My inspiration

My days as a hermit are finally over. Today I got my hair cut. It looks presentable again, and I'm really glad about that. I don't consider myself to be very vain, I just feel it's a matter of self respect to look good. As for me, looking fine equals feeling well.

Approximately two years ago, I felt my mind started maturing. I was growing up emotionally. This process would climax on 26th September, 2008. This was the day I first came out to my mother. She was the very first person to know. It was the very first time I ever said out loud I was attracted to the same sex.
Don't get me wrong, my inner growth has never stopped ever since. I don't think it'll ever stop, to be honest. I'm still collecting bits and pieces of interesting wisdom. As we grow older, and our cellular structure gets affected by the flow of time and the eerie resistance of life itself, our mind grows older as well, gathering more and more knowledge every day. Some people have much greater inner strength than others. The Dalai Lama is very likely to have accomplished more on an inner level than my grandma. It doesn't matter really, as long as you're happy with what you got, things are okay.
Much of my inspiration for inner peace I got from Davey Wavey (I initially followed his blog due to his hotness, only to discover that the actual content was as great as his body). But, most of my inspiration I got from Oprah. Much of her shows she devoted to 'The Secret'. It's no secret, really. Basically, it's all about the law of attraction: when you are happy, you'll attract happy people. Being happy thus results in more happiness. To a certain extent, I do believe that there's something like this 'law of attraction'. That's why I'm happy all the time (or at least I try to be). I like to see the best in things. When something bad happens, I like to believe that it happened for a reason; it occured because I needed to learn from it, so I wouldn't make the same mistake again in the near future.
I must admit, I was pretty fanatic about the whole 'attraction' thing. Although I believe this law of attraction led me to be friends with B., the ship has sailed. For several months, I started reading a new chapter in my book o' mind. Now, I listen to my body. I must take care of my body. It's the only vessel I have in this lifetime, so I ain't going to mess it up, you know. The actual goal of this new chapter sounds easy, but it can be very hard to achieve: I'm going to try to become completely comfortable with myself. Love myself for who I am. Being confident.
I've made some excellent progress over the last two years, but I'm not there yet. I'll send you guys a post card when I get there.

<4, L.
