The Signs + Anaïs Nin
Aries: “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”
Taurus: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
Gemini: “Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. That is a kind of death.”
Cancer: “We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”
Leo: “I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I cannot transform into something marvelous, I let go.”
Virgo: “We don’t see things as they are; we see them as we are.”
Libra: “You cannot save people. You can only love them.”
Scorpio: “The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.”
Sagittarius: “Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another.”
Capricorn: “I am only responsible for my own heart, you offered yours up for the smashing my darling. Only a fool would give out such a vital organ.”
Aquarius: “There is not one big cosmic meaning for all; there is only the meaning we each give to our own life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.”
Pisces: “I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.”
Whenever I see an Ivan Aivazovski painting the sea monster in me goes absolutely feral
I see this and I’ve never wanted to sink a ship so much in my life I’m biting through wood as we speak
God if I saw this in person I’d straight up start slithering. Start writhing
if you remember that life is fluid you’ll never feel stuck. nothing is the end all or your only option. when something ends it’s your time to start something new. it doesn’t matter how often doors close if you’re always moving forward. don’t dwell or try to open those old doors. the more you keep moving, the more you’ll see life is working in your favor.
