I became twenty-six years old today in the pre-dawn hours, and I've got to tell you, it's been one hell of a tour so far. I was born with the Sun in Taurus, the Moon in Libra on the cusp of Scorpio, had Gemini Rising to weave my mask, and I've been raising Caine ever since. Honestly, my past follows the stars well, and I am, for now at least, eager to create tomorrow. To greet this new chapter, I did something uncharacteristic of me today: I made a phone call and let someone I love go with my sincere blessing. I put aside my own wants, and set out to aid in nothing but their happiness, even though it meant I had to give something huge away to do it.
To know something and to realize it are two different things, and I realized today that love means sacrifice, and sometimes the ultimate show of that love is to release a person from obligation, and let them move on. It was an important lesson to learn for me, and by living it out, I gained not only the forgiveness that I needed , but an ounce of salvation as well. In loss I've gained a second chance in this, and through that, I've been given the best present I could have gotten.
