THE FLAVOUR OF LIFE🌼.
<p><br/></p><p>A friend recently shared how overwhe<span style="background-color: transparent;">lmed she had been lately.</span></p><p>A playful part of me had a funny song as a response, dancing in my head.</p><p>I thought about recording it, sending it, letting it float to her.</p><p>And then I stopped.</p><p>Because our friendship speaks humour differently, and this moment called for care, not impulse.</p><p>And in that pause, I saw something clearly:</p><p>If it were another friend, I would not have hesitated.</p><p>I would have sung, laughed, added more songs…</p><p>and then, eventually, we would talk seriously about the issue.</p><p>That pause taught me something simple: <strong>people experience us differently.</strong></p><p>Sometimes, when you see a side of a friend you’ve never known, it feels like a shock.</p><p>You pause and wonder, Is <em>this really them?</em></p><p>But maybe they’re not pretending.</p><p>Maybe you just haven’t met them in this way.</p><p>Another person has.</p><p>Another relationship has.</p><p>Another season has.</p><p>We all carry different expressions of ourselves.</p><p>Different ways of showing up.</p><p>Different faces of the same truth.</p><p>Some see every shade of us.</p><p>Some see only fragments.</p><p>Some friends notice your laughter.</p><p>Others notice your silence.</p><p>Some partners see your quiet strength.</p><p>Others hear only your words.</p><p>Even siblings experience their parents differently.</p><p>Even the same friend, years apart, may now know someone new.</p><p>The same person, at a different time, is never quite the same as before.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000799084.jpg"/></p><p><strong>Experience is not static.</strong></p><p>Life shifts you.</p><p>Shapes you.</p><p>Moves you.</p><p>And people meet us in the middle of that motion.</p><p>Every relationship, every friendship, has its own flavour.</p><p>Sometimes you move between flavours.</p><p>Sometimes, every shade of a person begins to unfold.</p><p>Sometimes, some parts remain unseen.</p><p>And that is okay.</p><p>This is life.</p><p>Shades.</p><p>Colors.</p><p>Flavours.</p><p>Layers.</p><p>Different ways of being seen.</p><p>Without these flavours, life would be flat.</p><p>Predictable.</p><p>Dull.</p><p>It’s the differences, the surprises, the unfolding, that make life rich.</p><p>That make it beautiful.</p><p>That is the real flavour of living.</p><p><em>Whatever flavour of people you get to experience, notice it. Savor it. Appreciate it. </em></p><p><em style="background-color: transparent;">Every encounter is part of their story and yours.</em></p><p><br/></p><p>Who gets to taste the full flavour of you today?</p><p>Which flavour are you sharing, and which ones are you discovering in others?</p>
