Sometimes, I don’t want to talk.
I don’t want to share
what you won’t understand.
We shouldn’t waste our time.
Playing devil’s advocate
doesn’t cheer me up
on a day I want to give up.
You don’t know, but I suffocate.
I just want to be okay again.
Life should be simpler than this.
So listen to my truth and believe me.
Pain does exist.
Do you know what that means?
The other day, I came across this post on Twitter:
This advice from @brenebrown is a game changer. Pause what you're doing right now and make your list. 😉⚡️⚡️⚡️https://t.co/rrT0DpH0mu pic.twitter.com/6y9r3dsj3M

This short video contains a piece of advice that is truly thought-provoking. Whose opinions really matter to you? The idea of making a list is brand new to me. I have never considered an initiative like this, and now I see great value in it.
There’s always a small group of people you trust. Whenever you are working on new ideas, you ask them what they think, and you find their feedback useful. You respect them, and they respect you. There’s a reason why their opinions matter.
In a digital world, where anyone can criticize your work mercilessly, you have to learn who to listen to. Not all opinions matter. It’s unfair to let trolls influence your every move and your every thought.
Those whom you trust are the ones that can offer you solid comments. You know you can only expect honesty from them. Listen to them and nurture meaningful conversations.
If you were to start that list right now, how many names would there be on it?
My husband and I are travelling to the other side of the world this week. We will take a break, and we’ll be back until November.
We’ve planned this trip for over a year, and we’re really looking forward to it. The time has come, and now we can enjoy it after months and months of hard work.
I’m also looking forward to all the thoughts that will pop up as I experience places I never thought I’d visit. Of course I’m ready with a brand new notebook to capture as much as I can. Travelling is inspiring after all.
I’ll be back with new ideas and lots of pictures!
