Happiness

What have you been working on?

I read something very interesting this morning, in a nutshell it said that fame and fortune can be destructive, unless you can move to a place where you get your sense of self from inside. Where you don’t need others and fame to validate you.

I was always seen as a person with huge potential, I know I can write, but it was wider than that, people saw something different in me. I didn’t. I loved writing but I had no ongoing agenda. I wrote a play for fun, then my group performed it for fun. Theatres were interested.

I’ve never known if it was the fact that all my strength and focus went into protecting my mental health from the people around me at the time, I’ve spent more of my life living despite them. But it’s also equally likely that the determination to dominate the world and be well known isn’t within me. I care more about feeling good.

Reading that this morning I’ve realised that what felt like a negative has turned into my greatest strength. I define me.

I’m able to help people now and I love that, if I ever put my work out there and it takes off, I’d love that too. Unlikely at my age but never say never.

So that’s what I’ve been working on and apparently doing better than I realised. The place I’m in feels right.

Who’d a thought it.

Have a great weekend
