Life.....

What is life?

It's a funny old thing.

Life passes us by often, until we stop to contemplate it.

The full moon and eclipse this week has certainly brought up some intense emotions and feelings for many, and I am no different.

This week has brought up old feelings, and realisations about life, my life and other people's life. Do we really ever embrace life at its fullest, why do we feel confined to the fact that we have to join the rat race and that we have to work in a certain way to earn money or conform to societal way's to sustain our living that then effects our mental wellbeing, when it causes us to constantly compare ourselves to others and what people think of us. Why do we prioritise others feelingas to vaildate us, before our own!

All over social media the ugliness of others is coming out, why has it become socially acceptable to be nasty to others and tear people down. People are unhappy and want to pull others into the unhappiness.

We can choose to be kind, and respectful and we can choose to be happy for other peoples happiness and joyful moments in life.

We really never do understand what the person next to us , friends, family, partners, colleagues or strangers are going through. What could be flippant and funny to one, can be detrimental and painful to another.

Nobody on this planet has ever walked in the shoes of another person. Each person's life is individual to them.

Where is the understanding that everyone has their own opinions and its OK if they are not the same as the next person's. Your beliefs are yours and as long as you are honouring your values without hurting anyone else, what others think or believe is up to them.

Everyone reacts in different ways and events trigger some people in ways that not everyone can understand because everyone's life experiences and challenges are different. Life throws stuff up for us to deal with and usually at the most unexpected of times.

We only get one shot at life, so don't spend it being hurtful, rude or ignorant.

Be kind and compassionate to yourself and others, and maybe then we can live in a better world.

Much love ❤️ H xXx
