crazy.”
Lets be honest, Gemini placements can inject lots of thoughts and feelings into a person. It creates indecisiveness and mental chaos, which makes a person moody. And people with Gemini placements know this and are sometimes unsteadied by the amount of mercurial energy. Having someone tell them that their need to overanalyze everything is okay and having someone who will listen to their endless thoughts is extremely validating and comforting to them.
Cancer – “You make a difference.”’
Most Cancers really take on more than they should, and they’ll take on more if it means helping another. They do this because they want to change and influence the world in a caring manner. And because they do this in a caring manner (instead of in a forceful manner (Aries) or strategic manner (Capricorn)), they sometimes doubt their efforts. They doubt that they have any impact on anyone, which just isn’t true. A Cancer’s kindness and ability to provide emotional support and strength to another is unmatched by any other sign, and someone who acknowledges this “hidden” strength and reminds a Cancer of it when they forget, will satisfy a Cancer in a meaningful way.
Leo – “Let me take care of you.”
Leos are very loyal and will do a lot for their partners and friends. However, this can not go unnoticed or unreciprocated. Leos need people to show them that they are thankful by returning the favor and then some. Leos want you to exceed their expectations just like they would do for you, and they won’t accept less.
Virgo – “Let me help you.”
Virgos really are about serving people’s needs and in what way and with what means changes depending on the planet and the house that Virgo is in. However, the need to serve is definitely present, and there is nothing worse than someone who consistently takes from a Virgo and never gives back. Because a Virgo isn’t like Leo, they won’t stop giving, blow up, and cut you off. A Virgo will continue to give even to their own detriment. This is why a Virgo needs someone who not only returns a favor but someone who just starts helping from the very beginning without having to be asked.
Libra – “You’re beautiful.”
Libras are very indecisive. They easily can get caught up in what people think or feel about them. They constantly are trying to define themselves and figure out who they are by mirroring others. They spend so much time looking at others that they frequently can’t identify their own qualities, which makes them question themselves on every level. To have someone who can definitively tell a Libra they’re beautiful (inside (Libras want to change the world too) and outside (Libras are vain) and be able to explain to them why, takes a huge weight off of their shoulders. For a few seconds, they don’t have to search or mirror because the person in front of them is telling them all they need to hear. (P.S. You will have to elaborate as to why they are beautiful- in what ways, specific examples, etc. They are an air sign haha it comes with further questioning)!
Scorpio – “I won’t leave.”
Scorpios are intense. Even if they come off light because of a misleading Ascendant or some other placement, there is a distinct side to them that is serious, edgy, and somewhat dark. And while most Scorpios enjoy the depth and transformation that comes with their placement, they can also be self conscious about it because they know it doesn’t make them the easiest to deal with, and it can lead to people leaving them, which highlights one of their biggest fears: abandonment. Scorpios thrive to have someone who won’t leave them in their darkest night because they need and expect unwavering loyalty. They also feel relieved knowing that not everyone is scared of (or drowns in) their depths.
Sagittarius – “Be free with me”
Sagittarius loves freedom: freedom of thought, expression, creativity, expansion, knowledge, etc. And they also love people (because they provide endless learning) and love to share their experiences of freedom and knowledge with other people, which can be a problem because people can slow them down. People come with baggage and responsibilities and can lead to becoming attached, which can influence someone to put down roots, which petrifies them. The run-on sentence is necessary to accurately depict their very real fear of this and them running away. But seriously this is why a Sag needs someone who calms that inner fear of being tied down because they know they have found someone to run free with.
Capricorn – “I appreciate all that you do.”
Capricorns show they care in a behind-the-scenes manner. They do it through helping and performing tasks- possibly doing things that are needed instead of wanted. They are consistent providers and supporters, and because they are consistent, their efforts can be overlooked and/or viewed as boring or expected. This is why when a Capricorns finds someone who acknowledges and appreciates their efforts, they are likely to do even more for that person and consider them as really valuable.
Aquarius – “You’re my best friend.”
People with Aquarius placements go back and forth between their love for being an individual and their fear of being so different that they don’t fit in anywhere. They want a companion but not one who wants to completely merge (because 1. they need to be their own person and 2. scary). They need someone to listen even if they don’t completely understand them (and honestly an Aquarius doesn’t want to be 100% understood anyway). They need someone who doesn’t deny their authenticity and isn’t repelled by their individuality, and who better to do that than a best friend.
Pisces – “You’re my soulmate.”
More than any other sign, Pisces really have a need to merge with another person. Traditional love isn’t enough for them. They are really looking for that fated connection, their soul mate. They need to know that there may be a billion other people in the world and that no one in that billion could replace them. They don’t need to feel that you chose them but rather that fate, through several lifetimes, chose the both of you for one another

How I See You
This is how I see you- indestructible. Did you know that? I love you for what you've gone through, who you already are, and who you will someday be. The worst of you will never outweigh everything beautiful that I see in you. Everything that I swear has always eluded me. I woke up this morning thinking, "who is luckier than I, able to spend my days with you in my life." I'm not easy to be with, I know. That part keeps me awake some nights. I'm aware of my shortcomings, and I fight to be someone you one day look at and know your life is incalculably better with me in it. When so much of this world has seemingly brought out the worst in us, what might become of two people willing to bring out our very best, all that was untapped, Two people brave enough to stay- when others fled, two people humble enough to let the other shine- because that's where our pride is now. I supposed I see you the way that I do- indestructible- because neither of us seem to have it in our heart to quit on you. ~ J. Raymond
I'm not here to tell you how perfect you are. You aren't. Far from it, in fact. I'm just here to tell you that in spite of everything that's gone wrong for you, you're unstoppable. So go ahead be rebellious, forceful even. Take what you need, just be sure to leave the best parts of yourself with everyone you touch. You are not alone.

To miss you is to have my chest ache, my brain burn, and my stomach weigh heavy. Oh, my dear, what have you done to me?

All I want is to feel your love in a physical form, not from over the ocean. Just to feel you breathe from beside of me, not in a digital form from across the sea. All I want is to feel your love in physical form, not from over the ocean. Just to feel you breathe from underneath me, skin on skin and heat on heat.
