The Risks & Rewards of Taking the Plunge

fuckyeahscorpio:

I’ve been thinking about the duality of Scorpio when they love hot and hate worse when they’ve been betrayed. 

I have a feeling that because knowing all the depth we feel and the dark corners our awareness allows us to see, we’re very selective of who we let glimpse below the surface. Opening up and taking the plunge to explore that with someone takes a lot of trust, and while we’re excited to explore these boundaries and delve into uncertain caverns, we’re always aware of a part of us that knows that others have different limitations, wondering to an extent, ‘can they handle this?’ or ‘what if they don’t like what they see?’ and 'will they abandon me?’

We’re uncompromising with who we are at our core– our likes, our needs, our desires– whether through deep analysis or merely obstinate self-confidence. and we want others to accept and appreciate (and in some cases exalt) those parts of us and our world view the way we do.

We are all too aware of the possiblity (and near certainty of at least some degree) of darkness. Despite wanting to dive deeper, we also know we need to protect ourselves. Dark places can be dangerous to explore alone. 

Trust must be absolute or we tread no further. Exciting as these dark depths are, we need a lifeline to bring us back to the surface. Not that we can’t bring ourselves up by sheer force of will if we have to.

When we find that trust betrayed or unable to withstand necessary pressures, that trust we’ve built up through careful (constant) analysis for something to go wrong, when it does, the bouy is lost, and for a moment we sink.

But certainly not without dragging you down, armed with all the information we’ve gathered and the things we see, sometimes better than yourself. After all when it comes to dark places, we’re adept at navigating and are more than capable of swimming on alone.
