Zodiac Depths

Here’s the splinter: your care is starting to look like custody. When you audit phones, scan guest lists, and hover over calendars, you broadcast fear, not devotion. Surveillance kills intimacy faster than betrayal. The tighter your grip, the less they bring you. Suspicion breeds the secrets you dread. You aren’t preventing loss. You are rehearsing it, daily, with receipts and read-receipts.

Control pretends to be protection because unpredictability terrifies your tidal heart. You build shells: routines, check-ins, location pings. But love is not an aquarium; it needs current. Phones hold private ecosystems. Friends are mirrors you don’t get to angle. Calendars are not contract law. Trade audits for agreements. State your standards once. Watch behavior, not notifications. Let time do the sorting you keep trying to do.
