That talk…
Finally got some time to spend with myself lately, like catching up with an old friend I’ve missed for a while. I’m glad you’re here, keeping me company.
You look different this time—warmer, kinder. You make me feel better now. Thank you for sticking around. Even when I wasn’t the easiest to be with.
Life stumbled, tripped, and, in my case, probably my career. I almost unsubscribe myself. I guess I’m still lucky, no matter how many bad decisions. I always find my way back to you, but hey, progress.
What is courage, you know? I can’t put it into words, but I swear—it feels a lot like freedom.
How about we go out for a walk? In a park, just the two old friends are contemplating life like we used to.
And you know what? I think I just found my muse—right next to my will to have some joy for the rest of my life.
Glad we get to do this real talk. What have we been up to? Been misbehaving, huh? Remind each other of what matters. Did you take a break at all?
Or should we flip back to Shambhala Chapter 14 and pretend like we’ve got enlightenment all figured out?
We both know my story is a messy chapter. You could cry a river, crawl back to the same old cocoon—but then what?
I mean, do what you have to do, but maybe we can learn the meaning from it. Never mind what’s out of your control. Fly higher and free like a butterfly.
Flying East—my life is so much joy this way. And if I hit a dead end? I’m flipping a U-turn because I don’t have time for that nonsense.
Never forget what’s been riding on your shoulders this whole time—kindness and courage. They’re growing with you to the end.
Because the road will be more missteps, more bad calls, but accept what is and forgive what was—‘cause it brought you here and is what makes it beautiful.
Stay humble and open to everything around you. I think I’m starting to get it. Gentleness takes strength; real strength is the courage to let things be.
Honestly, these conversations keep me sane. It feels like I’m just here, rambling to myself like crazy. But hey, at least I know I’ve got someone who always listens—me.
