Learning from the Streets

Its nice that you think so; but we’re not much of a Youthwork project

 

I really don’t read that much 

 

Im not really an expert on doing youth work, not compared to…

 

The staff think that they’re never doing as much as they could do

 

Im not that much of a blogger, no, its just something I do to keep me busy

 

I just don’t think we’re doing very much, it never feels like were getting anywhere

 

I hear variants of these things alot

I say them to myself sometimes

I hear them from big projects

from clergy doing amazing community work

from youth workers on their own

from people who are being kind alongside other people

From those who always want to be even more to others

 

WHY?

 

Why do we think we’re not as

good

busy

effective

experienced

 

Why do we not think that we are enough?

because actually..

We don’t have to be experienced to be kind

We don’t have to be big to be significant

we don’t have to be anything other than be people who act with love, kindness and create places of safety, healing and hope for others.

We don’t have to be accomplished to be real

We don’t have to be anything other than ourselves

 

My friend.

You are enough.

As you are.

 

 

Its time to walk a path of loving ourselves

That we

That you

That I

am enough

Persons in process, projects in process yes… but we are still enough
