surrounded*

When I started to blog, I've felt extremely alone...
 
I felt sad, different, lost!

Then I met BEAUTIFUL, gorgeous, intelligent, 
courageous, artistic, loving, gentle, kindred souls...

They reminded me of my dreams, 
of dreaming wild and passionate dreams, 
following my heart, 
being true to myself...
they reminded me: I am enough...

I realised all of us are 
going through the same things, 
on different levels, 
we are all living this magical thing called LIFE! 

I'm surrounded by beauties who dances 
with me this dance called life...
My friends hold my hand tight while dancing, 
they hug my heart...look me in my eyes, 
reminding me of my beauty!  

Even though we are all the same, 
we are so different....
Some days we feel scattered, 
some of us are hiding, 
some blooming, 
some laying down to rest, 
others jumping up and down, 
we are playing, 
laughing, 
crying, 
wishing, 
doing, 
being,
surrounded by friends
who are living this life right next to us. 
never alone.

"When the heart weeps for what it has lost, 
the spirit laughs for what it has found."

It is amazing, isn't it? For the first time in a long while I feel like I have a connection with some other people, some nice friends...Although, there are times when the insecurity beast pops it's head up and I wonder why hasn't someone left me comment or why this or that. And while it makes me insecure I also realize it is the best thing for my insecurity.

What a creative idea!

I love how you took pictures of clothespins (not just plain old wooden ones but brightly coloured ones!) as a symbol of all your diverse and colourful friendships.

Just beautiful :)
