We are sometimes a lot to handle, but we are not complicated.

Its not in our blood to turn away from someone who needs us or stand passively while someone suffers.

When theres an emotion in our chest, we let it happen.

We let that sadness, that joy, that affection burst through every cell of our being.

We love to loveits in our nature.

We crave connection: real, spiritual, deep.

We want to know the people around us beyond their surface.

We want to feel tied to them somehow.

We are hopeless romantics; every bone in our body believes in love, no matter the cost.

And even when were broken, we still believe we will find love again.

Sometimes were a little too much.

Were overly trusting, letting anyone in.

Were quick to forgive, even when were cut very deeply.

But sometimes thats silly.

We open our souls to everyone, sometimes even strangers, and this can leave us empty sometimes.

And when were neglected, were crushed.

Its not that were crazy, we are just overly emotional.

When we feel sadness, it weighs down our entire being.

We dont give a shot to be complicated; were not intending to be difficult or confusing.

We just need to rebuild our spirits.

And oftentimes, we must do this on our own.

We crave our aloneness sometimesboth in moments of pain and joy.

Sometimes we get tired, having so much emotion and thoughts bouncing around in our brains.

Were artistic beings, always creating, always daydreaming.

We love music and art; we want to understand the meaning behind the things we encounter.

We are a water sign; our feelings are fluid and rushing.

Sometimes were energized by outings; sometimes we need our space.

But ultimately, no matter if were alone or with others, we crave something real.

We want to know the answers to the questions around us.

Were continually asking why, searching for something that matters and makes sense.

In our relationships, we value authenticity.

Pisces are giving creatures.

Sometimes, though, we find ourselves lost in our heads.

Sometimes we lose ourselves in our negativity.

We are sensitive creatures.

We feel and process things much differently than the rest of the world.

Loving us, caring for us, being around usyou will be filled with positivity and affection.

We will shower you with our attention and gifts, both emotional and tangible.

We will put you first.

We will believe in you, stand by you, support you in any obstacle.

We will tell you the little secrets we hide and the emotions we have bubbling in our chests.

We will share our hearts with you, without fear.

We might be a little too much sometimes, but we are not complicated.

We are lovers, healers, caregivers.

We are genuine, emotional Pisces.
