He simply invited her for coffee, just like that. He noticed her on the street, barely seeing her. It was very cold, so she was wearing a large black modern coat, a scarf, and a hat, and on top of that, a double hat with a scarf. But he noticed something about her that caught his attention and began to follow her with his eyes. He even turned around, not knowing what it was. He simply approached her and asked her to have coffee with him. She replied that she was not a fan of coffee, especially in the evening, but that tea was fine. They entered a nearby cafe. His energy and his personality seemed very bright to her. clear and pure, so there were no dislikes or excuses. She also went out for a walk with no obligations, maybe some small additional shopping, but nothing else. She didn't need to walk much that day. It was cold and unpleasant, so tea with a stranger who seemed to be a friend was perfectly okay. When ordering tea, she couldn't wait to talk to him. He interested her in a way she had never had the opportunity to discover in someone she met on the street before. Just like that, in three seconds, she felt as if she were on her own stage, as if someone had put her on a certain page of a book written for someone else, but this time it was her moment and her moment with a complete stranger. unknown person. The line at the bar was very long. He kept looking at her, showing that there were still a lot of people left, and she had to wait. Later, he turned to the bartender, trying to speed up the order, but it didn't work. So he had to wait patiently.

She hung up her coat and saw that he was still wearing his, so she thought she might approach him to take it and hang it up too. Of course, he was grateful to her and said, “I'm sorry, we have to wait, it's very crowded here at this time of day.” She replied, “That's okay, we have some time, right?” It seemed that the moment they met, she had moved into another dimension. It was not the same space, the same time, the same reality. It was a different layer where time and space no longer existed, and life and the world became a completely different kind of arrival. It was a newly created space where it seemed that no one could disturb them, but it only lasted a few minutes.

Suddenly, there were only five people left in front of him, and when there were three, he answered his phone. His face changed, he became a little paler, more serious, a little colder and worried. It looked as if he had forgotten something important and had just remembered it.

She continued to watch him, uncertain about this sudden encounter and the new adventure that was about to unfold. She saw him leave the line, and regret was written all over his face. She heard something she didn't want to hear: "I'm sorry, I forgot something really important and I have to leave immediately. Can we reschedule for another time? For another moment?"

Somehow, she thought that this was what life was really like, everything was so harsh, and because her mind felt a little disappointed, her mood quickly changed.

She doesn't know why, but suddenly she no longer feels the need to meet him or get to know him better, or someone who invites someone and forgets something important, which causes too much chaos in both places for more people at the same time. Her mind was in a very conscious state, and from there she touched true reality, not the magic of the moment, which she suddenly thought was too unreal, and she began to return to her reality, gaining a different kind of joy from the present, knowing how to make her day a normal, good, and happy day. Sometimes we are tempted to reach for magic, but that magic may not be the solution or answer to our needs or the space in which we want to move. Waking up from this dream about him and all of this, she simply said “no,” maybe it's better if we don't see each other anymore. She had a past with many men who were very good at quick actions and promises, but did not take enough responsibility for everything else, which caused mistakes. To err is human, but if she suddenly felt differently, she had the opportunity to change, even if she was wrong. She preferred to leave it as it was. If someone were to meet her that way for real, it would happen if someone made an attempt, but at the last moment something happened. It was not a coincidence, but help in avoiding unnecessary trouble that was increasingly appearing in her life. In a sense, she chose another being.

All this reminded her of another story from the past, about a person who took her a long time to heal and cut herself off from, so when her mind suddenly wandered in that direction, she knew it was a sign that she was caught up in an overly positive attitude toward a stranger. From her life experience, she knew that whenever she was too positive about someone, it was usually not a good sign, that she was overly idealizing reality. It was the same in this situation. Of course, such things happen, but they happen in a different way, in a different reality that is real, and because they happen in real reality, they happen and there are no other circumstances, because it is real, and when the unreal tries to take its place, sometimes the universe presents you with other challenges to make you think or help you find a different kind of conclusion than the one that seems to be at the very beginning of the situation, living in the moment, getting carried away, making promises that cannot be kept, no, thank you, don't waste my time and don't make me wait to suddenly put another kind of sadness and frustration, no, thank you, there were those little hidden signs that may seem innocent at first, but may have a much deeper source, and I don't want any more bad seeds, I want roots that are healthy from the very beginning, and no matter how people act, react, live, those little bad cells and healthy cells are important

