In all the crazy of the world
right now, there is still a space for peace, for love, for joy.
This seems an almost impossible place to be right now. I have seen
friends in the deepest depression, they have lost jobs, they have lost loved
ones, they have been dealing with the ones in their homes for a lot longer than
they normally do.
But during this insanity we all still have something to give.
Parts of our hearts that we should allow people to see. Our lives have changed
forever in the last several months. These months showing us who people really
are, who we are. Which leaves us with a choice and the question of
who we want to be, regardless of those around us and the inundation of media
and people’s opinions telling us who we should be.
However, right now, I don't think
that who I want to be is up to the media, or other people’s opinions. I think that currently I need to be the
softer, more loving version of myself. First to myself, and then to others. I
need to be more forgiving of hurt, and more giving of love. I need to remember that I will have moments of
fear, and times where I breakdown or hide from the world. I need to remind myself
that even these moments will bring me to the other side with relief and a less
hardened heart.
I feel that allowing myself to be
the most real, the most compassionate version of me will help me to find a
place where I can be there for others. That if you need something you will feel
ok coming to me to ask. That if I can be an ear to listen or a (virtual) hand
to hold, that I can be.
And I hope that moving forward I
can take these things that I’ve worked on and keep being that person. The me that has peace, love, and joy inside me
that is easy to get to for others.
