How to close the gap of longing

No matter what your achievements are, your work does matter: well done! Photo by Бодьсанал Boogie on Unsplash

This endless longing

Not a word

Not a gesture

Not a gift

Can fill the gap

Not a well done

Not a thumbs up

Not an ice cream

Can make it heal

The moments of hearing you should have done better

The moments of seeing a shaking head

and hearing a desperate sigh

Have created a gap

Not enough

words of appreciation

Not enough

gestures of admiration

Never a celebration

however small

showing you’ve done a great job

They would have given you the confidence to keep trying

To show your hard work

and talk about it with a smile

without longing for

a word

a gesture

a gift

telling you

you’re doing great

however small

Thank you for reading,

PS Good to know:

The magic ratio is 5:1

To happily deal with one negative, it’s good to see/hear/taste five positives

Fun fact: encouraging smiles, nods, and small words like ‘wow!’ count as positive. So, it’s simple! ❤

Bye, smile, Ella
