The bearable heaviness of obstinateness

I know that you won’t listen to me, but I will, however, give you some advice. I am your future self, as unrealistic as that could sound, and I was given the chance to talk to you, completely unaware how that was made possible, but still using the miraculous opportunity, without however feeding the illusion that I could change you or coax you to do something against your will or code of life. So I will try to go easy on you, I do not want to stir your reluctance, you hate to be given advice in the same way that I still do and we cannot do anything about it, we are temperamental, wilful, boisterous at times, people do not really like us, even if they may admire us, so you have to learn how to live mostly alone and cope with what you represent and the reality, which cannot be changed.

What else should I suggest? Nothing and simultaneously a bunch of things, which you will ignore and I cannot blame you. But what I have learned for sure is that you can lead a much more serene existence if you let your tumultuous emotions free. At first, it might feel difficult, unreasonable, because you have to let your shields down, and it is in a certain way, but, as you commit yourself to it through discipline and self-observation, you will acquire inner peace and will be tremendously receptive to the beauties around. And women will find you less abrasive and will appreciate your charm.

Goodbye. And do not take yourself too seriously! Believe me, or otherwise, you’ll have to understand it the hard way, which is a painstaking one. So would you like to pay attention to me? Just once? No? Ok, nevermind.
