being understood

The choir that was on before the band we had specifically gone to see sang some fab songs, one I can't locate, but this I have found:

I love the way this songs tells us how wanted each and every one of us are.

Sometimes people speak so eloquently to my heart I cry with relief that I'm understood - I think it's really important to find people who can sustain our hope in ourselves. And sometimes people say things and the feeling that no-one "gets me" is so powerfully isolating it hurts. I don't think this is just me - I think others like to feel understood too. Songs, poetry, blogs - it's great when we come across someone who communicates that they have felt something similar and we feel relief that it's not just exclusively us who feels that particular way.

Apparently I've once again listened to too many such songs on spotify and exceeded my limit. So you tube shall be my companion as I work from home this morning. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing a friend later for a cycle. Hugs.

  1. in that serendipitous way of things, when I left the house briefly it co-incided with an opportunity to walk with/listen to someone who is having a hard time. Which can help keep things in perspective for me. Or have me feeling even worse for struggling so much when I've got so little to complain about - it could go either way I find. But I shall try and tip myself the more positive way of counting my blessings. Thankfully I'm going out to work now for the whole afternoon - it's easier to not dwell on feeling sad when I'm "out there"

  2. 16 miles and such a fantastic feeling of liberation, being out on a bike exploring areas I've not been to before and having a friend reassure me I'm not terrible after all - yay :D
