I am not a user of big words, I don't feel the need to dress my stories or opinions up. I speak from my heart, from my own experiences and I am well aware, that there is much I still don't know.
I follow my gut on most things and if something doesn't feel good, then I don't do it. There are often times, when I sit with things to see if my opinion or feelings will in fact change. But first impressions mean a lot to me.
But like everyone else, my ego sometimes rares its head and I need to take some time to reel myself back in.
I am human afterall.
There is a part of me, that struggles to listen to people who try to tell me that they know, how certain things work in life for everyone, as though life itself is set in stone, as if everything is understood.
That we have to accept the way in which they think, or the people who they believe, think. There are so many theories flying around, so many explanations. Which could be true for some, but for all? That's quite a huge leap of faith for me.
Yes, we are so similar in ways, but we are also so different in others. Each one of us an individual, reacting to life in different ways and yet we are meant to believe that we all experience certain things the same way.
Maybe we do, maybe we don't. Life is full of mysteries. I personally don't feel the need to understand them, for me it is important to just embrace them.
Otherwise we can get caught up in the quest to know and miss out on actually living. In having real life experiences, making real connections. There is a big difference, between theory and practice.
I want to feel things, more than understand them.
To act from my heart and not always be so in my head, trying to intellectualise everything. I guess we have schools to thank for this desire to know everything, believing we need to understand everything, in order to be enlightened.
But to me, feeling is more important. For me, the truth of who I am, is something I need to feel. Not necessarily understand. But we are all different and this is what feels right for me, I'm not here to tell anyone what they should feel or what they should do. That's not my way. That is their journey to live.
But then again, what do I know?
This all makes total sense to me

Love to you Vincent ❤
We humans are all different, don't ever live to impress just be yourself all times and do what you feel is best for you. Thank you for pouring your heart.
Very good advice, thank you @herbiscux xxx
I too rely on felt senses. There's more than one kind of intelligence
Yes the trees.
Big love beautiful xxxxxxx
I always think that people who seem to know how stuff works very, very firmly are actually really scared. Because it's scary to let go, and to accept that no one really knows, and all that. So I think they hold on to these beliefs out of tremendous fear, and that makes me pity them. Not seek them out, though. People like that need to be at arm's length. :)
Yeah I think you may be right. Some hide behind this need to be right, it gives them a sense of security.
Always good to read your words xxxx
Great point and I agree! It’s important to be able to live in a situation and experience it rather than try to always study, analyze and undergo the various scientific aspects of it all. We don’t need to always do that! It’s powerful to be able to live instead of calculate all the time.
Yes just experience life, rather than analysis it xxx
Not all things have to be understood; I love the concept you express of embracing things rather than trying to understand them, it's something I do too, for me sensations are important, emotions, feelings.
After all, everyone has their own journey and I believe that everyone should live it in their own way, we are not all the same and life is not the same for everyone, I don't think there are truths carved in stone but rather many different points of view and facets.
I hug you!
Yes life is for living, it's the experiences and feelings that enrich us xxxx
In as much as certain situations work out for a group of people, it can’t be the same for everyone. What if I’m the one person it wouldn’t work for yet you are trying to tell me I should go by that?
You don’t even know the things I believe in or how I want my things to go.
It’s hard to take things from people’s point of view when they can’t relate to what you are feeing
So true, I really don't like this concept that one shoe fits all xxxx
Yeah sure
