fire sign
art story
I’m a Sagittarius which is one of the fire signs of the zodiac.
Leading up to my birthday, I’ve been posting Sagittarius memes. In reading these, I was struck by the intensity of the energy that came through these images and words about Sagittarius individuals.
In a gathering later that day, I mentioned that, in sharing the memes, it had occurred to me that perhaps I came across to others as this intense ball of energy. Without a blink several heads nodded.
And I laughed. Because I know it is true. And I also love this about myself.
But the first thought, the very first thought, was ‘perhaps I am too much’.
That ever happen to you? Especially around something about yourself that you like and enjoy?
Yeah.
It is not your voice. It is the voice of all the stories we’ve been fed and enculturated with by those around us. We’ve assimilated them so deeply, that they feel like our own voice.
Part of the deconstruction that we’re doing is finding and letting go of just these sorts of voices, stories, and masks.
I am fire. I am intense.
