Nobody wants to wait for little miracles (little miracles)

Nobody wants to say, "I'm feeling insecure" (feeling insecure)

It's hard to be this big when I'm feeling small (I'm feeling small)

But I will keep on trying even when I fall

So, put one foot in front of the other

One foot in front of the other

We gotta love one another

We gotta love one another

One foot in front of the other

One foot in front of the other

We gotta love one another

We gotta love one another

I don't wanna quit, beforе the miracle (beforе the miracle)

I don't wanna quit, before the miracle (before the miracle)

I don't wanna quit, before the miracle (before the miracle)

I don't wanna quit, before the miracle (before the miracle)

Nobody wants to wait for little miracles (little miracles)

Nobody wants to say, "I'm feeling so unsure" (I'm feeling so unsure)

It's hard to be this big when I'm feelin' immature

But I'm gon' keep on tryin' even when I fall (even when I fall)

So, put one foot in front of the other

One foot in front of the other

We gotta love one another

We gotta love one another

One foot in front of the other

Oh, you may not see a pot of gold

But rainbows are the sky's way of

Telling us we are enough and

If you wanna beat your chest 'cause you feel the emptiness

Go on and feel your loneliness

Go on and feel your loneliness

Then call me 'cause we're both in this

I don't wanna quit, before the miracle

I don't wanna quit, before the miracle

I don't wanna quit, before the miracle

I don't wanna quit, before the miracle (before the miracle)

I don't wanna quit, before the miracle

I don't wanna quit, before the miracle

I don't wanna quit, before the miracle

I don't wanna quit, before the miracle

So you slide to the floor

Feeling insecure

Sister of night

With the loneliest eyes

Tell yourself it's alright

He'll make such a perfect prize

But the cold light of day

Will give the game away

Oh sister, come for me

Embrace me, assure me

Hey sister, I feel it too

Sweet sister, just feel me

I'm trembling, you heal me

Hey sister, I feel it too

Along with another guy, the girl and her father are waiting for a mass public transport on the outer lane of a four-lane national road in Subic, Zambales, Philippines.

I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz

step out each morning spirit brave

say hello world; smile and wave

no matter what the day should bring

don't let your fears take hold

face the day with courage strong

always try to right a wrong

listen to the birds who sing

give smiles of warmth not cold

look your fears straight in the eye

kiss your worries and woes goodbye

look to the sky, the sea, the sun

the clouds and fields of burnished gold

see each day like a new book

a different, chapter, a different look

a page of velvet vellum softly

cushioning with kindness all that's told

the wind that blows a thousand times

still brings with it the chimes

of bells and angels whispering wings

that comfort you in their heavenly folds

After I graduated school, I applied for an apprenticeship as many in my country do. I was nervous and insecure since the field I chose was very male dominated and I wasn't sure of myself. The first weeks in the office and in school were accompanied by a song, overplayed to the extreme at that time. And that song stuck. It reminds me not only to that time, but to the feeling it gave me. Wonder, hope and fantasy. And it touches a feeling we all long for and this song accompanied me through those four years, from the start to the final exams and my diploma. The feeling of you ❤

Who would have thought that a song I heard as a sixteen year old now describes perfectly a feeling in 2020 😊

You - Ten Sharp

It's alright with me as long as you are by my side,

talk or just say nothing, I don't mind your looks never lie.

I was always on the run, finding out what I was looking for and

I was always insecure, just until I found

Words often don't come easy, I never loved to show you the inside of me oh no my

You were always patience, dragging out what I tried to hide

I was always on the run, finding out what I was looking for and

I was always insecure, just until I found

You you were always on my mind, you, you're the one I'm living for

You, you're my everlasting fire, you're my always shining star.

Nights always are good friends, a glass of wine and the lights down low.

You lying beside me, me full of love and filled with hope

I was always on the run, finding out what I was looking for and

I was always insecure, just until I found

You you were always on my mind, you, you're the one I'm living for

You, you're my everlasting fire, you're my always shining star.

I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best

“Dread is an expression of our insecurity in this earthly life, a realization that we are never and can never be completely “sure” in the sense of possessing a definitive and established spiritual status. It means that we cannot any longer hope in ourselves, in our wisdom, our virtues, our fidelity. We see too clearly that all that is “ours” is nothing, and can completely fail us. In other words, we no longer rely on what we “have,” what has been given by our past, what has been required. We are open to God and to his mercy in the inscrutable future and our trust is entirely in his grace, which will support our liberty in the emptiness where we will confront unforeseen decisions. Only when we have descended in dread to the center of our own nothingness, by His grace and His guidance, can we be led by Him, in His own time, to find Him in losing ourselves.”

- Thomas Merton from The Climate of Monastic Prayer

This is a hard place to grow in. Stones and bushes cover the soil.. This is the Mediterranean, not the Black Forest. I was planted here with other olive trees in a cluster, so that humans can take all my fruits to give some taste to their food. My tree mates ignore me, they think I'm a freak. You see, olive trees are supposed to be tough. They can live up to 500 years or even longer when they don't get planted, like me. It won't be my case at all. Take a look at my trunk, it's skinny and strange. My fate started in the right direction, but something happened, and I could no longer control it . I reached a point where I had doubts. Wondering if that was the path I was supposed to take, I turned to the right. Then I looked up and couldn't see my trunk. I panicked. Desperately, I turned to the left to find my way again. That was hard. It took a lot of strength and willpower that I don't have. Finally, I saw my trunk and realized I had to grow upwards. I'm doing well now, but I'm still a weirdo. I need Tree Therapy, though. It’s all because of my insecurity, you know.

