Getting Lucky

There’s an old folk story saying the face you have now is the face of a past lover. Someone you adored and knew their face well. As someone who has lived much life full of doubt and negativity about my appearance - this notion works well for me. I look at myself differently. I see myself. I catch glimpses of my face and say, “wow, what a beauty.”

I think about the men I've loved and the ones who made it clear to me they see the beauty in me, too. “What a beautiful gal,” he used to say. He had a broken heart but he seemed to see the me I see. Just a couple of sagittarius roaming around with our planet, Jupiter, getting lucky.
