Fear may fight it
but your affection for me
does not go unrequited
I push and I shove
but deep down
there’s pure love
for everything you are
for everything you’re not
you say you love more
but my heart is what you’ve got
it’s all I have to give
for as long as I shall live
A while back, I wrote a little article on Why This Pisces Girl Loves Her Aries Man. Today, I wanted to reflect on Schwabs and I’s union and expand on a few more reasons why our love works and only continues to grow stronger everyday.
Before I go any further (and make some readers nauseous with all this gushy love talk) I must emphasize, we are not the perfect couple and we certainly don’t pretend to be. Just like every long-lasting relationship, we have our fair share of fights and irritating the heck out of each other. While we definitely still see a situation from very different perspectives, over time, we have gotten better about trying to see something from two perspectives instead of one. I guess you could say, we try to put on each others thinking caps and that helps us not veer too far off track. It’s not always easy…this compromise, give-and-take thing…But for a love like this, it’s definitely worth the effort.
In just a few short weeks, we will be celebrating our five year wedding anniversary and eight years of togetherness. I know in the big scheme of things, this time is just a drop in the hat, but for a flighty pisces, eight years is practically a lifetime. And if that’s the case, I look forward to spending many lifetimes with him. Here are a few more reasons why:
One of the more popular inquires related to the pisces girl is: “Will my pisces girl ever come back?” If you’ve made it here, I’m assuming you’ve sat front row during one of her magic acts. You know, the one where she pulls a rabbit out of her hat and mysteriously disappears? Yeah, she’s taken years to perfect that disappearing act of hers and I don’t mean to boast, but she is THE MASTER of it.
You see, the other sensitive water signs have an exterior means of protection: The crabby cancers have their shells and pinchers, the stingy scorpios have their venom-filled tails, but the fishies have got nothing. Nothing, that is, but their ability to swim and swim fast. Please understand, once she’s been baited and hooked, she’s screwed. So she better make sure she takes the right bait. Or if she doesn’t, then she’s gotta be clever enough to wiggle off the hook and disappear back into the ocean. No doubt life has taught her these tough lessons and she is anything but a poor student.
What all this means to you is that when she doesn’t feel like she is in safe company, she swims away. Coming from the highest, most surface level perspective, her reason for swimming away is as simple as that. Of course, it’s up to you to understand the entire depth of her reasoning. Each situation is unique to the individuals involved.
So you want to know if she’ll ever come back…and I really hate the be the bearer of bad news, but in 90% of circumstances, the answer is no, she won’t. For all of her indecisiveness, once she’s made the decision to leave, she usually sticks to it with stubborn resolve. After all, life is too short to waste on old experiences when newer ones are always waiting just around the corner.
For the remaining 10 percenters, there is a glimmer of hope, as there will always be exceptions to the rule. Here are a few situations in which she just might do an about-face and swim right back to you:
Funny how it seems the older I get, the less crap I want to put up with my in life. I’m not saying that I’m all wise and mighty. Lord knows I still have soooo much growing up and learning to do, but my years have helped me learn at least a few things.
There are many people who joke about wanting to be 21 forever, but not me. I’m happy to be approaching 30. I am more confident in my own skin today than I EVER was at 21 and I consider that a blessing to be recognized and celebrated.
Just the other day, my friends and I (who always transform back into 14 year-olds when we are together) were noticing how lately, the compliments we receive now come with caveats. Compliments like,
“You’re 29?! Wow! You look great for your age.”
Ugh, it’s not fair. Women lose their youth and they become old hags, while men get to lose their youth and become debonair. Well I say, screw that. Next time some idiot tells me I look good for my age, I’m going to correct them.
“NO. I look good, period…End of observation.”
See how great getting older can be? You start to embrace your inner awesomeness, grow a pair and care less and less what others think about that. Mainly, because you start to realize that it’s YOUR life and the only person you can live it for is you! Also, as age starts to creep at your backdoor, you begin to understand that what’s most important is working on becoming the best version of yourself. Afterall, that’s all you can really be.
