Dear Self,
I am ready to stop now.
I’m feeling a little lowly today.
Perhaps I am fighting a cold, or maybe it was several late nights, or that quick trip interstate, or perhaps my diet isn’t quite right or I’m still sad…
I wanted to let you know that I am very happy with my life.
Most importantly I wanted to thank you for everything you have done to get me to here.
Today I need some help holding my heavy, black, sad heart.
Dear Self
I don’t have time for you today.
Some days my opinions about things are incredibly unhelpful.
Sometimes life needs a firm hand.
Mostly I spend my time dialling down my ability to be very clear and very firm. I’ve realised that it is just far too blunt a tool for nearly every situation. Particularly…
The sun is streaming through the car window.
Spring is playing havoc with the air outside.
I’m warm and content.
There is nothing more to do.
Luke
I just agreed to do something because I wanted the person who asked me to think that I am important/valuable/interesting/relevant.
That’s not ideal.
