there’s sometimes in life when something just shakes your foundations… when you hear or see something takes you by surprise and all of a sudden you find yourself standing in a place of insecurity and uncertainity. when you’re unsure of whether the person you see in the mirror is the true you, or if the reflection which the people around you see is the true you. when you try to make people happy and make yourself miserable. when your just trying hard and it’s just not good enough. when simple things become complicated. when things you say are taken the wrong way. when you realise people think the worst of you, even when all you want to do is make them proud. sometimes i get confused as to what people see when they look at me. and it makes me wonder – is the person i see myself as actually who i am? or am i looking at myself through rose-coloured glasses and is what others say about me the truth?

One day every voice will become silent – both the voices of others and the voices of our own expectations. The only voice that will last the years is a beautiful one – the one that sometimes seemed so clear, other times seemed so distant. Yet we the know the Voice. It’s like an intimate stranger. It makes us afraid and yet embraces us at the same time. It instills fear and yet lavishes friendship. That Voice is all that’s ever mattered and ever will. And that is the Voice that says, ‘Sarah, you’re my child with whom I am well pleased.’ You don’t need to go any further. You can rest there.
