Taurus

The hardest thing about carrying someone else's idea of what you should want is that you start to mistake their urgency for your own. You can feel it in the way certain conversations make you tired before they begin, the way you find yourself defending choices you never actually made. What looks like resistance from the outside is often just the slow work of separating what you actually care about from what you have been told to care about. The real relief comes not from meeting the expectation or rejecting it outright, but from recognizing that it was never yours to carry in the first place.
