I’m actually using the burning bridge technique as we speak- but for a longer-term goal.
Very well written, and very insightful.

Hi, Mike. I was contemplating for the past good half an hour or so on whether or not I should leave a post here, but my brain just gave in and I decided to let the nature take its course. I’ve come across your blog randomly on Google search (I typed in “kindness I have received” for a particular reason, which wouldn’t be mentioned here to keep this message short), and was greatly moved by your words — about spontaneity, friendship, kindness, journey, hardship, etc. There are a lot of stuff mentioned here that I myself experience and think of daily. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m simply excited and amazed to be finding something that I can connect to, especially on the internet which I have so little faith in. I hope me leaving a message won’t alarm you. My intention is “good”, but I have no idea what kind of impact this will have. I leave you with just thanks, because I’m grateful that I got to know your thoughts so well-described in words.

Hi Mike: Hoping this finds you well and still on your journey; just wondering if you managed to bike past Nakusp, B.C. (the last journal entry I could find); remember you spent the night with us just before the going through the Monashee Mts. it was dark when you pulled in/slept the night behind our shop (with our Akeita dog) had a shower and breakfas the next morning and packed up planning on heading to Calgary; your last posting was that you planned on staying in Nakusp for some period of time. Just wanting to know if you made it to your destination safely.

Comment on A deep apology, letting go of ego and rightness by Joanna

Mike, how lovely of you to share this its great that everything turned out okay int he end.

here’s a REALLY long one…

I have a friend of mine I really need to apologise to properly. Its a guy I care for very much. We have been friends for almost e year and things have always been complicated. How can I put it, well, we kind of dated… Kind of feels ridiculous to say but that’s the way it was. We both cared for each other but things always seem to get in out way. Through out our friendship we fought alot but we always kissed and made up… He broke my heart a couple of times, probably without realising how much it hurt me. He told me he only wanted to be friends and I went along with it, when I did, this upset him. We didn’t talk for over a month and just as I meet a new guy and he found out about it he deleted me of facebook and his friends told me he was really upset about it. I ended it with the new guy because I couldn’t see things working out for us and me and my “friend” started talking again, we flirted like crazy and decided to meet up again. we did and we kissed and it was amazing. then a week later I told him I needed to know if we were anything more than friends and he texted me saying ” I’ve been thinking about us and realised I only want to be friends.” Again he broke my heart but I went along with it again, because he really was a good friend. That same night I went to a party, meet a few guys I danced with and kissed, but only kissed. His friend was there and called him, immature I know! to tell him about it. My friend who is also a friend of his was talking to him and he said to her “Well if she likes me so much then why does she go around kissing other guys?!!?” He never said this to me though, to me he said “Jo, maybe you shouldn’t go around kissing guys, you should think of your rumor…” But we staid friends through this and last week we had a big fight and I ended up lying while we were texting, I told him that I had never been into him, he didn’t mean anything and that I was just playing around… I could see from his texts that I had upset him, but he had broken my heart so many times by now that it didn’t stop me, I just kept going loving the feeling of for once having the advantage. As we were fighting he brought up old stuff like “What happened at that party?! was it cuz you were drunk? that’s no excuse!”…And I didn’t get it because he never wanted to be more than friends..But now I really feel like I need to apologise for lying about my feeling for him even though I have never lied to him before, but he really believed my lies and that hurts… But still I’m not 100% sure I should apologize. I love him, I really really do…

well yeah, that’s my story…should go apologize now hehe..

This past year has been nothing but raging rapids, but I totally decided to put on a life vest and jump in the raft. While sometimes the ride is not so fun, it’s definitely shown me that I am where I am supposed to be in my life.

Thanks for pointing out that I should read this post!

Thank you so much. I have been thinking about not continuing this blog but comments like that are very encouraging.

Beautiful post, Mike.
I need to read it, you know? I’ve been holding myself against change, although in my heart, I know I must let go… I must go on.
Wish I could travel like you, someday! Wish you the best and lots of fun!
