Just Beyond Your Comfort Zone

-

I recently read my natal chart and learned more about my seventh house, the house of relationships, partnerships, and the potential meeting of my soulmate. What stood out wasn’t romance. It was geography. The interpretation suggested I may find love outside of my city. Outside of my state. Possibly outside of my race, my usual environment, my familiar spaces. And immediately, I paused. Because if that’s true, then love isn’t just about alignment, it’s about expansion. It made me look at my life under a microscope. The places I frequent. The rooms I feel safe in. The routines I’ve mastered. The types of people I naturally choose. What if what I desire is sitting just beyond what feels comfortable?

Imagine cracking on the inside and it never been noticed. You cry during emotional moments as expected But the tears have nothing to do with what’s happening. They belong to something older, something waiting. Pain breaks like a levee So what’s really hurting slips past unseen. Everyone expects so much from you, yet rarely considers you.

Partners do it. Friends do it. They all do. When someone wants something, They perform. And you know the game. Knowing is the wound. Because in seeing them clearly, It hurts more You wanted to believe They were better people. Every tear carries a story past, present, future sliding down supple cheeks, soaking into fabric, leaving stains of memory until they dry. And then there’s the smile. You hide behind walls, afraid your true expression might escape But her...
