It may have recently felt like you were living in an extended dreamtime of which you are currently waking from-though you aren’t altogether with it yet. With Mars in your sign for the next 5 weeks, you are being asked to or are feeling your need for your get up and go to get going. But it’s not an unobstructed course that you are on, this week is a little more upstream than down. This isn’t a bad thing even if it isn’t an easy one. This week’s stops and starts may demand that you make a choice about what direction you wish to go in, after all Mars is initiating you into a new two-year cycle of taking direct (or in your signs case, sort of direct) action towards your goals. With Saturn in your Tenth House asking you to be your own boss/master/authority this bodes well even though they are about to bump up against each other in a not so friendly manner come mid week. On Thursday, Mars will square Saturn. This isn’t a friendly frolic and you’ll most likely be feeling the tension build throughout the week. This isn’t a happy happenstance so if you are prone to being a grumpy pants this week might give you a wedgey. This aspect is indicative of a direct conflict that is pushing you towards some kind of action or at the very least pushing you towards acknowledging what isn’t working for you and/or your need to be an independent fish. You can’t always swim with the school and it’s ok to go it alone or it’s necessary at least to acknowledge that you have certain desires that can only be fulfilled by you. You can get a lot done and you can get it done with more efficiency if you take a pause to get right with the obligations that you have to yourself.

Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening. Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed.

It’s taboo to admit that you’re lonely. You can make jokes about it, of course. You can tell people that you spend most of your time with Netflix or that you haven’t left the house today and you might not even go outside tomorrow. Ha ha, funny. But rarely do you ever tell people about the true depths of your loneliness, about how you feel more and more alienated from your friends each passing day and you’re not sure how to fix it. It seems like everyone is just better at living than you are. A part of you knew this was going to happen. Growing up, you just had this feeling that you wouldn’t transition well to adult life, that you’d fall right through the cracks. And look at you now. La di da, it’s happening.Your mother, your father, your grandparents: they all look at you like you’re some prized jewel and they tell you over and over again just how lucky you are to be young and have your whole life ahead of you. “Getting old ain’t for sissies,” your father tells you wearily.You wish they’d stop saying these things to you because all it does is fill you with guilt and panic. All it does is remind you of how much you’re not taking advantage of your youth.You want to kiss all kinds of different people, you want to wake up in a stranger’s bed maybe once or twice just to see if it feels good to feel nothing, you want to have a group of friends that feels like a tribe, a bonafide family. You want to go from one place to the next constantly and have your weekends feel like one long epic day. You want to dance to stupid music in your stupid room and have a nice job that doesn’t get in the way of living your life too much. You want to be less scared, less anxious, and more willing. Because if you’re closed off now, you can only imagine what you’ll be like later.Every day you vow to change some aspect of your life and every day you fail. At this point, you’re starting to question your own power as a human being. As of right now, your fears have you beat. They’re the ones that are holding your twenties hostage.Stop thinking that everyone is having more sex than you, that everyone has more friends than you, that everyone out is having more fun than you. Not because it’s not true (it might be!) but because that kind of thinking leaves you frozen. You’ve already spent enough time feeling like you’re stuck, like you’re watching your life fall through you like a fast dissolve and you’re unable to hold on to anything.I don’t know if you ever get better. I don’t know if a person can just wake up one day and decide to be an active participant in their life. I’d like to think so. I’d like to think that people get better each and every day but that’s not really true. People get worse and it’s their stories that end up getting forgotten because we can’t stand an unhappy ending. The sick have to get better. Our normalcy depends upon it.You have to value yourself. You have to want great things for your life. This sort of shit doesn’t happen overnight but it can and will happen if you want it.Do you want it bad enough? Does the fear of being filled with regret in your thirties trump your fear of living today?We shall see.

You’re Not Making The Most Of Your 20s by Ryan O’Connell (via lizolsen)

I think the idea that my twenties can be held hostage is what's holding my twenties hostage.

Alternately: being twenty-four feels like punishment for not being sixteen hard enough the first time around.
