Reasons we're beautiful.

Post by Neviah » Fri Oct 13, 2006 8:32 am

1). We see the world in all it's colours, not just black and white.
2). We know what it's like to hurt and can build our strength on that.
3). We are all here for one another through the tough times.
4). We do not judge people for their feelings.
5). We care

6). We will listen to anyone, whatever they've got to say, because we understand how important that is.
...then one day I realised that the people you see in waiting rooms and car parks and on trains are really far more interesting. That they all have whole novels inside them, a fabric of scar tissues, photos and memories. They are comedies and tragedies and - more often - both at the same time.

7). We have all hurt, and so can understand when others say they're hurting
8). We don't judge others on any mental illnesses.
9). We are greatful when we experience happiness - we don't just take it for granted.

What a great thread :blush:

:star: We have patience and tolerance for other people.

You learn from the journey and trying to get where you want to go. Actually arriving is not what it's all about.

In Which Something Oooh Occurred

And it felt like a winter machine that you go through and then you catch your breath and winter starts again, and everyone else was springbound. And when I chose to live, there was no joy, it's just a line I crossed. I wasn't worth the pain my death would cost, so I was not lost or found....But when you live in a world, well, it gets in to who you th ought you'd be. And now I laugh at how the world changed me. I think life chose me after all.

:star: We all possess mental fortitude: "That strength or firmness of mind which enables a person to encounter danger with coolness and courage, or to bear pain or adversity without murmuring, depression, or despondency; passive courage; resolute endurance; firmness in confronting or bearing up against danger or enduring trouble.

:star: We try really hard to recognize the things that make us beautiful, because it's important for us to find the resolve to fight for ourselves.
"I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest film. No lies whatsoever. I thought I had something so simple to say. Something useful to everybody. A film that could help bury forever all those dead things we carry within ourselves. Instead, I'm the one without the courage to bury anything at all. When did I go wrong? I really have nothing to say, but I want to say it all the same." -Federico Fellini's 8 1/2
