Aries: Should all else fail, go to sleep. Everything feels so much more forgiving in the morning sun.
Taurus: The heart has a remarkable memory. You will love again.
Gemini: The person you are today might be unrecognizable in a few years, and this is such a good thing. Every day should be a resounding chorus of, “I am learning and unlearning. Today is the closest I have ever been to myself, today is the closest--so far.”
Cancer: Write a love poem for your hands, for all the ways they keep holding. Even when they're cold, even when they're shaking.
Leo: Your life will never be yours if you always keep waiting for a standing ovation. Learn to love yourself when your makeup is runny and your breath is stale and there is no one left to smile for.
Virgo: There is something in you that is fierce and savage and haunted. Let it teach you how to be unafraid again.
Libra: You are the most lovely of things, but life will only ever seem as beautiful as you think you are. I hope you have the happiest of birthdays.
Scorpio: You make someone want to exist. This is not a burden, and neither are you.
Sagittarius: You, more than anyone else, know the difference between running away and running towards. Find yourself a home.
Capricorn: Stop making art you are not proud of. What I mean is, start being proud.
Aquarius: There is a pool of anger resting underneath your tongue. Spit it out before it leaks into every conversation.
Pisces: There will always be mountains and cathedrals that will make you seem small in comparison. I hope you do not feel unholy. You are everything you need to believe in.
