Diving underwater for Air

So you may be thinking why “diving underwater for air” well, one of my inspirations,

Beau Taplin once wrote,
“settling for something
that does not make
you happy is like diving
underwater for air”.

This connected with me, there are so many times in life where you believe you are doing the right thing because you are thinking about others instead of yourself or you believe if it’s only your feelings getting hurt then it doesn’t matter, I believed this for a long time. I now know that you sometimes you have to put yourself first and do what makes YOU happy. The short pieces you are about to read or have already read, are thoughts that I kept to myself because I didn’t think they mattered or I thought they may upset certain people, or even be too emotional but I need to get them off my chest so I can breathe again.

To whoever is reading this, which maybe no one but if there is, I hope you read, relate and feel, just as I did when writing them…

thank you for your time xxx
