msjessica's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i couldn't post this on social media because i just felt too.... privileged I started writing some babble about how there are too many good things on in May and I'm struggling to work out how to fit it all in and it struck me that that is such a beautiful problem to have, so here I am writing a #gratitudefriday post. Grateful that to see my immediate family will take at least 5 days, because that family is made up of beautiful and seperate individuals + their own little family units, so distinct and complete all in their own rights, and for now we are all in our own ways happy and well. It is a rare gift, I cherish it and know these times are fleeting. Also that there is just so much great music and art available to absorb and dissect, the bliss that comes from sometimes just appreciating things for their beauty, regardless of how *problematic* they may be. And then the privilege of being able to dissect these beautiful things, to look at them critically and question them, challenge the works and myself and the idea's they present. To live within an ever changing framework. To see incredible people around me affecting change, making things happen, the slow journey of getting tuned into this, of waking up, of wanting to help where I can, of caring, of seeing that my voice can be heard, and when it is joined with others it makes a chorus that cannot be ignored. I am floored by gratitude. Even on my worst days, I am lucky, and I am blessed. 1:06 a.m. - 2015-03-28 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
