Your longing for closeness pulls one way and an old wound about being wanted drags the other, the two straining against each other through your chest. The square between them in your chart sets the centaur, guarding a hurt around your worth, against the heart that keeps reaching for affection anyway, and carrying both at once costs you. You have had to learn to let love in against a voice that doubts you deserve it, something easily-loved people never once have to do. That hard-won tenderness is no accident. The genuine, durable warmth you are capable of was built in the exact strain between your longing and the wound that keeps doubting it.
