To be back on the West Coast. It’s been so long and I miss it.I miss the beaches, the mountains, the weather. I’m looking forward to this road trip with this stupid little teardrop trailer in tow. It will be pure freedom. Freedom to live, to visit places I haven’t been in decades, to meet new people, to scope out places I want to live and go to school, to find somewhere to settle down while I build a life.
I was hoping that while on my travels, I’d cross paths with you, but I don’t know where you live now. I don’t know if you’re in a relationship, I don’t know if you have a family. There’s a lot I don’t know about you because we haven’t spoken in a lifetime. I suspect you will keep it that way since you feel I’ve lost my mind. I haven’t, I’m just sad and realizing that I gave you up too easily. I would make it right if you’d let me but now you’ve blocked my email and I’m just going to let it be. You obviously want to keep me out of your life, so that is how I’ll keep it. I’ll respect the hard boundaries you’ve drawn. I’m ok with that. You know how to reach me if you ever feel the need to.
Yes I still love you but I’m going to actively seek out new people for friends or more. I’m not going to dwell anymore on our past, or our non-existent future. I realize that time has come and gone.
I’ll take my philosophy book with me on the road, to ponder life - to let the old-world wisdom influence my thinking and give me big ideas to mull over while I’m in the wilderness of the Cascades seeking solitude from this techno-life. My goal is to change from the inside out. I want and need to change how I perceive my reality. My physical goals are to hike parts of the PCT left unaccomplished - I have much to cover. I’m only 120mi/2650mi. I aim to find myself again and to get out of this delusion that you still love me.
Take care of yourself - be the joyous soul you are. I love you - that will not change.
Damn, sorry man. That sucks.
Dont be Disappointed