Le monochrome exalte chaque frisson de peur, capturant le désarroi pur sur le visage bouleversé de la jeune femme.

Ses yeux grands ouverts semblent chercher en vain une échappatoire, alors que l’ombre la cerne, la referme dans un vertige d’impuissance.

La lumière crue, loin d’apporter le moindre apaisement, accentue encore la détresse, exposant l’intimité d’une angoisse qui submerge et isole.

Ici, la vulnérabilité n’a plus de refuge : tout, dans l’expression, exprime l’urgence, le choc et la solitude face au danger.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Monochrome amplifies every tremor of fear, seizing upon the raw distress flooding the young woman’s face.

Her widened eyes search desperately for escape, yet darkness encloses her, trapping her in a dizzying sense of helplessness.

The harsh light brings no comfort. Instead, it magnifies her anguish, exposing the intimacy of a suffering that overwhelms and isolates.

Here, vulnerability finds no shelter: in every expression, urgency, shock, and solitude are laid bare in the face of danger.

Insecure - Confident - Cheerful

which one are you?

This is a close-up HDR photo of the intriguing details in a piece of tried out kelp that I held up to the light during a walk at the coast.

The work of seconds with a bolt cropper and someone's treasured bike is gone.

Nobody sees anything. It's a shame.

Corollary - use a U bolt lock, or tie a wolverine to the frame if you leave your bike for even a few minutes.

"Crawling in my skin

These wounds, they will not heal

Fear is how I fall

Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface

Consuming, confusing

This lack of self control I fear is never ending

Controlling

I can't seem

To find myself again

My walls are closing in

(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced

That there's just too much pressure to take)

I've felt this way before

So insecure.. "

You made me insecure to me I wasn't good enough

But who are you to judge when you're a diamond in the rough

I'm sure you got somethings you'd like to change about yourself

But when it comes to me I wouldn't wanna be anybody else...

I'm no beauty queen I'm just beautiful me

You've got every right to a beautiful life

Come on...

Who says: who says you're not perfect

Who says: you're not worth it

Who says: you're the only one that's hurting

Trust me that's the price of beauty

Who says you're not pretty, who says your not beautiful...

Trioplan 2.8/100 II

Today I met Mariano and it's been one of the most gratifying experiences I've had.

I was feeling quite insecure at the time to aproach to him like a totally unknown, but I believe the best thing you can do with fear is facing it, so I bought two cans of beer and I offered him one of them.

I sat by his side and we started an interesting conversation.

Mariano is alcoholic, which is the principal cause of his suffering. He lives in the street for twenty years now, he is seventy years old nowadays. This rough life gave him several injuries from which he might never recover. He´s got 13 nails on one operated leg and a broken knee on the other one, therefore he needs the help of a crutch to walk the few steps that separate his sleeping place to his begging corner, just twenty meters away. Due to his movility problems, he past the wholes summertime in the same plaza. In October, social workers will come to take him to the hostel where he sleeps until the heat comes back.

He told me a funny anecdote: the alcohol is forbidden in the hostel, so he needs to buy it on tiny pocket bottles. He's normaly using eye drops for his vision problems, and when, one day, he asked the nurse to put his eye drops for him, she neerly dropped alcohol on his eyeballs. Then she confiscated his stash.

Mariano afirms that he who lives in the street is because he wants to. He also says to unlike the 95% of the homeless he knows.

His sanity and the coherence of his speech seems amazing to me. I thanked his time and conversation, letting him know that I learnt a lot from him. " From everybody we learn" was his answer.

--

Hoy he conocido a Mariano, y ha sido una de las experiencias más gratificantes que he tenido. Tenía una gran inseguridad a la hora de acercarme a un total desconocido como él, pero creo que lo mejor que puedes hacer ante un miedo es enfrentarlo, así que fui a comprar dos latas de cerveza y le ofrecí una de ellas.

Me dejó sentarme a su lado y empezamos una interesante conversación.

Mariano es alcohólico y esa es la principal causa de todos sus males. Vive en la calle por ello desde hace 20 años y ahora tiene 70. Esta mala vida le ha hecho sufrir varias lesiones importantes de las que nunca se curará; tiene 13 clavos en una pierna operada y la rodilla de la otra pierna partida, por lo que debe ayudarse de una muleta para andar los pocos pasos que recorre desde el lugar donde duerme al lugar donde se sienta a pedir dinero, a tan solo 20 metros.

Se ha pasado el verano entero sin moverse de esa plaza dados sus problemas de movilidad. En el mes de Octubre, le vendrán a buscar para llevarle como todos los años al albergue donde duerme hasta que vuelve el calor.

Me ha contado una divertida anécdota: El alcohol no está permitido en el albergue, así que tiene que comprarlo en pequeñas botellas de bolsillo. Como suele llevar colirio por sus problemas de visión, al pedirle a la enfermera del albergue que lo cogiese esta no solo casi le echa las gotas de alcohol en el ojo, sino que se lo confiscó.

Mariano asegura que quien vive en la calle es porque quiere, y dice también que un 95% de las personas que viven en ella no le caen bien.

Resulta asombrosa su cordura y la coherencia de sus palabras. Le he agradecido mucho su tiempo y su conversación, haciéndole saber también que he aprendido mucho de él. “De todo el mundo se aprende” ha sido su respuesta.
