18 Oct A note from the old heart

“Hello, my old heart
How have you been?
How is it, being locked away?
Well don’t you worry
In there, you’re safe
And it’s true, you’ll never beat
But you’ll never break ”
The Oh Hellos

To the new heart,

There you are. Did I wake you up? If so, sorry, go back to sleep. You are like a baby, you sleep and wake up at the most unlikely times. If not, stop and read that note.
If I could give you some advice, I would say: let go. At least, as many things as possible.
Let go of winning always. Let go of painful memories, of always being right, of fighting back. Let go of temporary results. As the poet Fernando Pessoa said:

He wants little: you will have everything.
He wants nothing: you will be free.
The same love they have
For us, he wants us, oppresses us.

But never let go of self-love and giving your best, always.
What love still doesn’t know is that you’ll be brand new, smelling like a baby cologne, while I’m here, full of old beliefs, loves smelling like closet dust, kept in the memory of my owner. It’s enough of me, I’m more than lived. All the traumas, shocks and injuries are here kept.
You who are reborn in the new year, enjoy this 2017, every year you will be changed and will not be revisited many times, only on special occasions. Sorry, but it’s the truth, hearts need to regenerate too.
But enjoy that this owner is more positive every day. Enjoy, New heart.
And that you can beat each day faster.
Happy 2017!

Old heart
