Purism that’s what it means to me. Now I’m not talking traditional freedoms that one expects as being a resident of this planet as I know there are many places on earth where that is not feasible because someone is telling you that you can’t have that freedom.
Purism allows you to do it your way. I like painting but many would say I do it wrong, I say it’s how I want to do it, my own way not influenced by others totally pure. My electronics, I’m told I go about it the wrong way but I achieve the same results and learn stuff along the way, my way and that’s pure. Freedom of expression, I have no dress sense at all but that’s me and I like the way I dress, I don’t dress to impress others. That’s me and that’s pure. This is freedom to me.
Want to find true freedom? Do what you want and don’t worry about what others want you to do. Never envy, just admire. Be pure at heart and be a good human. Don’t let others dictate your path in life. Find your own way.
Hey you, we’ve come this far and it wasn’t all that bad was it? Had a bit of a dodgy start and you were heading in the wrong direction but you pulled it all back in, not half bad mate. Met a wonderful woman after thinking it was never going to happen and look how it turned out, if you’d taken the other route who knows if you’d made this day.
I wish I’d had more friends but I believed I had enough, now I’m here alone, everyone is a stranger everyone has left me now. It’s punishment I tell you, society has lost its glue now, things are so different and I’m constantly confused.
I think we’d have made great parents if fortune hadn’t dealt us such a bad deck of cards, I still think of how we’d have brought our kids up, you the soft loving touch and me the stern father. But we had tons of love to give, it didn’t go to waste as we loved each other and all those around us.
I’ve never envied anyone and that’s the same today, admire those people for what they have and for what they have achieved and and be happy for them, don’t ask why not me? You know I always used to say that.
There is a lot of hatred around, you know how much I detest that word however there is no escaping it, it frightens me and I still struggle to understand it all even at this age.
I’m waiting now until I can join you all and we can all start again, am I wrong to say I’m excited about that?
I’m surprised I made it here, I never thought I’d be that one but then again why not.
Memories are still strong and looking back I often ask myself if I’m happy, I think I’m content and just biding my time. Would I have done anything differently? Hell yeah but I’ve learned from my mistakes. I did what I could with the tools I had.
Regrets are few, expectations now are low. My time is nearing the end and I think I’ve made my peace with the earth. This cage that is my body will one day break open and let myself be free again from the ties of this existence. I hope I will then meet with my family and friends and that we can do it all over again.
