Aries

The version of yourself you outgrew is still talking, still making its case for why you should listen. It shows up in the voice that apologizes before asking for what you need, in the pause before you state a preference, in the way you frame your own ideas as questions. You can hear the negotiation happening in real time now, the old self trying to broker a deal with the room. What you are learning is that some conversations end not because both sides agree, but because one side stops participating.
