It’s been a while – I have been busy with taster sessions at the See You Next Tuesday festival and our Open evening at The Awareness Centre. I have also had a really good time lately, been to the theatre twice – first I saw All The King’s Men , then the Vagina Monologues – what an amazing show, if you are in London you have to go and see it!
I have been thinking a lot lately, about what it is like to be human, to be me – to be the person I am meant to be. I meet a lot of people who seem so shut down, so closed, so worried about behaving in a way that will make them look different or weird. So they decide to keep quiet. To close, to not express that other side of themselves. To not be who they really are.
I try to be me in most situations. I did many years of not being me. Then I started to see glimpses of who I am, what I like, what I don’t like. And I said to the world and to myself, take it or leave it , and I started to love myself for the human being I am. In the beginning it was difficult, it was a struggle every day. But I had to start somewhere. And here I am, still doing it, still talking to myself, still giving myself love, acceptance, compassion and forgiving. I treat myself as my best friend, not as my enemy. I am hot pink, sparkly, laughs a lot, talk a lot of nonsense , dances alone in my kitchen and am totally loving it. I am proud of myself and the person I am today and don’t feel weird saying so, what a gift.
The sun is shining and I’ve got a brunch meeting to attend . Laters!
