That is so beautiful and real. I was actually thinking about this just today. We don’t always have to aim to be the greatest, because sometimes it’s just not meant to be - or maybe we don't even want it. It’s okay to just do, try, and struggle without the pressure of being "the best" at something. The best human, the best friend, the best lover, or the best artist. We should just allow ourselves to be mediocre.

Oh dear. If I’m being honest, I find this piece very unsettling perhaps because I strongly sense that you’re right, but am not ready to accept it yet. And I love that reading such a piece, in all its brevity could allow me to feel so much. I love this. Thank you!

No comment could've possibly made me happier!! I get that no everyone has the same views as us, but acknowledging and trying to understand them, is truly commendable. Thank you so, so very much 🀍🀍

It’s my pleasure 🫢🏾 and thank you. Yes, it’s so important that we sit with things that bring us discomfort. We become better for it, and consequently better for each other. :)

I found this inspiring and I rarely use that word. Right now it resonates. With a soft bang.

HUHU. reading this felt like a gift. i love how your work doesn't shy away from the bruises and lacerations, and yet does something need to be 'profound' in the greater scheme of things in order to be worthy of love? is it not beautiful to experience and to feel, and to live, just for the sake of it?

beautiful work, once again. πŸ«‚

β€œThe mind, then, is perhaps an altogether different entity of its own. Broken and bruised by time, it lies scattered on the floor like glass shards, patiently waiting for one’s own self to step on them. Glass shards β€” they look like stars when sunlight pierces through them. Perhaps not every star requires darkness to glisten from afar; perhaps all some need is the warmth of another.” The mind is different for sure, and it takes a long time for it to heal.

So, so very glad it found its way to you 🀍

The writing is as beautiful & pointed as always --- & I love love love the grace of not everyone being meant for greatness, that being alive in of itself is enough. β™‘

Unsaid Silences's avatar

You encapsulated it soo beautifully! We often overlook the quiet beauty of existence in the rush for greatness. Your kind words truly mean a lot 🀍

I could visualize you standing up on a stage narrating this piece. It was powerful yet tender. Bold yet soft. β™₯️

As intended it to be 🀍 So very glad it found its way to you 🀍

I think it is important that we as a species acknowledge our own mortality and keep moving forward

Its not like we have much of a choice in the matter but accepting it would make it easier to go ahead just like you so eloquently put!

Unsaid Silences's avatar

You encapsulated it so beautifully. Couldn’t possibly agree more 🀍
