Back writing
Last night I came back to that place I used to go mainly till the first half of 2004. First time alone, first time really happy with myself for the past days, first time as well accompanied as ever in the last weeks: the old and good Du!!
Since that mark in my time-line I've been spending a lot of my spare time either with myself, either with good friends that really care about me, those same friends I just decided not to listen for the past 2 years and whose opinions I cautiously consider today. Not that I carry any kind of regret, not that I think I should have always listened to them, but today I'm just seeing myself with less omnipotence and arrogance, remembering I'll never stop being an apprentice.
First thing I told to my friends about all of this: if, in a given circumstance, your heart tells you to do the absolute opposite to what everybody tells you, ignore everybody; follow your heart.
I entered the place and that unavoidably reminded my of that dream of hers. No, she wasn't there, nor would she carry the forever-lost ring. Just my imagination. Everything there was different and I didn't feel like I wanted to do anything other than dancing alone and thinking quietly. I thought a lot. Mostly positive things. Enough of thinking negative stuff for me these days, this is something I myself must learn to control. I also danced a lot. I don't remember having danced this much before, alone, ignoring people who might be looking at me, ignoring even some female-hunting-looks.
Second thing I'd like to register here, something I've learned a couple years ago and it's being extremely valuable these days: don't disrespect yourself; it's much easier to have fun where you feel comfortable.
All those friends keep inviting me to the most diverse places, including places I know I don't like, parties I know I have a very low chance of having fun. In these cases I just say them "no, thanks" and it's ok for me to find something else to do.
Continuing my journey with this best friend of mine, me, I came back today to another place I hadn't been for a long time. I knew this was a "risky" move, I knew there was a slight possibility of meeting her there, but this didn't discourage me.
I have very few fears, all of them related to destiny and chance. I'll never be afraid of entering that place by the front door. Although it was still hard to prevent my mind from seeing her everywhere, it was a very tranquil journey with valuable positive results.
Trust your heart, buddy, respect yourself and learn to enjoy your own company. This was how I first met Love in my life. This is how I'll find it again.
The Sith Lord is losing powers to the eternal Jedi apprentice I am. I'm back riding on the healing road, my infinite highway. Good things have already started to happen; peace, love, happiness and all that tranquility I deserve have started to come sooner than it seemed it would; for I'm strong; for I'm wise; for I can.
