Letter to a younger me

Dearest Delusion

I know that you are prone to be humble. I know that you are open to advice and suggestion and so I beseech you to pay careful attention:
The change that occurs along with enlightenment may be more pressing than what you have heard. Please, oh deluded one, please don’t judge what you have not encountered, for appearance as you may well already know can easily throw you off course. You might think you have witnessed it all and yet I know that everything you’ve been exposed to was embraced within the comfort of what steadfast alliances allowed for easy living. This lifestyle is different simply because the people you will meet are not what you are accustomed to surrounding yourself with. The choice to embrace what you don’t immediately understand with the mindset of an inexperienced voyager might be the best choice for you to make. Don’t hesitate when new, seemingly foolish, opportunities arise. The chances to act the fool are not ever going to be as fulfilling as when you’re not the only fool enjoying yourself. Be cautious of expectations, they are never what you pictured and even if they turn out to be better than what you pictured, the present is never reliable- get things said, done and printed yesterday already.
Above all, don’t be afraid to acknowledge the change you will begin to recognise within yourself. Those who haven’t known you your whole life will not know how much you actually have changed as a person and you should take full advantage of exploring ‘a new life’. Eventually you will see how that judgement that you will not adhere to is somehow ingrained in the heart of this place.

Best of luck,

Post-deluded.
