I met a man this morning.  At first he didn’t seem approachable.  It appeared as if he had a lot on his mind.  We sat down on a bench to have a conversation.  He told me he had seen a lot of potential in me.  I thought that was a bizarre way to start a conversation. He told me he was very intuitive, and then the conversation took an unexpected turn. He said he carried a lot of pain.  That his past and future thoughts were always in his head.  He told me he regretted most of the choices he had made. He said he wished he had the courage that I did. That he wished he could face his fears the way I did. I then told the man he needed to learn to love himself. To let go of the past and future and focus on today. The biggest thing is to learn to forgive yourself. That no man is perfect. We all make mistakes. I then turned to look at the man. He wasn’t there. I couldn’t believe I had been talking to myself.
