If you knew my story
Word for word,
You would understand.
Growing up
Between two worlds,
Between cultures,
Between languages,
Growing up in between.
It has defined me as I am now.
It has shown me how to look at everything.
To experience ‘being’ in more than one way.
My roots
forging two versions of the world,
Gwreiddiau
two versions of myself,
two versions of history,
two versions of culture,
two versions of values,
And when I am most true to myself,
I am most universal.
Not one or another, but
Choosing from my treasury of experience.
I am who I am because of everyone.
I witness idiosyncrasies
In everyday interaction.
Different for each of us,
Yet I recognise them,
and know they are mine as well
I am two versions of my world, for me
A balance of things, yet
We are foreign to each other,
But we fit.
This blog started as a very personal place for self expression at a difficult time in life. As time moved on, it fell to one side with the hustle bustle of daily life and being too busy and distratced doing other things! Now I feel it's time to come back to it and share it with others once again. A new title, new associations and refocussed aspirations. Mostly words but hopefully sometimes, some inspirational thoughts.
