Ode to Cancers
Whether you get down with astrology or not, life lessons from a Cancer will always come in handy.
No one will argue with you, especially them, when you say they’re the most emotional friends you have. Save it though. They’ve heard that shit before. Depending on how fiery you are, you’ve probably deeply offended them at least once or twice. But they forgive you. They’re sentimental in ways you don’t know how to be. If y’all are tight, I’ll bet my bank account that they have a physical object (or 20) in their house that reminds them of you. Despite being slightly adverse to leaving home (preferring to have you over instead), they’re always the ones checking in to make sure you have adequate birthday plans. (You never do.) Probably because they’ve silently been watching you do life in a stubborn, independent fashion for far too long with an almost grandmotherly concern. Their intuition is on point. So much so that they sometimes have weird dreams about your wellbeing. The Cancers in my life give me a sweet sibling-like love that I didn’t know I was missing.
