Aquarius

Most small resentments start as reasonable requests that you stopped making because the other person kept finding reasons why not now, not yet, not like that. What begins as patience turns into something harder when you realize you have been building accommodations around someone else's comfort while your own needs get filed under later. The irritation you feel is not about the latest incident but about the pattern you can see from where you sit, the way this always goes. You are holding space for a version of this relationship that the other person has not agreed to participate in, and your body has started keeping score.
