Here is a song I wrote called ‘Nothing can tear us apart’. The lyrics speak for themselves. With Reamonn Bateman on guitar and Andi Haugen on the ukulele. Thank you to both of you. And me singing 🙂 Enjoy.

It didn’t occur to me to do a post about me haha up until today, 3 months down the line 🙊. So I am going to answer 5 interesting questions I googled online so you can understand the person I am today slightly better. Here goes..authentic Mirandaness ✌️

1.When was the last time I told myself “I love you”?

Hmmm… I don’t feel the need to say this because I just think its weird.. however I do believe in self loving. Treating my physical body with kindness as well as my emotional and mental well being is a constant battle I strive to achieve in my day to day living. It’s tough and sometimes I am my own worst enemy. Though on a bigger scale, I believe being healthy and active is a plus toward our wellbeing. On top of that, relationships act like mirrors. Good energy reflects off positive interaction with those around. I believe we need each other in order to feel self worth, and loved.

2. Am I a better person today, than I was yesterday?

That is hard to say. I struggle with the word ‘better’..maybe because I have quite low expectations of myself. In all honesty.. I am just me. I am who I am and I don’t think I know how to be ‘better’. I could say challenges have led me to become more self aware of my own limits and have structured the way I look toward my own life and what I can offer to the world…I suppose, maybe?

3. Is the life that I am living the life I want to be living?

Yes and no. For me there is often two sides of the coin. When it comes down to big questions like this one, I am hesitant to give a straight answer. Yes..because there is so much to life. It is like a bag of pick’n’mix. The passions and the hobbies I have, I genuinely enjoy because it fulfils me and brings out a good part of me. And no…because I fear failure. This stops me from stepping out of my comfort zone which in turn affects my mood and self esteem. I like to play it safe. But I know I should believe in myself more. And this is something I’m trying to do…

4. Who is that one person I can talk to about just anything?

My eldest sister Miwha. She is amazing. I cannot put into words how amazing she is. She lives in Berlin with her husband and two daughters. She has lived there around 8 years or so, and she has been my angel in the skies. Her wisdom, her clarity, understanding and empathy all tied into one big ball of love has a strong impact on me through wired technology of Skype and Wattsapp calls. It is because of her, I have managed to keep my head above water in times of need. I am grateful and I love her so much.

5. What has my heart and intuition been telling me that I might be ignoring?

That I can be happy with what I have and I shouldn’t dwell on the things I don’t have. To just be Miranda. The Miranda who doesn’t need to be someone she is not. To have faith every day can be a good day, if I want it to be. Living shouldn’t be seen as a chore to tick all the boxes, but should be treated like a box of chocolates, you never know which one you are going to get 🙂 Be present. And be kind to thyself.

Hello everyone, I hope you are enjoying my blog as much as I am enjoying sharing my thoughts, poetry, photos with you. I never thought I would be able to keep a certain degree of consistency with my blog, regarding ideas of what to write about. I see my blog as a companion that is always there to register my thoughts and nuggets of inspiration, outwardly displaying them to you all. I guess it does take a bit of courage to reveal personal things, exposing vulnerable sides to me. But I do so with the intent to show life is hard not just for me but for many others. I want to empathise, help, encourage, and shed light upon the ups and the downs I go through, hoping you can resonate with them in whatever shape or form. And if not, then that is okay, I hope you are enjoying my blog 🙂 I am not doing this blog only for myself, I want to do it for you all. And it has been a pleasant journey so far. Thank you for being a part of it.

Also if you have any poem/song ideas or thoughts you would like me to write about on my blog, I welcome them 🙂 You can message me via my email http://www.mimijhanna89@gmail.com

God Bless you all ❤
