We’ve all no doubt heard the saying, “the camera never lies”. Well, this selfie I took this morning perfectly captures that.
It’s a little hazy, a bit blurred, but I’m still managing my version of a selfie smile. Inside, however, today hasn’t been good. And a lot of days last 6 months haven’t been good.
Supporting someone you love through a grieving process, dealing with your own grief, is bloody hard. It’s like watching someone physically in pain, wanting to swap places, & knowing you can’t.
And now, I’m dealing with loosing my job because I chose to support a friend in need. Something I don’t regret one bit!
As a result, I’m now faced with the process of looking for work and dealing with the inevitability of rejection - a fear I’ve carried my entire life.
So this photo captures me at the moment. A bit blurred, a bit hazy, a bit out of focus, but still trying my best to smile and get on with life.
You never know what someone’s going through. Be kind to your family, your friends, the strangers you meet, the person serving you, the person answering your call, your Uber driver, and most of all, be kind to yourself.
You never know when an act of kindness, like having a coffee or offering a smile, will be all it takes for someone to get through their day and see their tomorrow.
Until next we chat, stay beautiful my friends. And never, ever forget:
