what do you guys think? i ask because i've been through some shit...probably you could think it up and it's happened to me. i used to block things up, have a real emotional constipation thing going on. until last year, really. now i cry, i howl, i rant, i become best friends with a bottle of asti, i go to my mum's, sleep in her bed...all of that seems to rush the recovery along.

sometimes i get so down it's like i'm being blinded by darkness. if that makes sense? then simple things like fresh air, sunlight, music and writing seem to ooze the pain out. its such overwhelming euphoria when i start to feel more 'in' myself and that boundless optimism starts to wink at me once more. what's more, i don't seem to hold onto pain either, once it's gone, it's...gone. be it bereavment, abuse, breakups, whatever.

don't get me wrong, i'm very grateful for it. sometimes i wonder if i'm just fickle. or absorbing pain and letting it drip out elsewhere. but i doubt it. i genuinely move on and feel great that it happens. do any of you feel that way?

maybe you haven't found the right person to open up to yet, but i think once you have walls up, guess what? you're behind that wall. and it's isolating. maybe it's even harder for men, actually. i don't know.

as for love, that's something else i don't understand. but looking at where our emotional triggers lie helps. so when you see it coming you may be better prepared for it. love enters, sometimes it sticks and sometimes it doesn't but each union is a gift to us. maybe of self-discovery, or opening up a new thought process, or becoming more grounded in ourselves.

i also think the quest for love is a gift and a curse. just thinking how somebody can lift you up to new heights, you put your emotions in the palm of their hand and all they have to do is drop you...and it feels like that's all taken away. so you have to get up, shake the dust off, rearrange your clothes and take a few dazed steps into a new direction.

i agree with you about love keeping you optimistic. when i'm in love there's a glow surrounding everything. i do treat it with wariness, though. it's like a big old cat with luxurious fur but huge fangs and if you stroke it in the wrong spot it can turn on you and bite. so for me love isn't enough to keep me happy...it's more about spritual fufillment...

'When you think you are fine going about life as you normally would...you sit a ponder and realise if life is continuingly throwing the same crap at you then the change needs to come from within...
I don't know but the changes I made internally for myself have given me a new insight ...of course Pisces can remain in their comfort zone for years but it's rather lonely that way...and being stubborn doesn't help either...I had always turned some thing so minute into a negative outlook...now I brush that shit off my shoulder...it's a whatever approach but in a positive mindset...it all comes down to rewiring your thinking process and believing in a higher power to guide you and give guidance to your very soul...
I'm not religious but spiritual and not to just one...and I use prayer and music to soothe me and find the best path to follow...the universe will lead the way...I find when I have forgotten what I have asked for in regards to guidance ...it has cropped up unexpectedly...
Pisces fall into that comfort zone..and it's ok to try something new it won't change who you are...it will just change the circumstances that come forth into your life...into a much brighter happier and clearer atmosphere/path...it's all a learning process...it doesn't happen overnight and it takes time...but it so brings peace to our inner core of our soul...and we do so need that as we can be our own worse enemy with self doubt and that lack of motivation to try something out of our comfort zone...'



there's so much of your post i agree with, but especially the above part. i think alot of it boils down to avoiding becoming a 'victim'. and i believe spiritualism will guide a pisces right. well, anyone. when we stamp our feet and curse our fortunes, we kind of miss the point that by having such a negative reaction we're actually blocking our potential for something better coming our way.

and the comfort zone part, too. sometimes we get hung up over things we know won't evolve us but out of familiarity we hang on, refusing change and wallowing in the depths of confusion. it's a sad state to be in. i have to remind myself to lift out of my physical feelings and connect with my soul...because otherwise those depths are there to drag you under and keep you there. i used to run from love, play games and flake. and funnily enough, it was also a cancer who changed me. i see that love makes me connect to the world in a new way. i get inspired by it...

The thing I always find about Pisces (and I include myself in this) is that when we go through shit it seems to hit us harder than most.

I've been through a ton of crap over the years but no worse than a lot of my friends, they just seem to have dealt with it better than I have.

Over the years though each experience has made me stronger and toughened me up so I'm much more able to handle whatever turd situation life decides to throw at me. Although I still have my moments. I usually find a day or two of solitude sorts me right out. I'll throw things or cry whatever, anything just to get it all out. But at my lowest points I do find I need to be on my own, plus I don't want to drag anyone down with me. Once I've had my time out though I'll call a friend and we'll talk it out - something I never used to do. Nah I did the whole "I'm fine leave me alone" crap when really I wasn't. Then I'd resent people for not "being there" for me. Lol. Typical Pisces. 😛

I also used to bury my head in the sand a lot - do the whole "it's not happening this isn't real" crap some Pisces do when life gets too tough. I'd go on a 3-4 day bender and just ignore it. I've learned though to just face shit head on and say right what do I have control over and can do something about.

Despite all the crap I've had though I feel like I'm a lucky person. Maybe it's the strong Jupiter aspects in my chart. Always felt like someone's watching over me and even in my darkest moments there's always been something or someone that's pulled me out of it.

this is just what i meant 🙂

i did the bender/averting reality thing too. it got old really fast. now when i face things, like really face them and not bury them in fake smiles and avoiding the topic- i heal much faster. genuinely heal, not carry it still.

could be that jupiter influence, who knows?
