I’m attempting to “SUBTRACT” the petty and trivial things. The worn out chatter playing in my head like a broken record. The old petty arguments that replay again and again. The trivial nonsense that I remember from 1983 that has no value in my life today.
I’m trying to subtract the need to worry about people who haven’t called or written me in 10 or 15 years. I’m trying to subtract The insecurities that deter me for my own creativity and joy of being.
I’m trying to subtract the habits which harm my health and sense of well-being. I’m trying to subtract regrets about choices that I didn’t make but have brought me to exactly where I am right now.
I’m trying to subtract the mistaken ideas that I’ve had about myself and others. I’m trying to subtract my cognitive and unrealized biases that I may have against myself and others.
I’m trying to subtract the anger and bitterness that I feel towards the petty and trivial comments from people who still haunt the halls of my memories and subconscious.
What is left is just me.
