Life Is…
A consequence of many things. Some good. Some bad. Some out of our control. Some in our control.
…More than my next pair of heels
That’s right. It’s about the people we share moments with. Family. Friends. It’s the hard times that shape us most and the people who hold us together during these hard times mould us and yeah, I’m glad I have such a great family and such beautiful friends.
Life is…
New experiences. New realisations. New places. New faces.
…More than what the world sees
There is so much depth in each of us. Sometimes you meet a new person. You might or might not have a conversation with them. You might or might not let them in. And sometimes after a decade of knowing them you realise, you haven’t even scratched the surface of who they are.
Life is…
A smile. A cry. A laugh. A shout.
…More than what you have
Sharing is really caring. Giving something that means the world to you to the next person who needs it more than you do. Offering a helping hand, because you can. And opening yourself up, even though you might be copied or your ideas stolen or maybe you might be betrayed.
Life is…
For the living. I love my books, but I cannot live through them. They are not the air I breathe. The heart that breaks. They cannot taste on my behalf and laugh at that joke for me.
I’m alive and I love being alive. It’s not always flashlights, spotlights and fireworks. There are times I wish I could stay in my house and not think. Not feel. Not breathe. But there are more times when I would rather share my laughter, my thoughts and my joy. Days when I want to run barefoot on green and hopefully dry grass, and lay sprawled out under a huge tree looking up at the blue African sky on an African summer’s day.
…Living is Loving…
Love and be loved.
