Hey you,

I see how tired you are. Not just physically. The kind of tired that lives in your bones. The kind that comes from holding everyone else together while you're quietly breaking from the inside.

You’ve been this medicine for so long that you don’t even know what that feels like anymore. That heaviness in your chest, the compassion fatigue that never seems to leave… it’s your body whispering, “What about me?”

You don’t prove your worth by being the one who holds everyone up. So today. Sit in the sunlight. Let someone else hold you. It’s safe to stop. To breathe. To cry if need be. Feel the words you’ve said to everyone else: “You do matter.”

No vehicle gets very far running on empty.

Because the truth is, the medicine you’ve been dishing out to everyone else is a prescription with your name on it.

I see You.

💯

We are living in a time that punishes mistakes and idolizes perfection, yet life itself is built on trial and error. Growth is messy, change is uncomfortable. Reinvention is not a failure of who you were, it’s the proof that you’re still alive.

Right now, the world feels heavy with fear of getting it wrong, so people freeze, numb out, or mask. But life doesn’t care if you get it right. It cares that you keep moving, keep feeling, and that you recalibrate whenever things no longer fit.

We’d all breathe a lot easier if we stopped holding each other hostage to the past. There's a real level of freedom that comes when you accept that life is simply a series of draft copies, not a limited edition.

You are not here to get it right, you are here to live it real!

Most people wait for a clear road map before they make their move. They wait for the right job to present itself, the right relationship, or a health scare, for the perfect time to make that change. Almost as if their waiting for permission before they can jump ship. They tell themselves it’s not the right moment, the right conditions, nor the right version of themselves. Blah Blah Blah...

That low-level unease or restlessness you’ve been feeling, yes that one you keep brushing off isn’t a mistake. It’s a signal. Its that sense that you’re actually meant for more. Its the niggly way life trys to get your attention. Most ignore it. They numb it. Convince themselves that “safe” is good enough, even if it slowly starts to eat away at them, and then the rot sets in.

But life rarely works that way. Your next adventure starts the moment you stop waiting for that absolute level of certainty. That means your next big chapter probably won't show up until you do. You know I'm right (meh).

And no you won’t ever feel ready, not completely. You’re not supposed to. Readiness is something you earn by moving along, not something you wait for. You're probably not supposed to know where its taking you either (double meh).

So ask yourself, honestly: how much longer are you going to pretend you can’t hear yourself calling? In the infamous words of donkey "Are we there yet"?

Most people aren’t really living. They’re waiting. Waiting for the plan, waiting for things to all line up, for permission, for some perfect moment to finally start writing their story.

But life doesn’t wait. It cracks you open despite all of that. The rain still falls on your skin whether you’re ready or not. The real question is, will you let yourself feel it? Will you cry when it’s there, laugh when it comes, and stop hiding behind who the world told you to be?

Your aliveness depends on your willingness to be unguarded.

Coming home to yourself is the start of a life that actually feels like yours. The pen’s already in your hand (it always was). The rest is still unwritten.

Your life doesn’t begin when you’re ready. It begins the moment you stop hiding and pick up the pen.

Write it. Feel all of it. Start to live it.

It’s not just that the moment went viral. It’s that real lives, marriages, kids, friendships, careers, now all carry the fallout of a choice that the whole world has now decided to meme, amplify, and essentially judge.

Don't get me wrong, I laughed at one of those memes about that couple at the concert too.
And then I felt a bit off about it.

Not because I think I’m above all that, because quite clearly I'm not. It hit me though, how easily I got pulled into all that online noise. Sharing, scrolling, turning someone else’s life into trending entertainment.

And it made me think, how does this kinda stuff spread so fast while all the things that actually do matter barely make the headlines?

And there’s a real double standard here. We tell our kids, “It’s okay, we all make mistakes. Learn from them. Move forward.” But in reality, as adults, we devoured someone else’s mistake, threw them in the stocks, pelting rotten vegetables at them, acting as if we’ve never screwed up a day in our lives. Yeah nah...that's not cool.

Maybe it does say something deeper about us though, and where we are at collectively, or maybe I'm just overthinking all this. Maybe in some weird twist of fate, this also allows us to feel a bit more connected, globally in this crazy world. Adulting is flipping hard, and we are all learning.

I’ve been thinking about that infamous line “Lights will guide you home…” Because it’s also lighting the way to get back, isn't it?

Some of my stories just didn’t make the final cut. Not because they weren’t profound enough, but because there are just too many to hold in this one book. Too many memories. Too many moments that cracked me wide open.

This was one of them...

