The best part of me...

I love reading, listening and viewing the messages of artists. Whether it's a great movie, beautifully created meal (yes I was one of the 3.7 million Masterchef viewers), or meaningful lyrics in a song, I find it fascinating to think of the underlying meaning of a message.

A recent song I have been listening to, BreakEven (by Irish band The Script) has a great line that really got me thinking.

'What am I supposed to do,
when the best part of me was always you?'

The song is about breaking up, and that it never is an even, clean break, but this particular line got me thinking; aren't all the best parts of us from others?

I talked to Alison about this last night and asked her, 'What are the best parts of you?' Her reply was instant. 'Being a loving partner and a mum.'

One facet of the best of Alison (there are lots more if you ask me!) is because of the people in her family. When you think about it, the best parts of any of us are because of the people around us. In your situation, are you a great sister, a great brother, a great friend? What else are you great at?

One of my great strengths is assisting people understand their emotions and feelings. This magnificent gift I am blessed with is only because of others who have modeled and demonstrated this to me throughout the twists and turns of my life.

To answer the question posed...

'what am I supposed to do,
when the best part of me was always you?'

...the answer is quite simple. Thank the people around you. Without them we are less than...

kind regards,

Darren and Alison
