I am often A. But after having been B for some time and realising it was ridiculous and pointless to feel burdened with someone who wouldn't like me for myself no matter how hard he (we) tried, I decided to become A again. I bid him farewell and let him go, and gladly I must say I felt better after that.


YESSSSSSSS!!!!! It feels so free, doesn't it?

Me & you?

Would you be surprised to learn I have a Venus in Scorpio and I still chose A?

I just saw this review of a Buffy ep, and there's a monologue by the reviewer that I think fits here, on selfless love vs. selfish love (obsession) for about 2 and a half minutes starting here:

The soulless/obsessive love was one of consumption, taking what they wanted even if it hurt their partner (of course they wouldn't WANT it to hurt, but better the other one hurt than the one obsessed).

The description of soulless/vampiric love reminds me of this song about mutually destructive love that topped charts in various countries when it came out (strongly implying that many could relate to this type of love):

I choose "B". I am very passionate, fiery, and I love deeply. "A" sounds like a friendship/lukewarm kind of feeling to me.

Sagittarius Venus in the 5th house
It conjuncts my Sagittarius Sun and trines my Leo Jupiter in the 1st house.
