Original Advice
“DONT: Promise forever when you mean six weeks.”
Promise In Units You Can Keep
Stop swearing eternity when you're only intoxicated by the spark. You love the rush of firsts, the echo of your own certainty, the way 'forever' sounds heroic in your mouth. But your attention sprints, then wheezes. People plan around your promises. They buy groceries for a winter you never stay for. Say what you can carry. If it's six weeks, say six weeks. Burn clean, not colossal.
Your word is a blade. Use it to cut truth, not carve fantasies you won't sharpen daily. Cardinal fire ignites quickly; longevity requires rhythm, not hype. Expectation set correctly builds trust, desire, and room to breathe. A precise timeline is intimacy, not limitation. Let people opt in to your pace. Renew commitments by action, not declarations. Build a hearth from sparks by showing up, not swearing oaths.
Cosmic Context
You are cardinal fire: built for ignition, not maintenance. Mars gives you speed; Saturn demands brakes.
