I saw the valentine you wrote for your partner in The Stranger. The nickname you used for them stuck out, as did the fact that you seemed to have gotten engaged. I could be wrong about the valentine being yours, but my hunch is based off of many things—including a little thing I never told you.
Remember you told me you were Capricorn moon, and I made a joke about my Capricorn dad? The quiet part I didn’t say out loud was that my ex of five years—the one who I had just left before I met you—was also a Cap moon.
And as a Taurus moon like your partner (fiancée?), I felt very strongly attached to him, like he was my ride or die. Even broken up, he and I remain close friends. If we had been more compatible in other ways, then maybe we would have ended up like you two. Or maybe you and I could have been friends if we’d dated longer. Who knows?
If my hunch is correct, congratulations. It doesn’t matter anymore, but I miss you. A few months ago I saw you at a crossroads, but you were headed in another direction.

Man, idiots into astrology need to get their freaking heads examined. Toward that end, I’ve a great phrenologist that comes highly recommended if anyone is interested.
@1: You sound like you need your galvanic fluid recalibrated in Dr Mesmer’s rejuvenating magnetosphere. It cures a great many ailments, including cynicism!
@1 and 2. Exactly! Lol
@1,2,3
If you don’t have anything nice, helpful, or witty/smart to say, it’s best to shut up.
@4: You new here?
Anyhow, this I,A bugged the shit out of me. Not because of astrology – whoopty doo. Plenty of people base their thoughts on relationships on stuff way, WAY dumber than astrology.
No, this I,A bugs me because it has no stakes and no easily identified personalities. It’s just a drawn out “I miss you (if this is you)”.
Snore.
Grade: D- because this wasn’t as sad/mopey as a worse version of it could have been.
@5: please cite two examples of outlooks dumber than astrology.
sounds like whoever you’re talking about dodged a bullet
I couldn’t follow what this person was saying, it was complete random babbling, something about astrology and Valentines day. You know, that was like a month ago and like St. Patrick’s day it’s a fake holiday, one to get dummies to waste money on chocolate and sappy greeting cards the other one at least kind of fun to get you to buy more alcoholic beverages. Whatever. But I am pretty sure that the Stranger staff is so desperate for a halfway decent IA that they are using AI to generate fake ones but now none of it makes any sense. Maybe you guys shouldn’t have banned me. Mine were offensive but at least kind of coherent.
Tell me you published this for comic relief, Stranger.

@4 But they WERE witty. You, on the other hand…
