Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want you to know that you are not unique. Okay, that sounds like a horrible thing to say, and of course all of us are unique in some way or another.
We are not as unique as we think we are when it comes to problems and emotional distress. Our first instinct when we feel bad, or sad, or depressed or embarrassed is that no one could possibly know how we feel or understand what we are going through. That is wrong.
We all have experienced most of the things you have, and if not in exactly the same way, we are blessed with imagination and empathy that let's us fill in the blanks.
One of the biggest mistakes we make is not giving the people that love us the chance to prove it. We think our secrets are so big and so scary and so terrible that even they will look at us with disappointment or disgust.
They all have the same secrets hiding inside them, that is a fact. We all feel that way, and we all get it, we just aren't good at admitting it to others. Maybe we don't talk about it because we don't like hearing it verbalized, because we can barely admit some things to ourselves.
The sooner we work past that, the sooner we can unburden ourselves and get closer to others in the process. You will find that the people that truly love you will usually be nonplussed by your confession, and maybe breathe a sigh of relief to find you feel that way too.
Some might be shocked at first, but give them a moment to process it and they will still love you as fiercely as they did before. If they don't, then maybe they didn't love you as much as you thought they did. And if someone does love you, isn't it fair to let them know the person they love, warts and all? That's just common decency.
The stars shine out through the universe for all to see. They hide no secrets, they harbor no guilt. Everything they are is beaming out, unadulterated and pure, across billions of light years of space, and all the other stars shine back. Together, they make up the night sky, and bring an order and beauty to the cosmos that we can only marvel at.
The only way to get closer to each other is by sharing who we are, on every level. Tear down any walls that block the light, or you may find yourself living in the vast, empty region of space where no light reaches you and you are unbound by the gravity that holds everything together.
Shine with everything you have. It's all you, the good, the bad, and the spectacular, but we'll never grow and we'll never see it, and we'll all drift through this life never knowing each other at all.
And if you never really know anyone, how will you ever know yourself?
