Open letter

Preamble: When this text was written, it expressed a perspective that no longer reflects the direction the Devir Bordado project has taken. However, the content described here is of utmost importance as a means of personal expression. Therefore, it will remain unchanged, as its primary purpose is to provide recognition, even if this text never reaches the final recipient to whom it was addressed. Every written word carefully sought to offer recognition, identification, calm, and passage; after all, no great transformation is complete before the end.

Today I am in a place of healing. I am searching for myself, after spending so long searching for you.

There have been moments when we were very close to finding each other—same place, same people in common, same circles—but we were not ready for each other.

Until there was a moment when I was standing in the right place, at the right time, and with the right questions, and I found you. But you, unfortunately, did not find me back. Yet.

We have a very long path to walk. And the coming years will bring great transformations for both of us.

But that is no guarantee whatsoever that one day you will choose the path that will lead you to find me.

Only you can choose to walk. Only you can choose for yourself.

I chose for myself and decided to walk. I decided to fight, to study, and to keep being my best version, the most faithful to myself. And I decided to change, even with the fear that geography might lead me to places even farther from you, before you can see me—I decided to trust. It is an act of faith!

But I have no power over your decisions.

I plant the hope that you, in walking, may also one day find me in the middle of the road so that we can walk together, side by side.

I wish that, on your darkest days, you may feel my strength, even if you do not know me.

I wish you not to feel alone. I wish you not to stop in time. And that you may cross over too, even if it is never in my direction.

I wish you happiness above all things and faithfulness to yourself. I wish you may find yourself. And who knows, you may recognize me.

Today is just a commercial date.

But I take advantage of the egregore of this day to manifest in the world that I recognize you.
