Space

Today, I was asked how I switch between the various roles I play in my professional and personal life.

For one, the “I am” you see at work is the “I am” at home.

If an individual from my personal life runs into an individual from my professional life, they would find more common ground than surprises when describing me.

I have sometimes shown family members results of my 360 degree assessments and personality profile tests. The response is always same – “They know you.”

I am thankful for the gift of spaces to be fully me.

Humanity

We are chained to a past we were not even present in.

In a strange case of Stockholm syndrome, we live with our abuser, for the abuser looks like us.

We fight alternatives out of ego and pride, and hold on out of fear.

An endless loop of being and living no better than our limited memories.

We look out for a saviour, but we destroy whoever dares.

Past trauma is the unifying flag of our tribe.
