"But core desires like that don’t die, they just shape shift, seeping into other areas of life as a subtle invitation to return to them." I keep returning to this, thinking of Pluto's return to Capricorn, 2008, all the things my 16yo self was dreaming about. The dreams never died, they just shape shifted. Thank you for this reminder. 🥹
