Live and Let Die.

Learning is pretty cool. It's kinda nice to know that i'm progressing. I've done the regret thing. I've done the open feelings thing. Now i'm back to the keep my mouth shut thing. The question that I've been forgetting to ask myself in the couple years past, the question I used to ask myself before doing anything is now again my guide: what am i trying to accomplish? i can trust myself to be honest with myself. at least i have that. i know when i'm thinking selfish. but as for my actions, what am i trying to accomplish? I'm not falling for the usual tricks anymore. I can rely on my experience to steer me through. having a ninja is often an unfair advantage, i'll have to admit. the newest lesson: let it die. sometimes the right thing to do is let it die. if there's nothing for anyone to gain, then there's no reason to open my mouth at this point. maybe i'm too hard on myself sometimes. maybe we can't control our feelings. but we sure as hell can control our actions. so be wabi-sabi: let it be. not just a fantastic beatles song. it's true. let it be. it is what it is. enjoy what it is, for what it is. and let it die. maybe i can't avoid some of the same mistakes, but that doesn't mean i haven't learned to finish them better.

No picture. I just don't feel like it. but i have Elton John's Rocketman on repeat. Some Tahiti 80, too.
