Enjoying this beautiful Saturday, and as always thinking…. So here goes…

I always seem to battle the same war of understanding when it comes to other humans. I would venture to say that all humans desire to be understood, loved and accepted for exactly who they are at their core… . . Not the things that lie on the surface, like your job, your hobbies, the places you have visited, opinions on politics or the weather. Everyone can discuss these things but those things don’t get to the root of who we are. Many people never ask the questions that matter…..

What does the warm sun on your face remind you of? What sets your soul on fire? what do you long for? Do the stars remind you of every wish you have ever made? Whose hand do you wish you were holding on your loneliest night? or have you learned to hold your own hand knowing it will never let go? Do you leave the comfort of home to find yourself or to run from it? How have you healed yourself and grown from love lost? or have you  fooled yourself into believing your heart is free? What is the place you have never allowed another soul to touch? or have you been touched by dirty hands too many times in hopes that someday one person will touch you with unconditional love & security?
Fear. It must be fear. Why else would we hide behind shallow exchanges?
We are taught not to open ourselves up to others. We are taught to fear true intimacy, which comes from a balance of verbal, emotional and physical connection and to settle for physical exchanges. 
Too many people spend so much time working to break people down and to belittle them out of their own insecurities that in the end the only thing being broken down is personal growth & love.
I sit in silence at times looking for hidden clues behind unspoken words. I watch for little expressions that peak behind the mask of protection & occasionally, I will encounter another soul who allows me to read their story page by page cherishing each word in its honesty.

However, it’s fleeting these days to find someone who trusts enough to present their book to you with open hands.
We have all been hurt. Some more than others. It’s all part of the journey.. But it’s how we rise from that hurt, walk through the ashes and into new life that matters. How we relate and help others. Maybe we all have a 50/50 chance of becoming completely closed off or completely broken open to love without limit

Always remember–> we are ALL in this together! Every one of us has a purpose. You never meet anyone by accident. Maybe if we all let our guard down just a little we will realize so many people are just like us. Where we fall short, others are there to help and vise versa. Let your light shine.. positive vibes!!

Happy Saturday! ✨☀️
