Pride
You want to be the best, not just for the glory but to prove you deserve to be here. You’ve spent your whole life collecting achievements like armor, hoping it will make you feel safe. It’s not that you think you’re better than everyone; you just can’t let yourself be worse. You’re sharp, capable, and deeply afraid of being seen as weak. You don’t have to earn your worth; you already have it. One day, letting go of the performance won’t feel like failure; it will feel like finally being home in your own skin.
Envy
You notice everything. You see who got ahead, who got love, who didn’t have to try so hard. It’s not about being bitter; it’s about being tired of always feeling one step behind. You carry the ache of almost having it and the fear that you never will. You’re not broken for wanting more; you’re just still healing from not having enough. One day, what you have will finally feel like it’s yours, not borrowed, secondhand, but quietly, solidly yours.
Wrath
You feel everything all the way through. When you’re mad, it’s rarely about just one thing; it’s a hundred paper cuts you’ve been ignoring for years. People say you’re intense, but they don’t see how much you’ve held back. You’ve fought for your boundaries so long that now you draw blood. You’re not too much; you’re just not numb. One day, you’ll protect your peace without having to burn bridges to prove you deserve it.
Sloth
You’re not lazy. You’re exhausted. The world asks you to care constantly and you’ve learned that sometimes the only way to survive is to shut down. You dream big, but the climb feels impossibly steep from where you’re lying. Rest is not failure; it’s a sacred act. One day, you’ll have the energy to build something beautiful, not in spite of your pace but because of it.
Greed
You crave security not just for survival but for the power it gives you over your own life. You’ve been burned before, and now you hoard everything that feels like control. Success is your safe word, and you’re always looking for the next win. Beneath it all, you’re scared of having nothing. Let yourself want softness too; you won’t lose yourself in it. One day, the thing you’re chasing will stop feeling scarce, and you’ll finally breathe without bracing for loss.
Lust
You want to be wanted, fully, recklessly, without hesitation. You chase connection like it’s a high because for a moment it quiets everything else. You know how to play the game but still secretly hope someone will see through it. You are full of fire, ache, and longing. Don’t confuse being desired with being known; you deserve both. One day, someone will choose you not for the spark you light in them but for the warmth you carry on your own.
Gluttony
You’re always trying to fill something: time, silence, the sharp edges of your thoughts. You live in the land of “just one more,” whether it’s snacks, episodes, or people who can’t stay. It’s not about indulgence; it’s about comfort and how rare that feels. You’re not weak for needing more; you’re human for noticing the gap. One day, you’ll stop needing to numb and start learning what it feels like to feel full in the right ways.
