I'm sure it's you (the wedding song). . .

It's just the little things that tell you
That you are right where you should be
And whether we're in love our out of it
There's something deep inside my heart that tells me

Do you take notice of the little things that cross your path on a daily basis?  I never really took notice at the best of times, but I sure took notice at the worst of times.  I would spend time trying to make sense of things and most importantly, my emotions.  When a woman is strong and knows herself, she doesn't have room or space to allow someone to try and venture in your feelings, let alone your DMs.  We learn to figure out what acceptance really means.  Whether we choose to accept being alone or being ready for a relationship.  Do you think you would know when you are ready for anything that takes you by surprise?

I'm sure it's you, I'm sure it's you
None could ever change my mind
Or convince me otherwise
My heart belongs to you
I'll know we'll make it through
I'm sure it's you

How do you even know for sure though?  How in tune with your heart are you, really?  We can often rely on others to bounce back our emotions when we are checking for how accurate our arrows are when Cupid decides to smile in our direction.  Have you met someone who has managed to change your mind?  What kind of life did you envisage for yourself?  Did you have plans that you have now completely abandoned?  Not because of COVID-19, I'm just talking generally in broad terms, where you are able to attribute a change in yourself because someone new has decided to show up and make you take notice.

If we could do everything over
I wouldn't try to change a thing
Cos every inch has made us stronger
I'm glad we took the time to wait for God's sign

Are you built to deal with intensity?  I'm not sure if I can handle more intensity after the past couple of years that I've had.  I just think it would be nice to have a quiet, unassuming kind of life, at least for the rest of the year.  Are there things that you wouldn't change?  I don't know that I would necessarily change anything either.  I've been taking on board new experiences in unfamiliar territory and it's definitely taking me out of my comfort zone in more ways than one.  Are you able to say that you are categorically stronger for having taken chances, taken risks, take a long look at yourself in the mirror and winked at yourself before you stepped out the door?  There are more trials to come, but if someone is prepared to be there for you and remind you of God's signs along the way, what can you possibly do?



I'm sure it's you, I'm sure it's you
None could ever change my mind
Or convince me otherwise
My heart belongs to you
I'll know we'll make it through
I'm sure it's you

Are you a hard person to convince?  I guess it depends on what you're being asked to consider, right?  How do you know where your heart belongs?  I sometimes wonder where my heart is most of the time.  I misplace it so often like I lose my work keys, or house keys.  Reliable objects that open places that are meant to be familiar and provide some sort of sanctuary, depending of course on how these places make you feel.  You only allow yourself to be convinced because you are prepared to listen.  Do you accept what you hear?  Why should your heart belong to anyone other than yourself?  Sometimes when you freely give your heart away, it just makes it that much easier to break.  Is it any wonder you are cautious with it.  I would be. You've only got one.  Unless you need to get a transplant maybe?

Today I'm standing here without any fear
You see every moment lead me right to you
But when the cares of life make it hard to believe
I'll remember you were meant for me the one to set me free

When I think back in my life about places I have arrived, and who I have had standing there looking into my eyes, I have noticed those moments that have to lead me there.  They never really make sense in isolation, because all moments are connected.  All moments take you to somewhere that is predestined for you to discover, whether you like it or not.  When those moments are divided into negative or positive feelings, you need to steel yourself to be able to respond accordingly.  You might let everyday distractions take you away from recognising these unseemingly, but obviously interconnected moments.  It becomes magic doesn't it when you can both see those moments together.  Because you thought only you noticed those things, you didn't realise that someone else was watching just as closely hoping you would see the connection.

I'm sure it's you, I'm sure it's you
None could ever change my mind
Or convince me otherwise
My heart belongs to you
I'll know we'll make it through
I'm sure it's you

What do you need to make it through?  We never really know the troubles that other people are facing.  We can sense that something is wrong but you might not have the nerve to gather up the courage to ask.  But sometimes, when you do have the courage to ask, you are faced with something completely left field and then you don't know how to deal with it.  It's not necessarily a bad thing - it's just not what you expected.  It's different.  It's something surprising.  Then you have to figure out how you are going to cope with any potential changes. But I guess, it's time to start thinking about living life for a change, rather than existing through it,  Learn how to feel again, especially with your heart.

Oh baby 
I know in my heart it's you
That's why I'm gonna say I do
I'm sure it's you

I hope that you give yourself a second chance.  Just a chance.  Any chance.  There are too many missed opportunities, particularly in matters of the heart.  Whatever your cynics, that come in the form of well-intentioned friends, they are not responsible for living your life.  There are expectations (extremely high ones I might add) that you may have to contend with, but I'm sure that you are able to see those through and prepare yourself.  Rely on God's signs that are sure to be revealed to you in good time.  Keep relying on the unseen.  Smile wryly and sheepishly at the silly moments.  There may not be many things in your life that you may be sure of, but I know that when it comes to how my heart can feel again, I'm sure it's you. . . .

To be loved by you. . .

To be loved by you is like a breeze Like the summer rain falling through the trees Like the waves that's crashing on the seas, it's easy To be loved by you is like a song Playing in your head you can dance along Like running away with the dawn, it's easy Like flowers bloom, Like my love for you It's been a long time between blog posts. So much has happened since I last reflected about life around me through music. If you have read my blog posts before, then you would know that you are meant to play the YouTube clip (see below) while you read.  I stumbled across this new song that was released today. It's Anzac Day in Aotearoa New Zealand so it's also an opportune time to reflect on the service of our countrymen for peace in previous wars. There is something oddly familiar and comforting about this melody, this song. The whole vibe drew me in and I've always been a huge Emily King fan. Are you currently with someone who helps you feel this way? What is it lik...

Masterpiece (Mona Lisa). . .

My eyes ain't used to these rays I'm feeling exposed but I hide no more I can't hide As the sun shines on all of my glory My flaws don't look so bad at all What was I so afraid of? No matter how hard you try to hide, or try to be inconspicuous, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Trying to be lowkey when you are on high profile horizons is ridiculous. When your skills, gifts and talents thrust you into the spotlight, you know that you have a responsibility to do your best at all times, because it is no longer about you - it is about who you represent. You might be afraid that your failures and trauma, including your human flaws will all be on display for the world to see - but who has not lived an imperfect life? Why are we afraid of being exposed? Society teaches us to conform and be uniform. Sometimes all we need to do is insist on being comfortable with all our decisions, no matter where they lead us or where we were placed - because our flaws aren't as...
