Your Twenty-Two
Posted: 2008/10/28 Filed under: Letters, Life | Tags: demons, friendship, letting go 2 CommentsHello my friend. I would like to bombard you with the number twenty-two. That is my wish for you. I would make you embrace it as your own. Twenty plus two. Think of it this way: Twenty-two is your magic number. It holds the key to letting go. It’s the permission to move on (not that no one needs to give you premission…except yourself). I am tempted to call you on every twentieth day and say (with authority, of course), “let one slide, let one slide…” I could send you a bottle of cheap azz tequila, make you have a shot – one for each hand – then, one for me, too. After that, maybe then you could let one slide.
One down, five to go.
Think of them as demons:
I loved being 22. It was the best I ever was.
“…the best I ever was.” Hmmm…my response to that is Maybe, just maybe, the best is YET to be.
