Born Today?
A reading for your birthday. Gemini season.
Literature is the only art in which the audience performs the score.
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
The decision that has been following you around for weeks is probably not the life-changing crossroads it feels like when you think about it at three in the morning. Most choices that feel enormous in the anticipation turn out to be adjustments, not revolutions, and the weight you have been carrying belongs more to the act of choosing than to what gets chosen. You have been treating this like the decision that will define everything that comes after, when it is more likely the decision that will teach you something about how you actually make decisions. The year ahead is the one that shows you the difference between the story you tell yourself about a choice and the choice itself. What felt like standing at a crossroads was really standing in a place where you could finally see how many small decisions you had already been making all along.
