So this may very well be the first blog since my first blog to be totally unplanned. I think it's important I do this more often. Like I said, I'm always doing the astrology thing. Might as well do it where others might get something out of it.
Maybe people don't get my intentions. Maybe they think I'm just some crazy (or annoying) girl that has astrological word vomit. I don't mean to make it the topic of conversation (outside of this blog, of course). It's just that everything relates to it! The people I meet, I can't help but figure them out! And when I do, I get excited that I was able to, all because I became so fascinated with this study.
It's crazy how this whole life style snowballed to where it is today. Anyone who has met me in the last year can't even imagine a version of me not fixated on the stars (or redbull for that matter- I am easily identified with both!)
I wasn't always this way, though. I guess on that note, these same friends I've made through out this past year, relatively new to the life of Laura Ashley, would never be able to imagine a version of me overweight either. Or the homebody version of me, who returned home from work everyday just to do more work and watch bad TV with my animals. I never went out! I had never even had a redbull before! Some of you may have never met this version of me, and the ones that did may have forgotten, but that girl was miserable.
Then one day, when it felt like everything was crashing down on me, I realized I wasn't really living. I stopped worrying about what others thought, and I escaped it all by giving life a chance. It was kind of like a "Yes, Man" revelation, where I went from never going out- to going out all the time. Except instead of saying yes to everything, I let the stars decide.
If I could pin point it to one night, it was almost exactly one year ago. I had been out that day, and even though it was totally practical to go home at that point, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I wasn't satisfied with the day's activity intake yet. I needed to live a little more. So waiting before I made my next move, I stumbled across the horoscopes. It said something to the affect that today, I should take on any adventure that presented itself.
So I did.
Moments later an actual adventure presented itself, and I put my faith in the stars.
That night I allowed myself to have an amazing time. I went out to a part of Long Island I'd never been to with a reconnected Aries friend that invited me, and I had the time of my life. (You guys are gonna love this- the place was Kasey's in RVC and that's where I had my first redbull!) That night I met someone that would become a significant influence on who'd I become, another Aries, VJ. I actually predicted he was an Aries before he told me, guessing solely based on the fact that all of my Aries friends, including the one who invited me to RVC, had birthdays that week- and I was feeling surrounded!
Getting to the point- I would have never gone out or made the important connections with the many amazing Aries I just so happened to be hanging with that night, if I had not let the stars guide me. With that, I started to learn more. And little by little I let myself trust it.
Eventually, my astrological perspective could not be turned off. As the months went on, and I became acquainted with more and more incredible individuals that would forever contribute to who I am today, I couldn't help but notice the patterns present among my social exchanges. My Aries friends were all so...and Gemini men kept...(fill in the appropriate astrological stereotype)and so on and so forth! I finally had a good read on others, and a better, real understanding of myself. And I found happiness and peace with that.
That's the point I guess. That's where my astrological intentions come in. I'm just happier now then I was before. That's all. No big deal really; except if I hadn't put my faith in astrology I wouldn't have all the amazing individuals I've met over the last year, and they wouldn't have me. Not this version of me any way. Not without astrology. Now, I'm no longer fearful. I am no longer stressed. I'm sure of everything I do, and it's reasons. I have faith in something I can truly believe in. I really do. I practice what I preach.
The hope is that by sharing my experiences with astrology's positive influence in my life, others may become more open-minded and aware of the cosmos, and maybe even inspire some to learn more about their place in the stars. I mean what's the worst that can happen, you live happily ever after? <3.
