Dark Horse

I want to share my feelings. I love you deeply, but I’m feeling confused. I used to protect my heart and ignore my desires. Now, my financial situation is getting better, and I feel a strong sense of peace. I enjoy my daily life and believe that a higher power is guiding me. 

Recently, though, I’ve noticed a change in how I feel. 
I miss the youthful energy I used to have. I wonder what this means for me. 
Some people might call me a “cougar,” but I often feel out of place, stuck behind society’s expectations. 

I feel drawn to the idea of forming deeper connections, like with the Dark Horse, without feeling guilty. I treasure the memories that evoke emotions, but I also realize that having a youthful spirit is something to celebrate. Society often misses the value I bring, but I embrace my identity and take pride in my heritage. 

In the end, I cherish my free spirit as a precious part of who I am.
