I posted this image on my Facebook page a few days ago.
I had wondrous affirmative comments which triggered my words of response below.
I am still trying to understand myself/my feelings/ my journey + the one going forward ...................
*
I am touched by your responses and I thank you. It has also made me think.
I often just post a few words online - generated by feelings - mostly.
They could be meaningless to some/all?
Sometimes to me as they are often just a tip of the iceberg in terms of thought / feelings ......... and this one …….
I suppose I was feeling that - at base I am a Youth Worker more or less than anything else.
My only qualification is a Youth & Community Diploma (at the age of 40!)
My only other certificate was for 'Swimming a breadth' at Secondary school.
It is by being a Youth Worker, since I was 15 years old, that I have learned and grown into the beautiful imperfection I am now ......... I just had to learn as I stepped into successive zones of risk & the general uncomfortable situations.
I had to change / learn to survive ...... and often that was cliff edge situations.
I have learned so much from you and so many others ........ and teenagers / young adults who have stretched me daily -
for years (and still do)
In appreciation of you - thank you for stretching me here right now & many times over many years.
