Going to See Patrick in Vegas

Flight booked. Cirque du Soleil O show booked. Going to see Patrick in Las Vegas!

I can’t believe I’m doing this. Haha.

I’m scared and excited. The day I booked it, I was so excited I can’t sleep. I ended up sleeping just a couple hours before TEDxStanleyPark.

Then today, I woke up with a bad dream that Patrick facebook messaged me about some issues about me staying longer. That’s when I realized how scared I am.

I’m staying 4 nights and 5 days. Thursday to Monday morning. Longer than I had planned. But it’s the only way….he wanted me to go on the weekend, and weekend flights are expensive/sold out.

So I’m scared because, it’s fairly long of a stay. I’m scared because, he is not the most reliable person. And, scared because of bad experience visiting Idriss in SF.

But I feel better about this than with Idriss. With Idriss, I had a nightmare too. And I felt weird about it before going.

With this trip visiting Patrick, I’m excited!

Here’s my thinking:

  1. If I’m fun to be around, me staying longer ain’t a problem. So I gotta remember to be fun, light-hearted, adventurous. A happy state of mind is happiness – says Tony Robins.
  2. If we give each other some breathing room, that helps too. I’ll work for a few hours each day from a coffee shop.
  3. Remember what it was like when we first met. I laughed so hard at things he said. I cared about him. I think those are important things.
  4. Just be good to him and not expect too much. Expectation is the cause of all sadness and fights.
  5. If he has to be out, has to leave me at home, I am ok with that. I can: get some work done, go to a pub by myself. If it was at night? Men…I should probably hop on Tinder? I hope I don’t have to do that. But it’s important to go out if he is out, and busy. Maybe I can meet people.
