Count on Me

February 1, 2022. No. 145

When life seems sad, alone and you feel in an abyss, remember that you can count on me.

Not just counting to 2 or 3, to 10 or 100, I'm just telling you, you can always count on me.

When it dawns and you wonder if your existence has any meaning today if you can't find that path to follow, remember that you can count on me.

If life is indifferent to you, it doesn't smile at you like others, and you look at everyone around you getting good results, and you think yours aren't good, don't be discouraged and look to the future, remember that you can always count on me.

When the rain doesn't stop inside you, and the hurricanes in your head don't stop tormenting you and uncovering your whole soul, even so, don't stop on your mission. Remember that there is always a way to calm the storm, that calm always returns eventually, and that you can count on me.

If you glimpse in my smile, an incalculable affection towards you, do not distort it, simply accept it. It is my way of saying that I love you and respect you as a human being, as a person in every way. That I admire you and want to be like you and always remember that you can count on me.

Today it is very easy to say. It is a prayer that has always been taken lightly, but I do not like to do it. When I say it, I say it from within, from the depths of my guts. I am here, by your side, to give you hope, illusion, and all the tenderness that you deserve. I am by your side, to make you smile, to look again at the future and see your smile reflected in it. That when you look in the mirror, at that person you no longer identify, you see a new opportunity to want to go out and eat the world and you know that you can count on me.

I want your soul to seize the fragility of a rose and the strength of a sigh. I want to feel that your heart beats stronger every second and that your breathing is agitated, to the point that it is very easy to hear it thousands of millimeters away. That same distance, makes you believe that we are so far away. We are not far and we have never been closer. Remember when you feel a little lost, that you can count on me.

If you feel like intimidating a cactus because of its lack of beauty, I will accompany you, just to make you see that you are wrong. The cactus also has its beauty and its thorns are the reflection of its soul. But it is not a poisoned soul, like that of many in sheep's clothing. It is a soul that seeks peace and tranquility, among so much nonsense. Perhaps those same thorns are the only way to tell you that he loves you, but that it is more complicated than that. Or maybe he just want to show that, even if it has thorns, there is beauty in it. If you still feel those desires, remember that you can count on me.

We can relive the good times, those where we remember that life had meaning. Those moments where life was perfect, according to you. So you buy me juice and we talk, laugh, and analyze everything. From a practical way and without mixing reality with fiction. Let's leave reality for when there is no imagination. I prefer to live in an unreal world, where love, peace, and happiness merge and become one. I would like you to know that I care about you, that I will not leave you no matter how much you ask. That I am by your side and that you can always count on me.

I would only like to know one thing and if I had a wish, a single wish to ask for, it is to know if I could count on you. May I?

Thanks to everyone who, in one way or another, has made my stay at read.cash special. It has been simply AWESOME!
