Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 23 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast
It is the middle of the week, the middle of the month and the middle of the year, and I feel I am at a turning point in my life.
Obviously, I know what has passed, where I am, but more importantly, where and what I want in the future, and for sure, more importantly again, what I do not want:
- I want financial freedom to do and go wherever I want without worrying about money.
- I obviously want my daughters to be happy, but that also depends more on them than on me. If they need my help, I will be there for them.
- I want peace, preferably living alone, so I can go to bed and get up when I want, not because of anyone else. If I am living with a woman, only if it is mutually beneficial for both of us, not just for the other, because that would be abusive.
- I want to continue working but not be a slave to it.
- I want to invest more and more in myself, in my own time and at my own pace, without having to explain to others, especially those closest to me.
- I want to have a tiny house in the middle of a woodland with no neighbours, but with a few dogs.
- I would like to have a partner, a woman, who, besides good sex that pleases both of us, is also a spiritual journey between us of understanding and complicity.
- I want to be happy and to have happy, positive people around me who value each other’s friendship and who share a sense of complicity between us all.
- I do not want to be with a toxic and abusive person who does not know how to deal with her own traumas, who consequently spills and spits her internal problems onto the people around me and me.
- I do not want to be a slave to my work, where it affects my inner peace and leaves me without time or the ability to contemplate, think, or be creative.
- I do not want to be unhappy, frustrated, or overthinking the past. I do not want to ruminate on what could and couldn’t have been or happened. I want to be free of the chains of the past to live my short future in peace.
- I do not want to worry about money.
- I do not want to live for someone else’s life; only for my own, if it is mutually proactive and positive for both.
I think that is about it!!!
The rest of the day was productive as usual, with a good exercise session early in the morning, classes, blog prep and post, and Alex working on the monetisation of the blog.
In bed by 10p.m.
Thank you.
