“Ah thank you! Ya one thing this lock down has taught me is life is actually simple, we don’t actually need a new dress, or a crowd of people, we don’t need the “right things”, all we need is the “right now”, I think if anyone is not affected by the way life has come to a stand still then they were not even moving to start with, and if they realised in this time that their lives were not going any where then I hope this lock down has inspired them to move...
You have however taught me in a short space in time, to absolutely treasure each moment. The good moments, the absolutely terrible moments, even moments when I feel like crying, cause when I cry, I realise there is pain too. - I felt so down yesterday and just wanted to cry, then I read your messages and realise in all moments in life it doesn’t matter where you are, there is someone close to you, down, hurt, crying and trying to stay strong, so we cry together. Do know this Maryke, your pain is not alone, although I did not loose my baby, when I look at my baby, I feel your hurt, when I get another moment, my heart bleeds for you, and that will never leave me. I am very touched by your loss. And I will always share a small piece of your pain. I think about your boys, your home, your loss, it’s so real to me daily as it is for you. - I gather that although you feel alone and that no one can feel your pain, that you need to know, we can’t feel it no, but that YOU are not alone.”
This was a reply to a simple heartfelt happy birthday message to a friends yesterday.
Knowing we are not alone just makes it more okay. Knowing people care. I have grown so close to unexpected people in the past few months. I can get very heartfelt about how I feel about this, but its not the space I am right now or want to go to.
Its 7am. I just finished reading Chapter 8 of the 5am club. I am feeling inspired, and like my purpose on this earth is to inspire others and to make a meaningful difference. Changing the world can mean making a meaningful difference in the life of but one person. If I do that today it is a good day.
