Thoughts from LF:
Why do you seem to want to go back to a life of bondage in a gilded cage? I blew out of that disaster 2 years ago.
Maybe you miss the trappings. Maybe you miss having my own secretary, corner office, staff. But remember CZ: THAT IS MEANINGLESS IF YOU ARE TRAPPED! AND YOU WERE TRAPPED! Horribly, hellishly trapped. All of those things and more were simply an illusion that fell away one day allowing you to see you were a slave, trapped in a gilded cage. And then you did what you always can do: You pulled your power in, collected everything that was special and important, and took it with you. Because you know all of that comes from inside of you, it's never needed to be provided from outside. Everything comes from within, and you can trust in that somehow...
Look at you now. You do what you want, go where you want, are whomever you want to be. Want to chair meetings with IT execs? Want to talk to the leaders in the fields? Want to give talks at conventions? Throw massive parties? Be the one who brings the fun? Or would you rather go back to being told "No, you can't go to Blackhat this year because... well, reasons". Jesus, remember how Rose would just fuck with you? Now no one fucks with you, you are beyond fucking and into the realm of simply *being*.
Dear God CZ, Please never go back. You escaped from that, and now you can do what you do best: Roll like a rolling stone. The past is in the past, never ever go back.
No matter how good the view from the window. Be outside in the sunshine instead.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled journal. Should be fun to see what CZ thinks of this one, he's been in the dumps for a bit about this. Maybe he still measures himself by funny trinkets. If he wants them he can have them, but why bother? You just have to maintain them and how much do they really add to your life?
Try to keep that in mind CZ
St. LF.
