Sagittarius

The quiet you have been sitting in lately is not the absence of something but the presence of something else entirely. You can feel it in the way conversations have started ending earlier, the way you have begun choosing the longer route home, the space you need between your thoughts and the thoughts of everyone around you. This is not withdrawal but expansion, the kind that requires room to breathe before it can show you what it is becoming. The people who love you may read this quiet as distance, but you know it as the sound of something new taking shape in the only place it can take shape, which is alone.
