I am a cancer. The heartbreak thing is so true tbh. I’ve dated a Pisces and a Scorpio and a libra and almost a Aries but the Aries dude we were really close tbh so yea. I’m really caring and protective over anybody so that is really true. I do get emotional but not over anything tho just the most upsetting things like the time my Pisces bf wanted to break up but he didn’t know how to tell me. Anyway yea my life is pretty screwed.
