Life is for Living

A new poem for you to consider and how these words can be applied to many contexts. Inspired by an event and conversations, I wrote this poem in five minutes.
“Life is for living, not for quitting
Life is truly yours, not for fitting
Into someone else’s idea of how it should look
Life is for uplifting, not for hitting
Your own face when it doesn’t work
Life is not about splitting yourself in half
Life isn’t all about sitting either
But just turning up and not necessarily winning.
When something needs to be done, do it.
When someone needs your love, show it.
When someone needs a friend, be it.
But above all be a friend to yourself.
Because without that
You life will never feel like a life that is fulfilling or forgiving
When things are messed up
chucked up
mixed up
TRUST that it will all work out in the end
As intended
All in unison
Blended, not offended
PEACE! “
As writers don’t sabotage your growth, write. As crafters craft, as photographers, take pictures. As walkers, walk and as healers heal. As carers, care and as makers, make. As musicians play and as gardeners, garden the seeds of today for tomorrow’s harvest, because it is all good and worthwhile and ENOUGH.
You are enough. TODAY ALWAYS.
That’s my message for this week. Plain and simple and getting back after a break for work involving the new tax year, of exciting plans and new moves. Also, been painting a daughter’s kitchen:))
Until next time, when I will be talking about therapy the colour of blue. Interested to hear my thoughts then see you next week.
