I hate to say it and I hate to know it but if you crave intimacy and deep relation you truly have to muster the courage to go first.

Something I forgot to mention here is that before even trying to rearrange what's happening 'out there' you muster the courage to go first within yourself. Everything you seek - give it first to yourself in sensation, in imagination. Don't be stingy with yourself. It doesn’t make sense to have a codependent relationship with reality or need appearances (how things appear from moment to moment) to validate you. This is fighting with shadows, that are ungraspable and bound to change. I think when you are approaching others from this false self/ego space that functions with the idea that 'you' are somewhat deficient, inferior, or lacking, you go within and address that. Your internal shifts are not happening in isolation - they're ripples in the same 'water' which everything is of

I really feel like we should be trying to impress ourselves every day like I might just be saying this as a Sun/Venus in 1st house bitch but I literally start to wither away when I’m not impressed with what I’m doing and who I’m being and what is possessing my vision like it gives me the ick. It icks me out to be distracted and basic. My only goal this summer is to keep my word to myself. I’m so happy spoiling myself with my own attention
