Tell them, show them you love them.
The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words never said and deeds never done. We often assume that they should know how much we love them. But we should never assume, we should let them know.

Be present More than talk, speak When you speak, be mindful of what you communicate When you hear, listen Hug them and then some – embrace them Don’t simply be awake, be aware When you look at them, try to see them. Judgement is easy and light, try empathy

💜💜💜
The highest level of relationship with anyone is attained when two people can communicate and understand each other even where no words are spoke. You know what a certain twitch in the eyes means, what that glassy glow says and can see the sorrow behind those eyes. You hear the music in their soul through…

Believe them.
When someone shows you who they are believe them. Like the good old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words” they say. If someone is blunt enough to tell you the truth or if you are able to listen to what they are saying with their words and what’s being implied or not said, also…

Time a healer of all wounds ?
This is a common cliche. We tell our friends, family, the general universal population that in due time their wounds will heal. Today I am thinking that this phenomenon is in itself flawed. Time can not be an independent healing factor. Healing of tissues comes with fibrosis in which case scar(s) are formed. Some scars…

Letting go and moving on.
People are more afraid of moving on than they are of letting go. We have heard this said many times: you need to let go. In most cases the people being told to let go have the knowledge and conviction of why they need to do it or better still why the must let go.…

Conversation with people.
The art of communicating verbally to each other by all means surpasses all kinds of study we could ever do about people, culture, beliefs, anything at all. The best way to know anyone at all is to come up close. The best way to educate oneself about others and deal with our ignorance is to…

Loneliness and solitude.
Alone is not at all equivalent to lonely. You can be alone but completely happy and content with your solitude. Some people are so good at solitude. Solitude does not always translate to loneliness, an unpleasant emotional response to perceived isolation. Solitude can infact be very freeing and rejuvenating. It allows us to clear out…

I totally pulled this off of Facebook. Makes lots of sense. You can’t blame me. Am a sucker for love.

Hurt is hurt
It is true that no one can tell the extent and the depth of someone’s pain until or unless you have walked in their shoes as that person. In other words, even if you walked in their shoes, unless you are that person you can not fully comprehend how someone hurts and how much they…

Words that old school parents only insinuate.
I love you. There is a category of parents from different tribes, ethnic groups, nationalities, …through different continents who just won’t say they love you. They can go to the Moon and back for you. They in fact do things that prove this. They will rip the coat off of their own back to cover…

A life of significance- Dolly Parton.
I have learnt in my quest for success that many of us in this lifetime will indeed acquire success but few people will achieve significance. Our success becomes significant when it becomes the success of others , when the world can drink from our well. This is the reason I want to be more than…

#1 “Why are you coming out now ?”
This question has a certain tone of animosity to it. It is void of basic human compassion . I mean especially for the people who use this statement to say: ” If you were raped 5, 10 years ago you should have spoken then. If you stayed in an abusive relationship it probably didn’t hurt…

Happiness is not a destination
It is really easier to live in anticipation of a future filled with happiness, a destination with no sorrow where there are no tears, no pain. It gives us hope to go through the crappy days. It gives us a reason to live through the day and keep breathing through the night. It is the…
