Oh what a blessing it is to be understood

To have someone ‘get you’ without having to utter a word

To find comfort in the silence

To connect. 

It’s a lonely world when you’re not understood

Trying to express a thought

An emotion

An intention

An energy

Only to find it fall by the wayside time and time again, as if speaking in a foreign language.

And yet we still try so hard to be understood 

We reach, we seek and continue to pursue

Expressing ourselves in the best ways we know how.

But perhaps it’s not through the lack of effort that you’re not understood 

Perhaps it’s just that everybody is talking 

And nobody is listening.

  • The Decision of No Decision

  • Taking Your Second Chance
    It’s pointless, because history will always be confined to history. Instead it may be time to look yourself in the mirror, at the risk of not liking what you see. Because getting it right, means being honest with yourself. It comes with the brutality of having to confront your own demons, And being able and willing to take the hits. So take your second chance. Don’t look back in anger, maintain the hope And be determined to do things a little different.

    There’s a great symphony in sadness A million things conspiring beautifully together to set a sombre tone. It’s a tragedy, no doubt.  Irrational at times, often transcending words or reason....
  • Communication Is Not a One Way Street
    Communication is not a one way street. It’s not about talking, it’s about listening. It’s not about reacting, it’s about responding. It’s not about knowing, It’s about understanding. It’s not about judgement or pretense It’s about connection.
  • Leaving It All Behind
    Some things are certainly worth holding onto -  Others we just hold onto because we are too afraid to say goodbye.  Not because we can’t But because doing so means facing our own mortality
