Everyone needs a spot. A place. It doesn't matter what it is; a corner, room, blog, guitar, potters wheel, motorcycle, horse, trail, your own fucking head, or God forbid your work. Everyone needs that one spot in their lives that is theirs alone and no one elses and you need to defend it without giving in. Fight for it with extreme prejudice. It doesn't matter if the love of your life wants in to that spot; no one can be let in. If you give in and let anyone in; you are lost.
In that spot is you. Your core that your soul emanates from. You are saying right now that you don't need that spot. Whatever. You go on believing that and you will see. You will need that place and it will be full of someone else's idea of who you are. They will look through your soul and pick you apart.
Don't let yourself give in. Even if you have done something wrong, or even unforgivable; keep that spot. Hell, I am sure the root of your wrong-doing; for those of us that normally wouldn't do whatever wrong it is; is the fact that you surrendered your ground somewhere. You gave up that one spot you can retreat to and recharge your soul. Don't let yourself be guilted into giving up your spot.
If you are unsure of who you are; you may find yourself in that place. The things you discover in that place may save your life. I gave up my place. I gave it up a long time ago, and have never recovered. I have been searching ever since.
