Aries: As this year comes to a close reflect on the moments where you thought you couldn’t go on because somehow you did. You will continue to go on and the years will continue to go by and the leaves will regrow like love regrows after going missing for awhile. The sun always rises, especially for you.
Taurus: Ending things only hurts when you leave a part of yourself with that person. Your New Year’s resolution should be to stop taking chunks of your soul and leaving them on someone else’s nightstand before you leave in the morning. If you do that too much then there wont be any of you left.
Gemini: As you fall asleep your dreams lift you up and into outer space. Third person point of view has never hurt this badly. You watch the person you put all your time into fall into arms that don’t look like yours. They look at home. I pray for your nightmares to subside in January.
Cancer: If you end up spending this season alone then remind yourself that it is okay. Put up the holiday lights or sing the cheerful music to yourself. And before you go to bed on New Years Eve, listen to the silence and thank the universe for creating you in a world where you get to celebrate just living 365 days. You should celebrate the little achievements after all.
Leo: You used them like a graveyard. You just wanted a place to rest your bones and be comforted for a bit until you found the courage to live. Shame on you.
Virgo: Rub your tummy when it’s full of gingerbread and candy canes. Put your favorite outfit on even if you have no where to go just because you love your hips in it. Give yourself the gift of self-love this holiday season.
Libra: As you watch the snow fall and the wind blow from outside your bedroom window whisper your secrets aloud and let the cold breeze drift them away. Let the weight finally be lifted off your chest.
Scorpio: Forgive your family for when they bring up people who’s name makes your skin crawl. They don’t know them like you know them. Breathe deeply and take another sip of wine because the holidays are hard to get through when you have too many bridges you have already burnt down so you have to take the long way home.
Sagittarius: Happy birthday. I hope you learnt a lot about yourself this year. And if you didn’t, then why were you spending all that time alone? People should only tear themselves apart if they plan on building themselves back up.
Capricorn: Being drunk wont fix the holiday cards that you didn’t receive. Being high wont fix all the times you spent holidays in their arms and now you only hold yourself. You must face your pain and grow from it. If you let pain live inside you for too long it turns into a demon, attached to you like a second layer of skin, painful to peal off.
Aquarius: It’s okay to want to text them, wishing them a happy holidays, but don’t. It will only sting like a paper cut you get from wrapping presents you paid too much for. Let them wonder if you think about them when you sit in front of a winter campfire, drinking warm cider. Let them think you’ve moved on. Let them do the missing this time.
Pisces: It’s okay to skip the parties, at least you know you wont seem them kissing their new mistletoe lover. It’s okay to lay in bed and watch the ball drop while you snuggle your dog. It’s okay to stay in and turn off the lights and listen to your heart beat. It’s okay to be alone.
