I look, I see, I hear

What do I learn and take away from thee, likewise, what do you want from me?

Two things human beings focus on: Seeking pleasure, avoiding pain.

Nothing is ever perfect. In the nooks and crannies of life we find the best of joys. During the poorest times of my life, I was the happiest because happiness relies not on things but on perspective and thus lies in the mind.

We may think we know what's coming, generally even, painting a simple picture in our minds and visualising an image of what our life will look like; and SPLAT! Bang in the middle of this image comes life- in all its glory; keeping you up, fixing the mess, day and night. So the elements we picked to create the happy image got mixed up and created a brooding brown instead of glorious shades of the hues in the sun.

Being faced with the unexpected and losing control over a certain aspect of your life can be disheartening; but regaining that control is ever more empowering. People are wonderful infinite shades of black and white and an array of beautiful colours. Some bring you grey, others bring you light. In every experience is an opportunity to stand back, gain some depth and understanding over the bigger picture in life- look at the work from a different angle. Suddenly, that brooding brown begins to look more like a deep, rich, classy chocolate colour, a suede, smooth texture that feels good, something you can wear now and be proud of.

And you realise that your image is just a spec entwined with a million other specs.Where do you find yourself in the midst of all of this? Where did you find them in the midst of all it? You never really know someone, yes it's true- because we are made up of layers and layers of experiences, insecurities, hopes, fears, desires, needs and expectations.
