If it were up to you, it wouldn’t be up to me.
If it were all for you, none of it would be for me.
If you said everything, I’d have nothing left to say.
If you filled out the room, there’d be no reason left for me to stay.
If you drew my face, the image would somehow not be mine.
You take all the tickets and I sit here left with all the fines.
Problems Around the World
If you’re able to put things into perspective you will notice that when you look around, your problems are far less dire than some of those around you. But they are your problems and they should not be treated less important than the next, because everyone shares the same feelings one way or another. It’s like a universal language of emotion. Stress, worry, sadness, madness, deflation and then relief, success and happiness, allow us the process of resilience and recovery. So no matter how trivial your problems may seem, give yourself permission to embrace that self discovery because those global feelings manifest themselves in so many different ways. The only real difference between problems is whether or not someone sits by your side to tell you that everything is going to be all right. Even if at that moment, it’s not.
…may your heart be quiet, may peace run deep, may your memories reflect all the love you have shown.
Dedicated to anyone that has lost in love…
