Good Morning Sweetlings, Beautiful Monsters and Fabulous Disasters. In this world of chaos, I am just a tiny part of a system. I am what most would consider, a nobody, insignificant in anything I may do or say. Nothing I do will change anything in this world, so why bother to try

When others attack, they are often quick to point out how insignificant I am, how that I will never amount to anything and because I am poor, not famous or work my self to the bone for likes and retweets. They use that to dismiss my opinions.

They claim that because person X has money, fame or clout, that their opinion is all that matters. That what they do is for the good of all, that they obviously know what's right because they have 'MADE' something of themselves.

What they fail to take in to account, that many of these folks who have 'MADE' it, have done so through underhanded, nefarious, exploitive and selfish ways.
They have used and abused others to gain the position that others seem to think gives them a bigger soapbox than us normals

People know that's not who I am, I don't use others to gain a position of power, I don't seek ways to take control through underhanded ways. I'm not here to abuse, to step on others to climb to some imagined higher position, just to claim that I have 'MADE' it

I don't seek fame, I don't seek vast amounts of monetary wealth (not that I am adverse to a few extra £) I refuse to step on the hands of others so that I may somehow reach the top.

I'm OK with where I am in life, I have my problems, I have my difficulties, I'm certainly not perfect. My mental health is not the best, I carry a darkness within me that often is the cause of conflict in my life. I'm a bundle of anxieties, I get sad and afraid.

I am full of chaos and whimsy, some would say I am verging on the borders of insanity. I have come to realise, that my life now is rich and full. I have the support of my family, my friends and my lover. I am lucky, I survived, I am relatively safe.

I have a lifetime of experiences, similar but not the same to others. But I would never claim to know what is best, that my life is more valid or my opinion has more value. I often offer advice and support, never claiming to know the answer.

I am a nobody, a small part of a vast machine. To 99% of this world I am nothing, insignificant and without value.
You know what, I'm ok with that!
I love you, yes you who have read all this. You are the 1% who understands that this world is not about fame, or vast wealth.

It's not about the constant grind for approval, or the constant struggle for the only opinion that matters.
Life is for living, for trying to be the best version of you that is possible. To use what you have to help who you can. To build bridges and create opportunities.

Thank you for everything you do, for the lives that you share. Thank you for your love, unconditionally given. Thank you for being a light in the darkness, even the smallest of which can burn the brightest in times of need.

Thank you to those who quietly live their lives in peace, thank you to those that stand and fight. You are all unique and beautiful. Thank you to those that remind me that it's ok to just be me.
May the joy and love of others reach your heart and minds today.

Love

Noomi 💙💜😍
