I was thinking about all the people who touched my skin in the way I show it in this facepainting done by me. I called this one A touched soul because the touch we experience is more than skin to skin. It is soul to soul.

We often believe that people who come and go from our lives did not get the whole picture of us as a person. We crave for connection and for a meaningful relationship, but it happens to touch someone's life in a way we didn't intend to. When someone gets under your skin, you feel vulnerable. You don't understand the harm you did to others until the very thing happens to you.

You can't understand the pain of your words and actions until you're on the other side of the receiving end. You don't understand love until it's taken from you. You don't understand that someone loved you until you're with someone who loves you not. You don't grasp regret and frustration until you lose the things you once took for granted. We believe we enter someone's life and that it's only us who suffered. More than often we also caused pain, but we choose to be blind to it. Our ego tells us that it is them to blame and we are so sure the next one will be better.

Have you wondered how you might have left scars on someone, thinking you were giving a gentle touch when instead the other person felt you've put your claws into their heart? Have you wondered how would it be to apologise years later and admit the damage you've caused? Have you wondered how many souls have you touched and how many of them are still bleeding because of you? Uncomfortable questions, isn't it?

But usually everything comes back at us eventually and your soul will be touched too. Again and again. You'll get back the same touch you gave to others. Will it be a blissful caress or a sharp blade right where it hurts? I believe time will tell and the skin of the soul will show...

The facepainting started with something like this. You can see more photos during the process here
