[be patient, good things are coming]

little steps toward better taking care of yourself are not insignificant. getting into a fairly consistent sleep schedule, remembering to take your medications on time, drinking enough water throughout the day, eating things that will make your body feel better during the day, and keeping your space clean before it becomes a depression room again are all amazing accomplishments.

there will always be other chances. at jobs, at educational progress, at relationships, at friendships. if you messed up at something, it’s not the end of the world. you’ll always have new opportunities in all areas of life.

☼ summer solitude for each sign ☼

aries: consider attending an outdoor summer festival or concert, but here’s the catch - you go by yourself. naturally you may make a friend, but ideally you step into the role of the observer, the internalizer. instead of dancing to your favorite song, you find stillness with it. a symbol for you to look out for this summer is the firefly

taurus: i like how excited you get when you finish a big project, but i’m sensing some much needed relaxation this summer. if you must make yourself useful, build a fire for yourself somewhere remote. better yet, splurge on some scented candles. a symbol for you to look out for this summer is the pinecone.

gemini: going somewhere? sounds fun, but schedule in some time to wander aimlessly on your own this summer. the worst that can happen is you get a little lost. i challenge you to make the perfect flower crown. a symbol for you to look out for this summer is the compass.

cancer: i get that you’re the zodiac’s beach babe, but your summer roots go so much deeper than that. i’m not suggesting you celebrate your birthday by yourself, but i do feel some post-party alone time will ignite some inspiration for you. you’re being pulled in a new direction, and it’s warm. a symbol for you to look out for this summer is the trusty number 4.

leo: i see you thriving this summer, but it’s just not your typical show. you’re inviting yourself back into a sphere that you’ve been neglecting. in fact, you’re likely resurfacing an old talent. whether literal or metaphorical, pull out the blank canvas. and some your favorite color paint. splatter your soul like paint into whatever you do. a symbol that may follow you this summer is the rainbow.

virgo: i sense a sunrise summer for you. sleeping in sounds nice too, but after one early morning i feel it may be hard for you to stop. being the first person in your favorite park will clear your mind to new levels. a symbol you perhaps should ponder this summer is the willow tree.

libra: there’s a polaroid photograph of just you and a very, very big tree. this picture will mean a lot to you if you make it happen. it will mean even more if you ask a stranger to take a for you. sorry this is so specific, but you’ve been feeling rather vague lately, no? your summer symbol is the taijitu.

scorpio: peace of mind felt so far away last summer, but you know it’s been within your reach all year long. maybe you haven’t reached out and grabbed it because your hands are so full with invisible things. even when you’re busy, peace is a mindset. find yourself somewhere high up. a rooftop or mountaintop. yes, alone. your summer symbol is the hummingbird.

sagittarius: someone’s out to get you, and you won’t be so paranoid once you find out who it is. i’ll tell you. her name is mother nature. return her call! you don’t need your biggest backpack — just your most aesthetic one. you’ll have plenty of chances to vibe with others, but no one knows you like you do. find a hidden gem, and keep it a secret this time. your summer symbol is the key.

capricorn: any big plans this summer? plan for some me-time too. your soul deserves it, even if you’ve felt quite detached from it for a while. reconnect with your inner self — even if that means more than one piña colada refill. a day filled with doing absolutely nothing will do you so much good. consider it. your summer symbol is the dandelion.

aquarius: a random burst of happiness is going to hit you really hard this summer. it will last longer than you expect, too. the best way to beckon this burst is to find yourself alone in a large field or empty alley with one of your most miniature, meaningful objects. close your eyes, set an intention, and watch for magic. your summer symbol is the smiley face.

pisces: perfect moments happen by themself. rather than force a feeling, force some time to reflect. forcing feelings rarely works, while forcing reflection allows you to — what am I talking about. go have fun!when do you ever take advice anyway? just do what you do best… love and live. your summer symbol is the anatomical heart.

Do you ever just wonder if you cross someone’s mind as they’re driving home, doing dishes, laundry, the mundane things when it really matters

it's ok to say no if you aren't in a good headspace to help out a friend. it's ok to say no if you don't feel like doing what you've planned anymore because you need time to yourself. it's ok to say no if you're uncomfortable and unsure. it's ok to say no if you just don't want to. it doesn't make you a bad person for putting yourself first.

it’s ok if you didn’t get through everything you planned to do today, you made it through the day and that’s the most important thing. there is always another day ahead of you where you can try again, just take it one day at a time and you will be alright.

you are deserving of love, of being cared for, of receiving nice things, of having a good life. even if you don’t believe you are, you still deserve all of those things.

this is a gentle reminder to stop giving life to moments that no longer exist. your energy cannot change what has already passed; within the present, however, exists a multitude of opportunities that may align you with your most desired reality. focus your energy there—where you can create a life that exceeds your former way of living.
