Aries

The thing you are afraid of wanting is the same thing you have been quietly preparing for without calling it preparation. You keep noticing opportunities that would require you to step forward in exactly the way that makes your chest tight, and you keep filing them away as interesting but not quite right. The fear and the want are made of the same material, which is why avoiding one means avoiding both. What you call readiness is often just another word for the moment when staying where you are becomes more uncomfortable than the risk of asking for what you actually want.
