Lately I’m catching up on reading and listening to music. There have been so many beautiful words already been written. I think about it a lot; Do we still need to re-invent the wheel? Should we keep trying to improve it? Are my words adding any value to this globe? Since it feels it has/have been all said or written before. Even new reading material I come across I often find myself thinking “I’ve read that somewhere else already”, or “hmm, wrote a similar piece”.
Is it important to write or say something unique? Or is it the person, what differentiates a similar piece of art? The intention someone express his/her thoughts, does that make it worthwhile reading and/or writing, even if it is a repetition?
Although I never have writers-block, since my brain-threads are always twirling and twisting, I am questioning the purpose of my own writing these days…
A wheel which has been written by someone else, and I copied the Dutch version in a post before, however -saddening as it is – I feel the need to post it again:
Artist: Guus Meeuwis – Song: Let me have that delusion
(Free translation, since I still struggle with some English words, I hope he doesn’t mind.)
I still think it’s possible
Everyone next to each other
Sometimes I dream about it
I’m not sure how to get there
Haven’t found the key
How it works, what it does
Unshakeable confidence
I believe it is possible
To build bridges
Sometimes I dream about it
Let me have that delusion
Let me have that delusion
Let me have that delusion
….
I see the shivers around me
Always that fear
It squeezes until it breaks
Maybe I’m a little naive
Or just unworldly
But I am so in love with it
There is so much beauty
In the small happiness
A greedy desire
Don’t break this desire
Let me have that delusion
Let me have that delusion
Let me have that delusion
…..
Unshakeable confidence
I believe it is possible
To build bridges
Sometimes I dream about it
Let me have that delusion
Let me have that delusion
Let me have that delusion

I think you don´t need to come up with something new that has never been written before, because people need something to connect to and what could that be that hasn´t already been described? It´s like eating your favourite ice-cream or cake over and over again – you know there are other flavours but you come back to the one you know and love 😉 No one would say for example: “Why should I eat chocolate, I already had a piece five years ago!!!! 😉 And anyway, you write for yourself and that´s important!!! Repetition isn´t always a bad thing…
Thanks dear Sarah, for this reminder.
Big hug! XxX

It’s the connection that counts and what unites us. Not ‘new’ thoughts. I completely feel the words of Miss Gentileschi above. We share words, we share feelings. How beautiful can it be. Keep on posting, writing, thinking, bringing a beautiful group of souls together ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks dear Goose, for your support.
Big hug!
