i am not powerful
stop trying to convince me that
there is something to live for
because at the end of the day
i have been through it all
i can see it for myself
there is nothing to be grateful for
i’d be lying if i said
things will get better
it’s true
i am worthless
nobody can tell me that
i have a purpose,
you see
i am convinced
happiness is not for me
i was told by many
things are not always as they appear to be
(now read from bottom to top)

This piece is from my book Revealing Dimensions.
Things are never as they may seem‼️
.
How many times have you had an experience and it wasn’t what you thought it was going to be but you had already predetermined what was going to happen?
.
Just because something seems a certain way doesn’t mean it really is.
.
We often go through life thinking we know what is going on. We have preconceived ideas about a situation and others, that can block us from truly experiencing the gift that the moment has for us.
.
It is important to look deeper in a given situation. Things may not be what they appear to be. Don’t let what you think you know get in the way of living with an open heart.
.
I was inspired to write this piece in my book #RevealingDimensions after my wonderful and most supportive friend @ax_af sent me a link an interview with @jayshetty on @impacttheory After watching the interview I was pumped and so many thoughts and ideas entered my mind that made me realise I am always making false assumptions and things are never as bad as I have created in my mind.

The artwork in my book is by myself. If you would like to get your hands on my book #RevealingDimensions click the link in my bio.
