Name Tags

It dawned on me this morning how often I am at social gatherings feeling uncomfortable, disconnected, wishing to be invited into conversations, and watching each group of people, chatting happily, with a combination of awe, admiration and sadness. When I felt that way in the past I would hide out for years.

I’m writing this now because I know I’m not alone in this.

Perhaps name tags with authentic sentences about how you really are feeling- would be useful- like :

Worried about money & sure I’m the only one.

Regretting the food I’ve been eating recently.

Feeling overwhelmed by life.

Hating happy people.

Annoyed and ready to lose my shit.

In need of a healing hug -no pity, please.

Or perhaps some for when the opposite is present-

I’m glad to be here- how was your day?

What had you come here today?

All is well.

If you’d like to connect in some way with me- feel free to say so.

Feeling blessed.

Or any variation…….

(Those would really be great at singles events or at bars……)

Ultimately the thing to consider is that all of those phrases are thoughts –

and your thoughts are not the truth. Functioning as if they are robs you of truly divine moments.

Trust me – I know.