The environment and people are often too toxic, even their energy from afar can be very harmful, and most of them, if they catch you quickly, your mind will not have a second to come to a good, true conclusion, that's why they act quickly, control quickly, manipulate quickly, so that your brain gets caught up in their attempt, in their action, and not in your peace, silence, and state where you have time to make a quick decision, so you can get caught if you don't follow the peace of mind and heart at the beginning, if you feel they seem to be okay, but if you use your intuition, your first intuition, not following the magic they created the moment they entered your space, you will be ready very quickly to abandon your emotions and clearly develop your true intuition and instinct, which you actually knew from the very beginning about this person. It was just a moment of happiness, joy flowing from within you. Such people easily pick up on the newly born joy of others, so they quickly catch those signals and create something that will bring you back to frustration, rejection, and sadness when it comes to such people. Another type of person will not bring magic, but reality, so it will be very natural, normal, calm, it will seem like nothing, but something, and very nice, but it cannot be described, but it will seem real, it will not seem magical, but as if it touched the most awakened senses and your own mind with another, and you will feel peace feel calm without excitement, desire, or even a certain kind of strange unknown feeling but positive one love becomes peace and peace becomes love

your senses and mind with another person, and you will feel calm without excitement, desire, or even a strange urge to get to know that person better. On the contrary, you will not feel the need or rush to get to know this person, because deep down you already feel an inner joy that this person awakens love in you, self-love, which is the healthiest feeling you can feel towards another person. In a healthy relationship, even at the very beginning, your self-love awakens, it begins to introduce healthier patterns and healthier seeds into your being, so slowly, slowly, you begin to love yourself, to care for yourself in a deeper sense than before. Suddenly, everything becomes easier, smoother, not always, but it happens, and often you are not sure how something so troublesome suddenly became so easy to achieve, to be in, and then you know when and where to turn, you begin to trust this bond, suddenly you finally begin to trust and believe in yourself, respect emerges, as well as boundaries and distance that were not respected, suddenly begin to exist, and this makes you feel calmer, better, it brings comfort and reduces the feeling of fear or anxiety in your being.

Then she left, leaving him no chance to meet again by making contact or planning it, but left that decision to the universe and God.

As she walked freely, she began to smile at the whole situation, and her face became brighter and lighter. She felt as if her whole body was laughing freely, and from deep inside and outside, she even began to laugh out loud at times and felt better and better, forgetting the whole incident.

Her walk became longer and longer, the happier she felt, the healthier she felt, the lighter and freer her walk became. She felt so free and had nothing to think about, nothing to worry about in this beautiful, happy, joyful space; she felt so sparkling, so bright

Suddenly, the weather began to change; it became windier, and it started to snow and rain, but it still wasn't enough to make her go home. Instead, she turned onto another street, quickly passing shops and bars that she knew in a way, but it was a really long break to be in the city and walk around it. She recognized it all and felt that it was another place she knew and didn't know, never staying there long enough to really fit in and synchronize with the rhythm of the city. Instead, she was always forced to create her own path, her own space, and her own reality out of it all, as if the being had become a completely different level of consciousness, and it was in all these simple steps and moments that she could feel and experience it all from the raw reality.

