Have you seen the movie “The Greatest Showman?” Even though I missed the experience watching it in the cinema I feel like I will always remember when and how I watched it. Friends invited me to their lovely home and after cooking together we watched the movie while eating (yes, more food 😊!) Belgian waffles. If you haven’t watched it so far, I would highly recommend to do so. It’s about dreams, friendship, creativity and believing in yourself. One song really touched me when I properly listened to the lyrics. It starts off quietly and you cannot only hear but feel the pain and the hurt in the voice. With each verse the song is getting stronger and more powerful. The message is loud and clear – You are worthy, you are brave and there is only one beautiful you. Don’t hide, don’t allow anyone to put you down and don’t let anyone tell you you’re not good enough to be loved. Say strongly and loudly “This is me”! “This is me” by Keala Settle I am not a stranger to the dark Hide away, they say 'Cause we don't want your broken parts I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars Run away, they say No one'll love you as you are But I won't let them break me down to dust I know that there's a place for us For we are glorious When the sharpest words wanna cut me down I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out I am brave, I am bruised I am who I'm meant to be, this is me Look out 'cause here I come And I'm marching on to the beat I drum I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies, this is me Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh Another round of bullets hits my skin Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in We are bursting through the barricades and Reaching for the sun (we are warriors) Yeah, that's what we've become (yeah, that's what we've become) I won't let them break me down to dust I know that there's a place for us For we are glorious When the sharpest words wanna cut me down I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out I am brave, I am bruised I am who I'm meant to be, this is me Look out 'cause here I come And I'm marching on to the beat I drum I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies, this is me Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh This is me And I know that I deserve your love (Oh-oh-oh-oh) There's nothing I'm not worthy of (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh) When the sharpest words wanna cut me down I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out This is brave, this is bruised This is who I'm meant to be, this is me Look out 'cause here I come (look out 'cause here I come) And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on) I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies, this is me When the sharpest words wanna cut me down I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out I'm gonna send a flood Gonna drown 'em out Oh This is me  Author: Michele Reiher, Christchurch

2020 has been hard. Sometimes it felt like it will never end and other times you might have wished it would never end. 2020 has been eye-opening in so many ways. What I have learnt: 1. It doesn't lead to happiness if you try to please everybody around you. You are more likely to lose yourself on the way. 2. You can't control what other people do and think. But you can control what you do and think. 3. Some people will come into your life for a season, a reason or a life time. 4. Use your energy and time wisely. 5. You can't change anyone; you can only change yourself. 6. Accept that you can't be loved by everyone. 7. Surround yourself with good people - people who make time for you, are listening to you, are interested in you and care about your feelings. 8. Be grateful for every single day. 9. Enjoy the moment without worrying about the future. 10. Change isn't stoppable and bad - it's necessary to grow. 11. Everything happens for a reason and every experience brings you closer to where you are meant to be. 12. You don't always get what you want but you get what you need. Life gives you lots of moments and it will all make sense at some point. You only need to believe and be patient.  Author: Michele Reiher, Christchurch
