Lenny I loved this, couldn’t read and listen at the same time because it was hard for my brain to focus on the content but I paused, read and then played - I love the song
1.) if I had 6 months to live I think I’d also do everything I’m doing now, plus a trip to Italy (need to see Sistine chapel before I die) with someone I love....that someone, well I’d tell them I love them .....I’d take my dog for like miles and miles of walks every day because I’d miss her so much
I think this question made me grateful for the PEOPLE, not the things! Crazy
2.) we always want to say we’re gonna live like we’ll die tomorrow, and I wish I could say that but I don’t...why? Anxiety, fear....all the “why nots” you could imagine
I'm glad you're already doing what you want. A trip to Italy would be great. Thankfully you don't have a terminal illness and it's something you can look forward to.
I have been beginning to really reflect on this because someone I spent lots of time with since February is living his last days on hospice right now. I've literally watched him slide into home base. I used to be TYPE A. I threw it overboard off a fishing boat in Mykonos when I was 20 years old. Interestingly, it's not something that can be symbolically released. It's a day-by-day decision because we are raised to perform, perform, perform, achieve, achieve, achieve=in order to be worthy of love. What a farce. Love is there without all the performance or achievement. I've not written a substack since August... even though I write here by myself all alone and in thought or emotion. I'm really examining this issue. I love this blog and I'm going to post it on FB. It's that good and important!!!
"perform, perform, perform, achieve, achieve, achieve=in order to be worthy of love." is a trap I was stuck in too and have only started practicing the alternative after discovering Louise Hay and self love: https://youtu.be/Pfs_VORznI4
