Reflections While Marching
Whether a chance meeting remains a coincidence or becomes destiny all depends on you.
Most of our distress begins when we imagine how different life should have been. Entrusting your hopes to something as flimsy as your possibilities is the root of all evil.
I’m not going to give my past self a big hug, and I’m not going to validate my past mistakes, but I’m not opposed to overlooking them.
If you are trapped in the dream of the Other, you're fucked.
Being clever sometimes makes it impossible to take action.
To come to acceptance with things and feelings is rare and to accept them completely is a miracle. It's impossible to make that moment come faster by yourself. Someday it comes unexpectedly. In order to not become warped or heartless, let it go in a natural way. Let yourself feel sad when you are, and let yourself forget when you do.
Times like these, you can't be shy. Crashing the celebrations of a stranger is a do-or-die challenge; a moment's hesitation can be fatal. You have to infiltrate the very heart of the event, practically force everyone to get excited, and destroy their completely justified doubts of Who is this person?
So it was that our game proceeded toward its end. It would never be repeated, and even if we used a time machine, we could never get it back.
Reflections I’ve done while marching in various Cataphract games.
