Sagittarius

Most of my life I've felt left out from everyone and everything, almost distanced in a way, but not on purpose. Friends would come and go, family wouldn't stay around, and people seemed to not really understand me or my unique perspective of life.

For as long as I can remember, I don't believe I've ever had more of a connection with someone as I do with life itself. Life to me makes sense and I understand all the small details of things, the intricacies, and the things people typically don't see. I can sit by a lake, and have intelligent thoughts about the ripples in the water, what had caused it, the rock formations around me, how erosion has affected them in the past to make it what it is today, the animals that would live around, their biological systems, how they work, etc. The list goes on, my mind cannot look at something plainly, there's always more to grab it, more information to learn, more to simply understand. Ways I can better myself, those around me, and our planet.

Life is a journey, we all know that, and there are many hills on which we sometimes have no choice but to climb, and we mostly never know what lies on the other side. But there's always a chance that paradise could be over that hill, all it takes is a little effort.

I've faced many hardships in my young life, all from my infancy up to this day. Countless hills I've had to climb, regardless of if I wanted to or not, situations that were simply out of my control but I still had to deal with for extended periods of times.

Zodiac signs never crossed my mind until I was maybe 14 or 15. I'd always had a fascination with space, stars, mythology, philosophy, or anything out of the norm. So zodiac signs really piqued my interest, as it seemed to be forbidden knowledge that my ancestors would probably gasp at.

I still remember reading my first lengthy horoscope, every paragraph blew my mind away, it was as if whoever wrote it knew me more than I knew myself at the time. Being still so young I was eager to learn even more, I delved deeper and deeper into more sources to make sure it wasn't just a hoax or dumb luck that I found one that was basically 'me'.

It was as if someone had followed me and my thoughts, catalogued the way I did things, and everything in between, for my entire life. Up to that point I felt there was nobody else like me, that I was so different, like some bigfoot living in a society that simply did not understand me. But here I was, reading what felt like a dream of a biography. For once in my life I no longer felt lost, I no longer felt alone, I knew that someone out there either was just like me, or at least understood me.

A sagittarius is usually someone who is extroverted, optimistic, enthusiastic, and embraces changes. With an open mind and philosophical mindset that motivates them to wander around this world seeking the meaning of life. An ambitious person who is able to transform their thoughts into concrete actions and willing to do anything to achieve their goals.

To be constantly in touch with the world around them and experience as much as they possibly can, with an enthusiasm that has no limit, therefore they posses a great sense of humor and an intense curiosity.

Now with every strength comes weakness, and that couldn't be more true. A sagittarius is self-sufficient and therefore often rejects others to avoid any and all complications. They can become too idealistic and detached from reality, leaving them with a feeling of loneliness.

Boredom seems to come too easily to this star sign, they don't focus on anything for too long. Since they abhor boredom, this leads to lack of consistency. If there is a project without challenge, they simply leave that project without finishing it and won't care about it anymore. Furthermore, they hate commitment, as they fear to be bound. To function properly, they require ample space. Since they seek adventure and excitement most of the time, they seldom get bored.

If that wasn't me in a nutshell then I don't know what is. If you've read horoscopes you'll notice some are pretty lengthy, some go into immense detail that seems almost too specific. Those are just the basics mentioned above, but believe me, there's way more, most of which is too accurate.

Now, I've never met another Sagittarius and had this kind of conversation with them, to see how true it is for them as it is for me. But I'm sure there's another person out there that actually gets it, that can maybe fully understand me and my life. That gives me the comfort I've never had, it pushes me even further, and is almost similar to a tutorial on how to be my true self. Simply because now, I have some idea of who I am, how I should be, and what I should focus on.

If I had never read my zodiac before, I feel I would still feel lost, misunderstood, and alone to wander the world with no purpose. There is power in knowledge and now I feel I have an advantage in my life, to be my best self.
