Yesterday was pretty epic!
Um... I'd even say it was a "game changer" so to speak.
I met up with an old friend I haven't seen in a long time. I'm not even sure how long. Over 10 years I think.
Without writing a whole book, we had a bit of a falling out a while back and he did try to meet up with me a few times before I got sick with botulism, but I was just still really insecure and in a bad place mentally in life at the time and we never ended up meeting up.
Let's just say we have a very interesting relationship and history and we had a really full day hanging out and it was great.
So many old memories came back... And, exciting new possibilities have materialized.
There were times it felt so psychic, like me or him would start saying something and the other would know what it was before the words had even been spoken... The energy was crazy.
My friend brought his girlfriend and 7 year old daughter, both seem like great people the vibe was really nice and we went back to his place and he had like 5 work trucks with his name on them and I mentioned that it seems like he is doing good and he told me that was only half of them, so I guess he has like around 10 trucks and a buncha peoples working for him and is doing very well with his business.
He showed me "Eden", which is a cool nature spot on his property that he is working on with a beautiful tree and a grassy area and a buncha like wind chimes and other cool things, then I got to meet one of his dog friends and he/she barked at me at first, but then warmed up to me really quick and my friend told me that was very rare and that he thought his dog friend could sense that I was a "pure spirit".
I denied being a pure spirit, though it was nice to know that the puppy seemed to accept me so quickly. :)
After that I got to see his parents for the first time in a long time and we're all getting so much older... His father is 96! And is still super healthy looking and happy looking and it's so inspiring!
I asked about his diet and my friend told me he's been pretty much vegan for a long time and I think that prob has something to do with it, I think he also said his dad was working till like 93? Before he retired? Or something like that, so amazing in my opinion.
Next we set out on an adventure in what I think he called a Razor?
I just looked it up and I think they are called RZRs? It's like a lil off road buggy type vehicle and he put some music on and we were cruising (sometimes quite fast) way out in the wilderness on some really beautiful and remote trails. (Definitely gonna get some drone footage of that in the future!)
He also told me he has 3 dirt bikes I think, and I told him how helpful those kinds of vehicles would be for some of the adventure stuff me and my dad have been doing and told him some more details about some of that and he seemed interested in joining me on some adventures!!
Not only that... He even said he would buy one of those newer metal detectors that has... Um. I forget the word they use... Though they have like a kind of "sensitivity", I think it's called "discrimination" that gives you a better idea whether something is gold, or iron or some other kind of metal or hot rock and...
I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, maybe we won't find anything... Yet, I've been studying the geology maps around this area for a few years and I know where a lot of gold mines are and areas that very potentially have gold, so I feel hopeful and optimistic that we will be able to not only pay for the metal detector, but hopefully much more.
And, if that doesn't work out... Who knows, maybe he could give me a job working in his landscaping company in the future and help me get my life more in order, I haven't talked to him about that... But... I kinda feel like that may be a possibility? I'd much rather work for a friend than someone I don't know at this point in my life.
I feel like this is a major turning point for me, because... My friend was like my "rival" kinda, it's hard to explain... Though, back when me and him hung out I was not really badly OCD like I am now... My friend may have been difficult to be around in some ways, but he helped me get out of my comfort zone and helped me be stronger and I'm ready to heal as much as I can from my OCD so I have a feeling he is going to help me heal a lot!!
He wants to go "training" like we used to, like martial arts and physical fitness kinda stuff and we're gonna do a game night and play some of the old video games we used to play like Tekken! Plus we talked about doing other cool or fun things!
I also feel like he will take me to the bars or where ever and help me meet women too. So, I'm not longer freaking out so much about that as much... My other friend also said he would take me to the bars to help me meet women, between the two of them and how much I might improve my OCD and how much we might make treasure hunting or elsewhere... I dunno, it really is giving me a lot of hope and making me feel like I may end up getting my life together after all and maybe sooner than I thought.
After we rode around for a while we went to a sweet spot by the creek up town hidden behind a resort I've never been to which is super beautiful with like a big red rock boulder island in the middle of the creek, and it has a nice deep spot to swim too!
Then we went to the Kava Bar! And, it was a lovely experience.
I felt amazing from the drinks and CBD joints and we were all playing board games and doing tarot card type stuff picking cards that were awesome and symbolic and perhaps synchronistic.
Two cards I got were the Otter and A Golden Egg I believe? Something golden.
The otter is one of my fav animals and the book said it represents "pure joy" and the "happiness of a child" or something like that, so perfect for me! :D
My friends 7 year old daughter is so smart I'm amazed. I barely even have any memories from that age and she is just like... So well spoken and intelligent. Hanging out with them and watching them laugh and play together warmed my heart so much in a similar way that I talked about recently with my other friend who was laughing with her kid. It's so awesome to see families happy and laughing and playing together... I hope I get to experience having my own family like that some day.
There was also cute little dogs running around and live music and a big dance party in the parking lot!
And, then we went to one of my favorite restaurants and had one of the best meals of my life, they all said they loved their meals too.
Then, finally we went and got some ice cream! I had some vegan rocky road and it was yummy. :D
What a day... We did so much cool stuff, and.. My friend paid for it all. I offered to try to pay for some of it and he said no.
I feel like I've been reconnecting with a number of friends from my past and I have another old friend who wants to move back here in like 5 years and it feels like I dunno, it's hard to explain... It feels like something spiritual almost.
Like.. People are coming back into my life now that I'm learning how to better love, forgive, accept and be more grateful and happy and things are becoming more and more exciting.
I felt a bit scared and I still do with my parents getting older and I have issues and I dunno what I'll do if or when something happens to them and to know now that I have a few more friends in the area who care about me really makes me feel a lot safer and less worried about the future.
And... My father has been a major part of the adventures, however due to his muscular dystrophy and age he can't really go out with me to most of these places and usually just drops me off or stays close to the roads and now I have a few friends who can actually hike out into remote wilderness areas with me and that is also a huge relief!!!
It can be dangerous doing some of this stuff, especially if you are alone!
To know I have a few people who are willing to go out with me on these adventures is... Priceless. I'm so friggin happy right now and more optimistic about the future than I have been in a while!
And... I'm going to start getting ready right now to go out on another adventure with my friend and his daughter today... Should be another awesome and fun day!! :D Peace my friends and much love. <3
“I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It’s all a question of how I view my life.”
I just wanna love.
No matter what anyone does.
Trying to find my place...
In this strange place.
Once again able to look at my own face without looking away.
In these reflections of life displayed.
Now seeing everything in a new way.
For these realizations no amount of money would I trade.
In order to find myself more I gave.
I gave until I felt saved.
Surrendered until I felt the hate fade.
Let go until I floated into a heavenly state.
No need to rush, no need to wait... Just here now, in the present fate.
At peace in the maze within an endless substrate.
Watching the movie, playing the game.
Not giving up anymore, it's time to create.
Abundant possibilities, divinity to emulate.
