I want so much to subsist on
my horoscope.

I am Scales,
inclining with the clang of each
new weight
upon my metal.

I want it to be true:
today is a good day
to deepen an
existing relationship.

how about
simply learning
to exist?
it comes with such ease
to some.

I ask for nothing, Stars,

just the smallest suggestion
of contentedness.

I've always wondered what it would be like to live life according to my horoscope... especially the Cosmo-type ones. Can you imagine? "The 15th is a great day to ask that guy out!" And just do it? Haha. I can't decide if it would be a catastrophic failure or not

Lol...why don't you live your life by Cosmo for awhile and tell me how that works out for you... :P

I know I shouldn't stress about the future, but sometimes it's hard not to. But you're right, things do have a way of working out in the end.

And thanks for the congrats! I don't have to pick a topic until next year, but I need to be thinking about it seriously now and over summer. I'm actually doing the creative thesis next year, and then hopefully a critical one senior year. Yes, I'm insane. well-aware of that fact, actually. But I figure this way I can sort of ease myself into it. I don't even know if it's gonna be fiction/poetry/nonfiction yet. Yikes. I'll let you know when I get there, lol.

:D
