Born Today?
A reading for your birthday. Sagittarius season.
If you want to be somebody, you gonna have to pay your dues. You can't just walk into it.
James Baldwin
Your Year of the Clean Translation. This is the year you stop losing things between what you mean and what you say, and the gap closes in the best possible way. The dues are paid. The fluency is yours now, and you will feel it most in the moments where you simply say no and the word lands exactly as intended, without apology, without a long explanation trailing behind it. Something in April asks you to walk through a door that doesn't fit, and you decline it with such ease that you almost laugh at yourself. By midsummer, the right room finds you instead. A project clicks into language so clean and exact that other people repeat your framing back to you like they invented it. This year, what you mean and what arrives are finally the same beautiful thing.
