i believe in horoscopes well kind of you're confused is an inspirational thing nor is it super relatable or funny everytime i've admitted that i buy into that stuff i get the same reaction wait but aren't you you know reasonable yes i'm perfectly aware of the reputation horoscopes hold it has been pointed out to me multiple times that life when i'm told the exact same way whether i'm inside a tireless or not and yet i am truly and deeply superstitious wash me on the day of the big test and i'll be honestly convinced that if i don't wear that lucky shirt i'm doomed the morning of the s a t is some witchcraft ritual all to itself and i got an email every verse of the month at nine am right in the middle of pa's dak telling me my monthly horoscope is always the inevitable question leg going in the back of my head why do i believe this when my life becomes a type of girl the staples all her essays with the same stapler because you really think that makes for a better grade and the reality is that i don't believe in it because it gives my life some sort of existential meaning or that it finds me to the celestial movements of sky it's more just but it's kind of fun how many people are born under each sign probably hundreds of millions and yet i can still make connections from these suggestions and descriptions into my own life this isn't some humongous deal but it makes you feel important it's not like i really believe that everything is set out and meant to be but it's reassuring to find something that has a kooky explanation advice i got in the day before to take care of myself and took a rest day not to say that this horoscope somehow figured my life out or made it happen but it gave me the nudge i needed to step back for a second horoscopes are that accurate they don't dictate the way  my day will go or the way my life will turn out but i choose to believe in them sometimes because sometimes logic is overrated and all you need is an email and pas acar minding you and a couple hundred million other side to talk to take care of yourself
