Love

First published 2nd September on NeuroDiversity University Blog on FaceBook

Life is a bit difficult for me right now.

Normal Life has been been squeezed and jiggled to make some space for Family.

I am needed, but just as importantly, I have a need to be involved. It's for me.

Intuition says that whilst I'm likely heading to a Burnout, my priority is to push through and give Love.

I'm giving Love by giving what I can. Giving more of me than I probably should.

In the middle of this, I am reminded that the World is full of awesome people.

I met a Nurse yesterday and I swear, she has been sent from Heaven (or whatever higher place you may believe in).

This Nurse lifted us up, she gave Love to a bunch of people she had only just met.

She gave us hugs.

In my fairy tale imagination I kind of believe that if I was to ask around to find out more about this Nurse, I'll discover she doesn't exist.

I'll discover she was a figment of my imagination at a time that I needed to see some hope and to be reminded of the beauty in this world, the beauty in people and the beauty in the purpose of life.

Amidst the heaviness, there was kindness and love.

Just aswell because the world is a bit mixed up right now for so many people.

There are fears and heartbreak and loss.

And life can get confusing and dark.

So I'm going to collect the good moments, the goodness, the memories, the positive impact we have on each other, the connections and the hopes and wishes.

I'm going to collect the good moments so that they hold me up.

They will help me remember that whilst we may worry about what happens next, whilst we hurt thinking about the what ifs, whilst we struggle making the right decisions, ultimately, we are here just to Love and be Loved.

Love wins. I believe it with all my Heart.

Just Love.
