mercury retrograde in aries 🌐🌐🌐

hellooo blog smiles. it's been a little bit since i've posted one of these and now felt like a real good time, also, this is the first time i'm updating my blog at a normal time! it's 1pm! not fucking, 4:30 a.m, or something. been taking the time to learn a lot and read a lot and open my mind to new things a lot. you understand.

i've actually gotten really good at reading recently. like i can sit down and read the fuck out of something. i wish there wasn’t this whole like. 2010s culture of “reading literature” having to apply to midsize fiction novels and that alone like. for years i used to be like aw shit i don’t have the patience for books anymore. i guess i’m done with reading for pleasure forever. and like midway through last year i just got into weird hypertext and ergodic lit and i started seeking out plays and poems and short stories and even some nonfiction essays and it’s like. by limiting my pace and seeking out stuff that’s inherently more condensed and simple to read i’ve been having more fun and have been finishing more works instead of like. forcing myself to go through generic fantasy book 781 because People Say It’s Good or something. everybody should yell about novellas more.

anyway,

it's gonna be 1 of “those” months for sure, i felt my vibe shifting a lot over the past week, it's finally time to buckle up for spring fevah. mercury in aries means ~a lot~ of impulsivity, confrontation and possibly argumentation. it's hella important to stay mindful of your ego and consider other peoples perspectives during this time as there's a lot of negative energy due to lack of energetic guidance. april is a month of slowing down and unplugging as it's about to get wild and you don't wanna let yourself get caught up in the escalation of the motions. it's not all bad though, this impulsivity is a good time to unearth confidence in yourself; those with a good heart & intentions will benefit greatly from the free flow of aries. just real important to be kind, always.

personally i'm already feeling and seeing the aggression in my personal life. been meeting a lot of new people [usually i'm not one for putting myself out there], cut out a lot of bad people from my life & my friends have been doing the same, dropping a lot of nasty habits and really staring at myself in the face trying to get closer to my truer self. i have interviews for college and i'm starting job hunting and just have a lot of new shit to look forward to, so much so that i no longer have time to look backwards. it's hectic as shit and frankly a lot on me but it will totally be all worth it in the end i thinks. tryna take it slow so i don't burn myself out. making time to put my head down and get lost in my own personal projects. i've started writing more, performing at an open mic at like, THE poetry event of my country on the 13th. *so scared* *so excited*. everythings been a mindfuck.

wish i had something more introspective to drop here. i'd love to post my writing eventually, but newsletters and magazines and shits are weird about stuff. i'm working on a couple mixtapes, i'll probably put them on here as soon as possible, just so i have something to show for all the work i've been talking about doing hah