So, without further ranting, here are a few hard-learned lessons that I hope can inspire all you young whipper-snappers to start living sooner than later…for you and no one else:
1. Not EVERYONE is going to like you and there’s nothing wrong with that.
2. You are never too old to learn new things.
3. You are never too young to gain wisdom from life’s experiences.
4. Mistakes are necessary. They show that you’re trying and bring you insight. Don’t beat yourself for them.
5. Only boring people care about being “normal.” Unique is beautiful…and waaaaaaay more fun.
Have you ever wondered what a Pisces Girl in love is like?
Truth be told, when a Pisces woman falls in love, she gets a little (or a lot) crazy. Jealousy? Check. Possessive? Check. Insecure and Paranoid? Check and Check. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not ALL bad. To be on the receiving end of a Pisces Girl’s love can be quite an experience as the object of her affection will be smacked with wave after wave of passion and emotions. A man not prepared for such an expansive expression of feelings may find himself drowning in her affections and reaching out to gasp for air. But a brave soul who isn’t afraid to learn how to ride the waves…well, that’s the kind of man who can really appreciate what a Pisces Girl’s love is all about.
Instead of doing the usual write-up, I thought I share a list of songs that might give a glimpse into the deep and strange ways of how a Pisces woman can love. These are all links to Youtube, so turn up your speakers and get ready to sing along.
1. Clumsy, by Fergie
I’ve heard this song a million times but the other day, I took the time to really listen to the lyrics and it hit me…this is EXACTLY how a Pisces Girl feels when she’s falling in love: clumsy, silly and tripping all over herself. Just look at these lyrics:
You got me tripping, stumbling, flipping, fumbling
Clumsy cause I’m falling in love
You got me slipping, tumbling, sinking, fumbling
Clumsy cause I’m falling in love
So in love with you
and when love doesn’t work out for the Pisces girl, her whole world crumbles. Luckily, she is a resilient soul who is in love with being in love, so she always finds a way to bounce back:
You know, this isn’t the first time this has happened to me
This love sick thing
I like serious relationships and a girl like me don’t stay single for long
Cause every time a boyfriend and I break up
My world is crushed and I’m all alone
The love bug crawls right back up and bites me
and I’m back!
Ever wish you could get a quick overview of a Pisces woman without all the lengthy write-ups and strenuous reading it requires? I feel your pain. For the lazy Pisces Girl googler, here is a quick list of words to describe both the nice and naughty sides of Pisces Girl. Hope it’s not too much of a strain!
Ever looked at Pisces Girl lost in her own little world and wondered “what is going on in that mind of hers?”
Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but you’ll never know the half of it. Typically, she’s got a million and one things running through her brain and even if you asked her nicely, she’s not so keen on sharing her inner dialogue with anyone. Her thoughts and her secrets are hers to keep. But just for fun, here are some totally random fleeting thoughts THIS Pisces Girl has had. Perhaps your girl has had them too.
1. I’m NOT a snob damnit! I just get shy and nervous around people I don’t know.
2. It’s cool to look, but the staring is starting to weird me out.
3. I hope you like me.
4. What do you mean “It’s silly to believe?” It’s sillier to NOT believe.
5. Uhhh, yeeeeaaahhhh. You can play your games while I go —->>> this way…
6. My heart hurts for him/her. How can I help?
7. Please put your hands on my feet now!
8. What is the bigger picture in this situation?
9. Sometimes I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders and no one gets it…poor me.
10. Who cares about money, possessions or status? Love is the most important thing of all.
This morning, Schwabs and I had a moment that perfectly demonstrates just how opposite an Aries and a Pisces can be.
We were eating breakfast tacos and Red Bull when a belch the size of Texas slipped out of me (gross, I know.) A few seconds later, Schwabs, always having to out-do me, belched louder and grosser.
“I win! Mine was better,” he declared proudly with a little-boy twinkle in his eye.
I turned to him teasingly, “You know, not everything is a competition.”
Without skipping a beat, he looked me straight in the eye and retorted “Everything IS a competition…and I’ve already whooped your ass!”
*Insert eye-roll here* What. EVER. That’s just my Aries husband being, well, an Aries!
Okkkkaaaay, Schwabs. You Win.
