I haven’t had any particular inspiration to write in a while

And I found that I’ve fallen into a rhythm where..

Every hurt I’ve experienced, I’ve given myself space to feel and then gotten back up and kept it pushing

Every victory I’ve had, I’ve thanked God for and kept working diligently on what was before me

However, I’ve also come to a point where..

I feel like I’m at a plateau

A point where I feel like my fire is burning a little lower than usual

I feel like my candlestick’s wax is moving closer to the base holding it

You can only absorb life’s hits and ride the waves of the highs for so long before you need to stop again and simply be.

Simply be a human being with needs and desires

Simply be somebody outside of what you can produce

It always comes back to the universal human desire to be loved for who you are and not just what you can do for others

I love the thought of giving to others

I love the thought of holding people in their most vulnerable and discouraged moments and helping them to believe in themselves

Letting them know they are loved even when they cannot perform

Yet, those giving also need that as well
