All of this...

I counted my years and found that I have less time to live from here on than I have lived up to now.
I feel like that child who won a packet of sweets: he ate the first with pleasure, but when he realized that there were few left, he began to enjoy them intensely.
I no longer have time for endless meetings where statutes, rules, procedures and internal regulations are discussed, knowing that nothing will be achieved.
I no longer have time to support the absurd people who, despite their chronological age, haven't grown up.
My time is too short:
I want the essence,
my soul is in a hurry.
I don't have many sweets
in the package anymore.
I want to live next to human people,
very human,
who know how to laugh at their mistakes,
and who are not inflated by their triumphs,
and who take on their responsibilities.
Thus human dignity is defended and we move towards truth and honesty.
It is the essential that makes life worth living.
I want to surround myself with people who know how to touch hearts, people who have been taught by the hard blows of life to grow with gentle touches of the soul.
Yes, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry to live with the intensity that only maturity can give.
I don't intend to waste any of the leftover sweets.
I am sure they will be delicious, much more than what I have eaten so far.
My goal is to reach the end satisfied
and at peace with my loved ones
and my conscience.
We have two lives.
And the second begins when you realize you only have one.

I can always tell when I am carrying the weight of emotions on my body.
This queue is a sign I have not done a good job of regulating, dealing and removing that energy.
I am not perfect but now I hear the voice of my body, even though the timing is still a bit off.

Dear Self,

I want to start off by saying that I am truly sorry. I am sorry for being so hard on you. I am sorry for constantly being negative and focusing on your flaws and mistakes instead of your strengths and accomplishments. I am sorry for not being grateful for all that you do and all that you are. I am sorry for being so ignorant of your needs and putting them aside in order to try and please others.

I know that you have been trying your best and giving your all in everything you do. But I also know that sometimes your best may not be perfect, and that's okay. I shouldn't have expected perfection from you and set such high and unrealistic expectations. I realize now that this only adds unnecessary pressure and stress to your life.

I apologize for not being your own cheerleader and for not celebrating the small wins and victories. I should have been more supportive and encouraging, especially during the tough times. I want you to know that I am proud of you and all that you have accomplished, no matter how big or small.

I'm sorry for not taking care of you like I should have. You deserve to be loved and cared for, just like anyone else. Please know that your needs are valid and important, and it's okay to prioritize them. You cannot pour from an empty cup, so take the time to rest and take care of yourself.

I also want to apologize for trying to do it all and taking on too much. I know that you have a kind heart and want to help others, but sometimes it's okay to say no and prioritize your own well-being. It's not selfish, it's necessary for your own health and happiness.

From now on, I promise to be kinder to you. I promise to focus on your strengths and be thankful for all that you are. I will be your biggest supporter and give you the love and care that you deserve. I will also learn to set more realistic expectations and be grateful for every step of the journey.

Please forgive me for being so hard on you. You are amazing and deserve all the love and kindness in the world. I am here for you, always.

With love and sincerity,

Yourself.

“Wherever you are, be it at the beginning of the journey, well on your way, or resting comfortably at some height, you must acknowledge where you are. That is the key to further growth. You should keep some perspective about the entire journey, so that you will not sink into complacency – feeling you have finished the journey when you have not even begun to approach liberation.”

– Ram Dass
