There's a dream in your eyes Reflecting what's in front of you It's blinding but it's in you There's a world on the tip of your tongue A taste lingering on your lips A feeling on your fingertips You know you're on the cusp of something when you can almost taste it.  Nobody else can help you reach your goals, except for you.  There will be a tidal wave of support coming your way, but it is a journey of self-discovery that you must embark on alone, just how it is.  What dream do you have in your eyes?  What do you see reflecting in front of you?  It may be hard for you to keep your eyes on the prize but if you don't tell people what you are going through and what you are trying to achieve, then they won't know what they need to do in order for you to push through. The enormity of what you have to deliver may continue to be a challenge because there are distractions that pop up and threaten to take you away from the priorities that you have built upo...

I'm saying sorry in advance 'Cause this won't always go to plan Though we don't mean to take our love for granted It's in our nature to forget what matters When people start apologising in advance, it's the beginning of the tip of the iceberg, the surest sign that you are in for a rollercoaster ride of a relationship.  When people start to tell you all the bad things about themselves, the flaws that may not seem so obvious on the surface, it's a surefire signal to be cautious, to maybe at least back off and reconsider whether you are a fool rushing in or an angel who fears to tread.  The more you plan, sometimes it doesn't necessarily go to plan.  We need to actually plan for the unplanned - that's most likely the only thing you can plan for.  Who among you has taken love for granted?  We have ideas about what we think love is all about and how it should work out.  Have you forgotten what matters to you?  Do we need to be reminded of what is mis...

When explanations make no sense When every answer's wrong You're fighting with lost confidence All expectations gone The time has come to make or break  Move on, don't hesitate Breakout Have you reached your breaking point? Is it time for you to breakout? You can be involved in situations or scenarios where it doesn't matter what explanations may be offered, whatever kind of rationale is put forward - it may make sense to you, but not to anyone else.  What is the right explanation for anything these days?  The last thing you want to do is have an argument with someone and lose your confidence in mid fight, not because their points make more sense than yours, they're just louder at speaking up, I mean, they're practically shouting really.  That's all it is.  Just volume.  Lots of it.  Whether you can have any expectations that are reasonable or not - you suddenly find that they disappear.  Maybe things weren't quite what they seemed in the...

In the night, in the middle of the day I call you over but you always hesitate  You used to tell me we should leave it up to fate Now I know that I don't ever have to wait It has been a long time between blog posts.  It is often hard to find yourself in the right frame of mind to write, even recreationally.  But today's blog post isn't for recreational purposes, but definitely, one that's needed for therapeutic purposes.  Have you met someone before who is seemingly all about the freedom of life, about making choices that have no consequences?  Or maybe they just conveniently forget how friendships or relationships are meant to play out?  If you have ever been in a relationship where you don't know where you stand or you just think - is this what I signed up for or not?  Why do people hesitate?  Why do people act?  Does fate decide when to ruin things or lead them to a natural conclusion? Close my eyes let down my hair I'm thinki...

Dear brother - an open letter to a brother who needs to read this. . .  Hearts of fire creates love's desire Take you high and higher to the world you belong Hearts of fire creates love's desire High and higher to your place on the throne Have you met someone whose heart sets yours aflame?  It's a pretty rare experience.  Whether the sparks fly instantaneously or it starts as a slow burn that builds to a larger fire, there is never a right place, nor a right pace for hearts of fire to ignite, or how quickly or slowly in terms of pace, it just happens.  The introduction of this song makes it easy to remember. I mean, it's one of those songs with a distinctive opening.  But mind you all of Earth Wind and Fire 's music is like that, carefully crafted songs that fully utilise all of the instruments in the band.  Which world do you belong to?  Are you carried high and higher to where you can see everything?  It's still important t...

Dear sister - an open letter to a sister who needs to read this. . .  Wish I could, I could've said goodbye I would've said what I wanted to Maybe even cried for you If I knew it would be the last time I would've broke my heart in two Tryin' to save a part of you You shared this song with me because you know that we have a shared journey.  We are part of a club that nobody wishes to join, no married woman in her right mind anyway. Yes, it's the widows club.  I met your lovely mother at an event the other week and you wanted me to know if I had told her that I was a friend of yours.  It was funny because I did tell her that I was a friend of yours.  She wanted to know how we were connected so I told her.  That we had lost our husbands in the same year.  In a matter of a month I believe.  I know you never got a chance to say goodbye to your husband when he passed away.  I was very fortunate that I did get a chance to say goodbye to mi...

Dear friend - an open letter to a friend who needs to read this. . .  There's no time for us There's no place for us What is this thing that builds our dreams Yet slips away from us? Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever? We haven't seen each other in a long time and life does that sometimes.  It throws obstacles and other experiences in your paths that take you away from chances to be in each other's presence again.  There are many things that you want to tell me and yet you can't seem to tell me.  Which is funny because further conversations can't really be had until you can tell me about what has happened to you in your past so that I can understand what you are in right now.  There is no specific time for us or no specific place.  We can only grab at chances and opportunities and places that seem to work while we wait for other more acceptable means to take place.  We can often ask ourselves what thing builds our dreams an...
