Mrs Shepherd: moments, silence and the places in between..

There are moments in our lives that shape us.

moments where we can sit and ponder and really see how they defined us as people.

And then there are the in between moments..

maybe they are the time wasting moments who knows really...

There is a lyric in a song that i favour at the moment and it says..

"If i could have it back...all of the time that i've wasted, i'd waste it again" "waste it again and again and again"

And this hits me right to my core. because despite all those so called MAGIC MOMENTS that shape and define us..

there is a beauty, a silence a resting place.

Like just laying in the sun, watching your kids secretly...or maybe for some people...inventing new ironing techniques!

just being who you are with no judgement feet up or fetal position.

I trully believe if i could have it back, I WOULD waste it again and again..moments especially where i was just sitting with friends thinking boy am i wasted...

(probably not the best life choice at the time)

but it was the in between

and these are as important

as those defining wonderful moments.

I had terrifying, terrible things happen in the in between.

But i have also had a peace and a beauty.

So i guess my point is remember the big moments the amazingly huge life changing moments, the defining moments..but do try to be kind to yourself and remember the in between, the small beautiful sun through your partners beard singing on a dumb road trip, laughing at having spinich in your teeth and talking to strangers...jogging into your ex boyfriend, Drinking a cup of tea and contemplating, yelling when your hormonal,crying at ads on tv or even just crying because well you hurt...baking your first batch of scones and so much more

these make us complete, wholesome and more than anything they make us human x
