Not a very nice thing to do for a Brother. Sometimes I&#8217;m disappointed in myself by my own behaviour. Perhaps we all find times we dislike our choices if not our actual selves. I really want to be a better person but I don&#8217;t find it easy to go through the process of getting There. Perhaps that&#8217;s why we admire humble so much because they actually did go through the process of getting to that place. So I kind swing from one place to another in many ways. Sometimes up sometimes down and I&#8217;m trying to find a balance in between the two extremes. Yet inside I feel desperate for some change to happen. I don&#8217;t even know what that would look like but I would love to have more of something deeper in my life. Again unknown as to what that looks like. I&#8217;ve taken to writing songs again as a way of finding some depth within my soul. Heck I have no idea what I&#8217;m searching for but I keep digging in the hope I find it. In the meantime I&#8217;m trying to avoid extreme decisions or distractions. Somewhere there must be a Ballance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>we call them a sea saw in new Zealand &#8230; <a title=\"Teeter totter\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/fivetogether.nz\/?p=2810\" aria-label=\"Read more about Teeter totter\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2812,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"generate_page_header":"","iawp_total_views":3,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-posts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fivetogether.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fivetogether.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fivetogether.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fivetogether.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fivetogether.nz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2810"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fivetogether.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2810\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2811,"href":"https:\/\/fivetogether.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2810\/revisions\/2811"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fivetogether.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fivetogether.nz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fivetogether.nz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fivetogether.nz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
