Libra
It's a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to lose control completely? To throw off all the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves?
Donna Tartt
The things you carry from your family arrive without your consent, but they stay because of the choices you make about them every day. Some of what you inherited serves you well, and some of it creates problems you have to solve over and over. The hardest part is not the weight of what was passed down, but the way you find yourself managing other people's reactions to how you handle it. You make small adjustments to avoid the conversations that would force everyone to name what is actually happening. What feels like consideration is often just the daily work of keeping a system running that no one designed on purpose.
