With the vastness of the internet, at times I feel as though I am talking to myself....
As of late: I couldn't keep up the mantra for more than 20 days. The idea of spending all that mental energy on myself and for a selfish thing like a man was just too ego-centric when there are millions who need that energy more than I do. Besides, all I've gotten is heartbreak anyway. Why pray for more? So I think I'll change it, focusing on developing boddhichitta instead of selfishness.
