My life.

Spirit of Light

Be who ever you want
It dawned on me today that my life is not about me, and what I want.
My life is about creating moment for others to enjoy.
And my life is about being there for those who are in any form of help.

It started with my mother and father, who both had cancer, and I had to put my own "needs and wants" on hold.

Then it was my ex girlfriend who needed my help more or less 24/7 for years.

And now my current Girlfriend are in need of my help to be able to function good in her life.

The thing is, even i spend a lot of time creating my art and business, most of the time what I do, is not for me. But to create what others want, who can't create it them selves.

In the same time, I haven't lost me, I actually found more of who I am in this prosess, but in my past i looked at it from the wrong point of view:)
I looked at it as a personal struggle because I did not get time to "what I wanted"
It is not about me. It is about creating moments for other people to enjoy.

I found the sooner I realized that it wasn't about me, the easier it was to stop feeling bad and start enjoying stuff.

I have found this to be true. It is about the heart, not the head. We need to think things through,
but also allow ourselves to stay open to the pain and struggles of others.

peace
