After a much needed getaway to the Gold Coast, I have returned to Sydney semi-tanned & considerably clear-minded (so I keep telling myself)
.. I was never good at maths, but 2 days away from the usual hustle & bustle = AMAZING!
And so here it is ... blog no.3 - an entry that has come about from the realisation that life is not as complicated as it seems... I pinky swear.
I am definitely not a glorified Oprah, Ricki Lee or Dr Phil ... but this Mama (B) can answer just about any question to do with YOU & how we all got here, this exact moment .. want me to let you in on my secret??
it's "Because of You"
No, I promise this is not a blog inspired by Kelly Clarkson .. nor is it some sort of vengeful blame game ... I'll show you ..
I believe we were all born without definition (because to me, the future is unforeseen). We were born without knowing morals, and had not a single unique 'trait' besides our physical genetic make-up. When I say trait I'm speaking of the special something that has made YOU who you are (and nobody else).
I often ask myself how I ever got here. To this point in time .. what made me twitch? Disappointed? Upset? Excited? Whatever it might be ...
In either my brightest or darkest moments, YOU (or someone else) has been a part of my journey .. and I have evolved "Because of You"
When I say "you", it is each & every one of you - family, friends, foes .. it's the lovely barrister who makes your coffee in the morning .. it is the people who surround your life ..
"Because of You" .... (which one is YOU)
... I have cried my most painful tears
... I faced my worst fears (clowns & spiders are a totally different story .. ewww freaking out!!.... seeee?)
... there is a reason for my actions
... I felt weak & insignificant
... I felt strong & independent
... I have butterflies
... I have loved unconditionally & have also despised
... I am healing
... I sacrificed & expected nothing in return
... I know right from darn-right-fucking-stupid
... I'm stronger & more cautious
... I'm better than before
... I am here .. and I want to be
... I'm happy
... I'm ME
So .. before you make yourself go grey about that particular "so & so" ... stop ... turn it around ... and thank them for it. For it was "him" .. and it was "her" .. it was "Because of You" that I am who I am, and you are who you are ..... Simple.
P.S. Because Of You .. haha how ironic .. I swear that was not intentional ... or was it!??
So here's to more epiphanies & blogs ..
