Rooms

There are very few places where we can do that anymore.

We carry our roles everywhere.

After a while, we can become so used to carrying all of it that we forget what it feels like to simply be ourselves.

I call it ‘Rooms’ a place where for a little while, you don’t have to.

You don’t have to impress anyone or be the successful version of yourself.

You can just come as you are.

And perhaps say something you have been carrying for a long time.

I believe something happens when people become honest in the same room.

One person opens up.

Someone else recognises themselves in it.

Another person says something they had never thought about before.

And suddenly, without anyone teaching anyone anything, something begins to unfold.

Because it is easy to have a beautiful conversation and then return to the same life the next morning.

I don’t want that.

I want something from the room to follow you home.

Something should move.

Even if it is small.
