#7syllablesentence #vow You can make or break a vow.

Day 6 of #7syllablesentence Today’s word: #vow It’s Beltane & Full Flower Moon in Scorpio so yes, the universe is basically demanding emotional honesty with a dramatic soundtrack. A vow is when you’re done negotiating with your own soul. Write your #7syllablesentence & sign it in moonlight.
