‘Til Death Do Us ‘Part
Martial Arts. I’m not sure if I have mentioned this lately, but you mean absolutely everything to me.
As well as for many others, ever since I was a young child, you have always drawn me in. My love for you has only grown. Flourished honestly, and continues to do so.
I have prepared for much of life through your lessons. How to be relaxed, yet focused. To be confident, yet humble. When it is necessary to apply whichever trait needed. How to adapt, then flow. You supply a sensation no other activity or interest could replicate… at least for me.
When I am in motion, I feel whole. As if I am gliding. I tune and sync my entire being. To be a demonstration of the most sacred dance. A participant in the most serious play.
You are where I belong, where I feel at home. Regardless of any other interest I have or skill I have developed, you are my core. You resonate in my being. As a child, teenager, young man, and perhaps now more than ever, when I envision myself, I see you. You are who I am and always wanted to be. Thank you for always helping me find myself. For teaching me how to strengthen and defend my mind, body, and soul.
SO…. From the DEEPEST, PUREST, MOST GRACIOUS PART OF MY SOUL! Thank You So Much! Thank you for always being here.
With only Love, Respect, & Gratitude
From your Eternal Disciple,
Daniel Gualajara

Daniel, having something you are passionate about that also helps keep you fit and healthy is awesome! While I have sadly never tried martial arts, I can see the appeal for those who participate. It seems like it works out the mind just as much as the body. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Nothing But A Leech
Hey… You have to go. You can’t be here anymore. I never welcomed nor invited you, but somehow you always sneak in while piggybacking insecurities (you can tell him to stay home as well). You’ve failed to add anything besides the feeling of inadequacy. You’re nothing but a leech to my soul. A slow, silent, soft, yet sharp suicide. I recall a substantial amount of sleepless nights you have caused by heaving my heartbeat. Each pulse was as deafening as the last. No more. I’ll allow this NO MORE! I can’t and I won’t! My future career, relationships, and self-esteem depends on it! Everything important to me depends on it! You have benefitted nobody! I have risen to occasions plenty of times and you make me forget what I have already accomplished. Somehow, you seep in and fog my memory with self-doubt. This relationship is over. It’s DONE! Leave me and my family alone! I have found power in scriptures, power in positive thinking, and power in preparation! There is no leeway for you to elbow your way in anymore! I am fed up with you! You are intolerable! I will no longer allow you in my proximity! You know what? You don’t even have to go anywhere. I’M LEAVING. You can stay right where you are you soon to be “stranger”. I’m out of here. It was horrible knowing you.
Peace.

Daniel, I love the way you wrote this piece with as much attitude as fear tries to give us each time it rears its ugly head. You are so strong for standing up to fear and daring it to try you again. I am inspired by your determination and refusal to bend to what it wants. Thank you for sharing your experience!
