Aries

The version of yourself you outgrew still shows up in conversations where you find yourself explaining decisions you made months ago. You catch yourself mid-sentence, realizing you are defending a position you no longer hold to someone who was not even asking. The old self lingers not in what you believe but in how you talk about what you used to believe, as if you owe that former version a closing argument. What you actually owe it is the quiet acknowledgment that it served its purpose and can now step back. The conversation you are having today is with the person sitting across from you, not with who you used to be.
