Her beauty drowned me. As I sat in front of her I felt that I would do anything mad for her, anything she asked of me. She was color, brilliance, strangeness.

astrology notes: 18 (love quotes) 🦇‧₊⁺⭒
quick note: i'm absolutely not an astrologer and this post is just for fun.
i understand that some of these quotes or excepts may not be about love when you consider the full context of the poem or work of literature, but this is how i am intepreting and applying them without context.
lastly, keep in mind that i'm not reading your birth chart and i know nothing about you. these are just quotes that remind me of the signs so you may or may not be able to relate to them. enjoy!

How often I tried to kill the “ideal” self, assassinate the critical self. Lose myself. The ideal self is slowly becoming a ridiculous figure. I laugh at it. I must trust my intuition. I love the dark, I love deformities. I prefer my dreaming world, my nightmares, to reality.
