Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars know how hard it is to let go. They know that everything can remind you of something you would like to forget. Memories of the good times you miss or bad times you endured hurt in an exquisite and precise way. They drag you back, and hold you down. They keep you in a holding pattern, and they taint everything in your life so that nothing seems good for very long.
People leave deep scars on us, in places we can't see and in ways we can't even comprehend. Love and abuse often result in the same types of wounds, and we pick at them whenever they remind us that they still haven't healed. We have questions that will never be answered, not by us, not by God, and most importantly, not by the people who caused us the pain in the first place.
The questions only grow, and we start looking within for blame when we can't reconcile or fathom how anyone could have done what they did to us. So we punish, we lash out, we hide, and we stunt ourselves because we are filled with uncertainty and fear and emptiness.
The only way to move on and accept it and get over it is to let it go, but we can't imagine ever letting go of something so personal and monstrous and encompassing. Sometimes we need help, from friends or professionals, to clear that hurdle we've been stuck on for so long. If not, we fall behind, and that becomes who we are, and we adapt to a half life of diminished expectations, ruled by the past and apprehension.
The stars implore you to get yourself over that bump or hill or mountain, however big it is. It takes time and effort, but it's worth it, trust them. There are so many good things waiting on the other side, and all you have to do is find a way to let it go.
