Words that we couldn't say...

[galacticgeisha]

I have spent quite some time since my last post musing over feelings, both old and new, and I have come to some conclusions. It is far better to live in the now, doing what I can to make this life as much mine as whatever my old life was, than to dwell over those words we couldn't - and didn't - say

It may be a method of communication but it is still, in essence, a journal. You should not feel the need to apologize for expressing such things in writing. Those who are not interested can simply not read it.

I am available this evening and tomorrow, if you still wished to talk.

[galacticgeisha]

That is true, although it is still somewhat awkward for me to pour my heart out into this journal knowing everyone can read it. I can't remember ever being so open with everything.

I would still like to talk, when is best for you?

[unwinding_key]

Perhaps one made of a different material would be of more use? I have several if you would like one.

Anytime this evening or tomorrow is fine with me.

[galacticgeisha]

I would appreciate that, thank you.

How about tomorrow then?

[esp_optimism]

I'll meditate with you. :D

If... you don't mind...?

[galacticgeisha]

So long as you are willing to try I welcome anyone who would like to join me.

It's an excellent way to rid oneself of negativity.

[esp_optimism]

Not at all! :D

Exactly! :) Where are we meeting? The hot springs again?

[galacticgeisha]

Excellent.

We can meet there, or the park if you like.

Respect's good.

[galacticgeisha]

In many cases it's all we have.

I'm starting to agree. We should make the most of our lives here, especially because it's so impermanent.

[galacticgeisha]

Yes, a wise man explained that to me before and I'm taking it to heart.

He sounds like he was a good man.

But you shouldn't be so quick to disregard your past; it is what we are all, ultimately, trying to return to. Who we are now are nothing but placeholders until our true selves can be recovered and we can return to wherever we came from.

He was very loyal to those he considered 'his' from what I remember.

I don't think I could ever disregard it, but I need to learn not to let what I remember rule over my decisions here. Just because I was reticent to reveal feelings to someone in my past does not mean I should repeat that error.

That is a viewpoint I must say I agree with.

Your decisions should be based on maintaining your survival and recovering your memories, nothing more. Anything else is secondary and, possibly, a hindrance. Becoming attached to those who do not share the same world as yourself will only lead to disappointment when you are inevitably separated.