She was walking down the same street, but it wasn't the same reality as before, when she passed by everything with sadness associated with this place and the same rude, mean, or busy people. It was also a kind of proof that the happiness, joy, and radiance flowing from her inner work and her inner self had brought her a whole new reality, filled with so many different moments and real stories. She was about to cross the street when the red light came on, so she stopped and saw a smaller man in front of her, smiling at her with his big eyes and a truly warm, kind, modest, and empathetic smile. These were her first moments in this city, and they were so different from what had happened before. He was truly empathetic, his face beaming with a smile, and there was nothing bad, unpleasant, or rude in his eyes. The smile was simply pure happiness, kindness, and joy at seeing her in front of him. She felt nice, a little shy, but happier to see such a smiling, empathetic man in front of her, so she smiled back and wondered for a moment whether to just press the button, and the light would immediately turn green, and somehow, as she watched the whole situation, she saw the man's smiling face, but it seemed that he wanted this moment to last longer. It was only a few seconds as they passed each other at the crosswalk, so there was no way for him to stop or talk to her, and a look of sadness appeared on his face to think this moment would end. She pressed the button and the light immediately turned green She smiled

He was a little surprised at how quickly and thoroughly it had turned green, as if she were a magician, and what else needed to be done to get through and end this strange kind of momentum. She went through it without a care, as if it were just another experience of life and living without meaning, but she had been back to that moment several times in her head, analyzing the things from the day, and then she went to the store to do some quick shopping, and there everything was almost the same, there were almost no nice people, their faces, their manners, their behavior, maybe one or two people seemed more cordial and okay, but the rest made her leave the store very quickly. She went outside, and since it was getting quite late, cold, and windy, it was time for her to go home, even though she felt she needed more of a leisurely walk. In the end, she took the same route and crossed the pedestrian crossing. This time she couldn't believe her eyes, the street was almost empty, so she must have been more curious about who was walking in front of her, so the streets were not lit and it was quite dark, which surprised her because she remembered the lights in the city she had just come from. This time, the night in this city had become really dark, and the color, that beautiful dark blue hue and the stars, were completely obscured by smog and fog, so the walk became mysterious and resembled entering a space where you don't know what will really happen and what might actually happen. It was just a few streets away.

But that wasn't all that awaited her that night. She was almost at the corner, walking confidently and quickly, when she saw a young man with long hair tied in a ponytail, dressed in rather expensive, fashionable clothes and shoes, doing strange things with his body next to the same sign she had clicked on with her green magic earlier. At first, she thought, “Oh, another drunk man.” She couldn't go back the other way because there was a much darker park on the other side, so she had to cross that street to get closer to her destination. As she approached him and the street, she noticed that he might not just be drunk, but possibly under the influence of drugs. His body was moving so strangely, and the fog added even more adventure to her mind, creating images she couldn't believe as she watched what she was experiencing through his movements. It was as if her body, her eyes, couldn't quite believe or locate what was causing all these gestures he was making, and she had never seen people like this in this place before. She slowed down and stopped because she didn't want to approach a drunk or drug-addicted man who was moving as if on the moon. She thought he might have taken hallucinogenic mushrooms. Whatever it was, watching his movements and synchronization with the fog and weather was quite amazing.

In the end She stopped to wonder whatever it was happening in these quick seconds or minutes that was something her eyes and mind normally hadn't experienced visually for a quite long period of time

Finally, she stopped wondering what had happened in those few seconds or minutes, which her eyes and mind had not normally experienced for quite a long time, and it was fascinating, but he noticed her, and when he did, he started staring at her and performing all the dance moves from the beginning, and she just thought He was in the mood to dance and felt comfortable doing so because it was quite dark and his company was the signal, and his legs started doing the moonwalk, so she thought he must be a good dancer and that was all, whatever it was before, his movements created an atmosphere that made her think about something else. He is really talented when it comes to the way he moves, so watching him do it all over again was quite inspiring. She felt safe again and just let the night walk end with the accent of his movements, which still exist in her consciousness in some way, registering and reading the visual performance in reality at night. Unexpected gestures that make a person more relaxed. I like it. She thought it was really great; his movements were as if he was going beyond his physical body structure, and that's what made her think differently about such behavior at the very beginning. It's amazing what you can do with your body, but he was doing it not from his physical side, but from a more conscious side of existence.

being more relaxed, truly blending into your own way of being, not carrying around what others say and carry.

It was definitely a world and moments that she loved to discover more and more every day.
