A long letter to all of the star signs. Because we’re all in this together. 

It’s the first day of May. There’s another full moon approaching us, even though I didn’t ask for one. Right now I’m googling what moon phase we’re in? First Quarter started today. But what does that mean?

I’m seeing “(action)”. I’m reading that the first quarter is a week after a new moon, we might start to feel sticky and resistant because things in the air are changing. And somehow I’m still incapable of handling change even though I’m practically a different person every twenty minutes. The Quarter Moon’s themes are “challenges, decisions, and action”. This week is probably an important week to do all of our to-do lists.

It says that in Old English, the word lunatic translates to “moon-sick”. I’m sick of the moon and the power that it’s just palming off to me. Life is a series of me trying to come to terms with my sensitivity.

I’m thinking that when I follow time by the moon cycles, things feel achievable. I think the moon is fascinating, and yeah I can get to the end of the week. 7 days seems okay. Then I think of 26 weeks all in one sum, and simply combust. I’m like asking people on the street why I should have to travel that far?

I want to be in control of the speed of everything. I get angry when things are slow. Upset when things are too fast. If I keep travelling at this rate, what will make me happy?

I guess I’m trying to figure out how to handle that. How to not feel responsible for time and the speed of it all. I think I’m trying to see right now for right now, even though it’s painful and corny as hell. Looking up at the ceiling, Ask me how I’m really going. Thinking things through with myself. Occasionally nodding.

I keep coming across big lumps of frustration, because I’m feeling like nobody is listening to me. I’m accusing everyone of never listening. When it’s me who hasn’t been listening to me all along.
