Harmony.

The yin/yang. The balances. The equator. There are many ways to make analogies to harmony. Personally, having my sun in Libra, I understand the art of balance. Having your sun placed in the scales, however, doesn't necessarily mean that you are balanced. It means that you "strive" for balance. I do indeed see both sides of any story. I see the good with the bad. I see every person's point of view in an argument and am willing to accept my own fault when it is valid.
I've come to realize that everyone's point of view is valid. Because it is their reality, just as much as my reality is valid. Once I started to believe this, my life became so much more peaceful. So much more, harmonized.
I have been striving for this for a long time. I don't know if striving is the correct term, because it's actually the process of letting go that has brought these little visions of how to live my life with fluidity. With more fluidity. The more I see it, the more I let go, because it feels so good.
I've been letting go of judgements...of others and myself. Well, first myself. I've been forgiving myself for imperfections. I've been more compassionate about my humanness. I've been able to see beauty that is so intangible. Beauty that has nothing to do with my height, weight, hair color, or any other visual context. In allowing this, I am also able to see this in other people and I am truly amazed by this glorious experience.
It is so easy to let go of trivial shit.
And again, I feel grateful for this experience, this life. Despite its imperfections, or perhaps because of its imperfections.