I was with him on the last night of his life. The cancer had taken its toll; bleeding, shame, exhaustion. He was absolutely mortified. And as I gently cleaned him up again, I told him the truth: "No one forces us to do this work". I said, "If I do right by you, maybe when my time comes, someone will do the same for me". He softened after that. Something in him eased, let go even.

But what stayed with me most wasn’t the amount of blood or our tender nursing care, it was their love. His frail wife sat hunched beside him, desperately trying to stay awake. I asked my colleague to help me bring in another bed. "Would you like to sleep next to him"? I asked. They did, of course. And they rolled into each other like two souls who’d never stopped choosing each other.

Before I left, I whispered, "Who am I to stand in the way of true love"? And I never saw him alive again. He died hours later, still wrapped in the arms of the woman he'd spent his entire life loving.

At the end of life, it’s not the diagnosis or prognosis that matters most. It’s love. Not the kind written in wedding vows, but the kind that still aches for you when your body is failing and the room you lie in smells of death. The kind that reaches for you in a hospital bed at 3am because someone's made that space for you.

I realised that night, that we were not always there to save lives. We we’re there to honour them as they ended. And that might just be the most loving thing I’ll ever do.

Most of the world’s violence, blame, disconnection, burnout, addiction, and oppression seems to stem from one thing: unfelt, unprocessed emotion. People are carrying mountains they won’t name. And instead of sitting with that, they outsource it, to their kids, their partners, their colleagues, their frenemies, their bodies, their own stories.

Every fight, every war, every “othering” collapses when you realize that the trembling in someone else’s body is not separate from your own, not really. That the way we soothe, attune, and show up for each other either repairs or ruptures the world we all live in.

We keep aserting what change should look like, in new laws, better policies, stronger movements etc. They matter, of course, but the most needed right now, is co-regulation. In small, ordinary, unglamorous moments of attunement. One breath. One child. One conversation. Again and again.

That’s how we rewire this planet. That is the world I want for our children. That's the world they and we all deserve.

Some days, healing looks like giant breakthroughs. Other days, it just looks like staying present without trying to fix a thing. Just noticing. Breathing into it. And instead choosing not to run from it this time.

There’s a quiet kind of strength in letting things be unfinished and yet still showing up with TLC (tender loving care).

So if all you did today was to love yourself where it still hurts. That’s not nothing...That’s everything.

07/07/2025

Some people don’t say goodbye. They just become the silence that changes you.

And it’s in the stillness after they've gone that you start to feel what they were really showing you.

Not in the words.
Not in the story.

But in the pause...
The light that doesn’t ask to be seen.
The breath you didn’t know you were holding.
The ache that makes life feel more alive.

Maybe they weren’t teaching you how to remember them.
Maybe they were teaching you how to remember who you really are.

03/07/2025

For the one who's tired but doesn’t know why...The one who's feeling over it dot com. Because the world's a little messed up right now.

Maybe you’re not tired from doing too much.
You’re just tired from holding it all in.
From being okay when you’re not. Not really. You've just been moving at a pace your body never agreed to.

There's nothing actually wrong with you.
You probably just need to go down a gear or two. Rely on cruise control for a bit even.

01/07/2025

You’ve waited for the signs. You’ve held out for permission. You’ve looked for the right time, the right energy, and that right version of yourself.

But what if this is the actual turning point?

Not an external shift. Not the world changing around you. You (Hear me out).

The quiet decision you make in your own body to show up differently. To respond differently. To pause instead of react. To speak from your centre instead of survival. To move in alignment with who you really are, not who you’ve been taught to be.

You are not waiting anymore. You are the moment when everything changes.

Because your presence is everything. Not in a loud, flashy kinda way, but in the calm, clear energy of someone who knows who they are and no longer needs proof or permission.

Stay with that. It’s enough already.

Not one of us got here by accident. You’re here for a reason, we all are. And I know, that can feel like a bit of pressure to get 'life' right. But maybe that's not the point.

Sometimes we get so used to being in survival mode that we've stopped checking in with what actually matters to us, like really matters. What feels good, what brings our sparkle back to life?

Your purpose probably isn’t some big “aha” moment. It’s much quieter than that. It’s usually all the stuff you keep circling back to. The things that bother you because they actually do matter. The way you help, even when no one asks, especially when no one's looking. That ache, that longing that's pretty much shaped you.

Maybe it starts by being a bit more honest about what no longer fits. By following what feels true, and real, even if you can’t quite put your finger on why yet.

The rest... Well, I guess that just simply unfolds, exactly as it's supposed to. That probably doesn't make much sense right now. But maybe that's the whole point!!
