You argued. You made your points well. They listened properly, nodded in the right places, asked one good question, and thanked you for explaining it. They did not change their mind. They were never going to change their mind. The whole conversation, from their side, was an interesting look at how you think. People walk … Read more
Somebody in your life has a plan with actual dates in it. Not a dream. Not a someday. A sequence of steps, with a rough year attached to each one, revised quietly every few months, and never once mentioned at dinner. You may have known them for a decade. You have no idea it exists. … Read more
Sagittarius zodiac sign said the thing everyone was thinking, and the table laughed, and the moment passed. Except it did not pass. Three days later you were still turning that sentence over, because it was not actually a joke. It was accurate. It was delivered as a joke so that nobody had to make it … Read more
Here is the strange thing about writing this one. Almost nobody underestimates a Scorpio. The reputation arrives before they do.

You watched them work a table of strangers, and you thought: all ego. Compliment them, and they will do anything. Easy to read, easy to handle. Everybody thinks that. That … Read more
They asked if you were okay before you knew you were not. That is the first strange thing about them, and most people never think about it again. You walked in, you said hello normally, you were fine. And they looked at you for about a second and a half and asked the question, and … Read more
You had a great conversation with them. You walked away feeling good, feeling heard, feeling like you had just made a friend. It was easy. They were funny.
