Been doing lots of thinking, and here's what I came up with.

I don't think self-destruction is intrinsically wrong or bad, but it for it to be "good" it has to have some metamorphic result.

Your post is for sure words that I might echo though. I too know these ways of jade, and when I turn back around on the path I find I am now against the grain of all my slick knives. But whatever the case it is to me quite clear that we're capable of manifesting things as we see fit, given the right intentions, but sometimes you have enter a boss-fight with your old self to do so. Fortunately the hero does prevail in the end.

I don't feel jaded at all. Make no mistake, this post is nothing but positive. I am ultimately glad for all the things that have happened to me because they have led me to the understanding that I am capable of changing myself for the better. Not only that, but looking back has given me the perspective to understand what I need to do to accomplish this. Creating my life as I see fit is simple once I know these things. It has already begun.

As for self-destruction, I have done enough of it for too long, though I certainly do understand it's place here. The time has come for me to build myself back. The 'metamorphic result' is now forthcoming. I am excited for my future because it is nothing but bright.

I look forward to speaking to you of these things in person. We didn't get a proper chance to talk last time I saw you in Chicago. The world is ours, lets just reach out and take it.

The comment about being jaded was more in reference to the old ways, not the present attitude.

I should be around this weekend, so let's definitely hang out.

Sometimes the only thing you can change is your outlook. I live my life in the realm of the positive and to find myself at the opposite end of the spectrum is very disorienting to me. It is important for me to celebrate the good things I have and have had rather than focus on all the negative aspects of my life. We all live this incredible charmed life and whatever joy can be found, well I say we fucking take it.

You have been instrumental in me coming to understand these things. Thank you for your constant friendship through it all.
