Kindness is not Weakness

They mistake my craving to understand people.
They do not realise how well I know the feeling of being misunderstood.
The laugh at my walking through the fire to save the people burning me.
They do not see that I have too many burns festering deep inside.
They get annoyed that I constantly check to see if they are okay,
They do no comprehend that I know too well the achiness of no one bothering.
They confuse my kindness for weakness, they take me for a fool.
Eventually they will realise that everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.
Be kind, in the end its all that matters.

I don't need Resolutions...

As usual with a dawn of the New Year, everyone is busy writing or mentally listing their New Year's Resolutions...and the race is on for how fast they will be forgotten, and life to go back to the usual rut. This year...milestones pre-determined by time that I will have to cross, but hoping this will be a year of gratitude, of self reflection, of love, and rekindling my sense of being, of appreciation of my boundless blessings. One day at a time, I will look at my old life through new lenses, find more things and people to love...turn 30 and face each day with a firm belief that better things are coming.  

Happy New Year

A new start, a new year. While reflecting on a year gone by and hopeful of what the new one will bring...with so many things to look forward to, hoping I will be fully present this year to live in all its glory.
