Today’s Horoscope

There’s a loneliness in all of us that we can’t even put into words. That’s because there are things inside us, that unless we are very lucky, we can never share with anyone. Sometimes it’s because of guilt or shame, or because we have no one we trust to hear our secrets without using them against us. Sometimes it’s because we don’t even quite understand it ourselves.
Most of the time, it’s just because there are very few people, if any, who we feel understand us on the level we want to be understood. It’s not anyone else’s fault, there are things within us that cannot really be explained; either someone gets it or they don’t. They recognize it, and they become a kindred, but even those people can never understand us completely.
That is because while we are the same in so many ways, each of us is unique, so we carry a thing inside us that is all our own. Some deal with that knowledge better than others. Some don’t even care, and they feel perfectly fine with the relationships that they have and what they get out of life. Some get enraged at the world because no one will see things their way all the time, and they go through people like napkins, tossing them aside when they let them down on any level.
Others, though, they can’t quite accept it. They feel untethered at times from humanity because they have this part of them that no one can comprehend, or even know is there. They are lost on some level, and everything they do brings with it a little bit of disappointment and dissatisfaction.
All the stars can tell you is that we are all going to have a part of us that makes us feel a little lonely and misunderstood at times. It is part of our core makeup, and it is responsible for our individuality, and for a lot of our inventiveness and advancement as a species. The more unique you are, chances are the more lonely you will be. That’s why you should learn to share those things with the world, even if it frightens you, even if it seems no one cares, because as unique as you may be, there will always be someone who sees it the same way.
And then the world gets a little less lonely.
