The best gift in my life is my life. The second best is you witnessing it.
We have a built-in camera that records exactly what we see but translating our pictures into words has always been a technological challenge. We all see the same thing but translate it differently.
We can’t always explain ourselves to ourselves let alone explain ourselves to anyone else.
We are desperately hoping our parents, family and friends will acknowledge us, but they too are busy looking for someone else to witness their life. Imagine what would happen if you and everyone else stopped looking to others and started to acknowledge your own life.
