On writing and writing on

October 20, 2017

 It's #NationalWritingDay and in honour of my first and everlasting love, writing, I want to share why I write. I write because the words need to come out or I am going to burst. I write what I can't say out loud. I write because my mind is so loud and the room is so quiet. I write because I want to share my story so that others know they are not alone. I write because I am passionately, madly in love with books. I write because writing is magic, and we all need a little magic in our lives - even if it's just some thoughts and feelings on a piece of paper.

 Most importantly, I write because I love to write. Because there is no reason why I should, no one to impress, and nothing I get out of it other than knowing this who I am - it's my identity. The world cannot take it from me. It has nothing to do with what I have, what I achieve, what I have lost or who I am with. It is me.

Change . You both have to be willing and capable of growing together. The goal here is to see if you can get back to love without sacrificing your authentic selves in the process. To do this, you must remove the idea of promises, attachment...

Courage is not the absence of fear

"Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear." -George Addair Wholeheartedly believe this. We have two choices in life: be led by fear, or lead with love and courage, trusting that things will unfold and work out just as they should. Maybe not how you planned, but always for the best. Fears will never disappear. But when you make peace with your fears, possibilities will appear. The next time you feel fear, just take the superhero stance! (And do some yoga to quiet the mind.)

Dream

Would you mind dreaming with me a little while longer Because I'm not finished with you yet You tell me not to remember But I don't want to forget It may not be perfect, nor am I, neither are you But you bring me something I can hold on to It helps me surrender It helps me advance And most of all, you already know, It makes my soul dance.
