"Lord knows I can't change." (lynard skynard)

I'm a Pisces for crying out loud. I have all the traits, the good ones and the bad ones. Apparently we are dreamers, who live partially in an imaginary world of happy endings. Overly sensitive, loyal, compassionate. The compassion thing is both a strength and a weakness, because other people's suffering affects us so deeply.

We don't like rejection and don't deal with it well AT ALL. The most sensitive of all the zodiac signs. They say we are extremely romantic and can completely lose ourselves in love. We're good natured and kind and usually give more than we ask for, but then we turn around and beat ourselves up more than anyone else ever would. Creative. Emotional. Have a tendancy to turn tragedy into creativity. That's where this blog comes into play.

At times it's been an outlet, a way to put feelings into words, whether it was a bad date or a bad run in with my mother. Sometimes, it's almost funny the things that happen. At other times though, it's been serious, and I just wanted to warn others not to stay in a bad situation, but to get out, even if getting out is the hardest thing they've ever done.

Someone I used to love keeps telling me they are sad and lonely in their marriage, miserable at their job. But they get up every morning and go to a job they dislike, go home every night to a wife they don't love. Maybe it's the dreamer-pisces in me, but I can't imagine living that way. Spending hours, weeks, years being less than happy.

Life is too short. So as much as sometimes I complain on here that I'm not where I want to be, don't have enough friends, feel lonely without a partner in life...I'm free. And when you're free anything can happen. Sometimes, if you're very lucky, you can fly.
