I'm a little bit lost right now but don't worry I'm okay,
I'm in no hurry to find my way home.
So forgive me if I just smile knowingly at everything you say,
Becuase my dear your only here cos I don't want to be alone.
What if I was sacred, what if I was yours, would you bring me coffee sit me down make me feel secure?

Re: Words Of Wisdom
One of my favorite quotes applies here very well:
"To be nobody but my self in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make me everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting."
-e.e cummings
I collect quotes, I have so many, but that one is something that really rings true and that I can really relate to. *thinks* I think that was the quote that started my colection as a matter of fact.

"It's just not the same when you're staring into a perfect golden sunset,
And thinking about how you sold your soul to send the rain away"
-Mineral "Slower"
"And the very fear that makes you want to die
Is just the same as what keeps you alive..."
-Barenaked Ladies, "War on drugs"

Re: Words Of Wisdom
Happy the man,a nd happy he alone,
He who can call today his own;
He who, secure within, can say,
Tommorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today.

Wow, I like that a lot.
I like the starfish story. When I'm trying to make a difference, if it's by giving advice to a friend, or volunteering or whatever... I get discourged sometimes. It helps when I think of this story..
A man was walking along a deserted beach at sunset. As he walked he could see a young boy in the distance, as he drew nearer he noticed that the boy kept bending down, picking something up and throwing it into the water. Time and again he kept hurling things into the ocean.
As the man approached even closer, he was able to see that the boy was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a time he was throwing them back into the water.
The man asked the boy what he was doing, the boy replied,"I am throwing these washed up starfish back into the ocean, or else they will die through lack of oxygen. "But", said the man, "You can't possibly save them all, there are thousands on this beach, and this must be happening on hundreds of beaches along the coast. You can't possibly make a difference." The boy smiled, bent down and picked up another starfish, and as he threw it back into the sea, he replied.
"Made a difference to that one"

Re: Words Of Wisdom
"People come and go - I'm the one who stays no matter what"
no idea if I worded it right, but with this quote I mean that you should love yourself no matter what, accept yourself the way you are, change if you feel like it, but never hate or dislike yourself. Coz hating yourself you can never be strong and independent, and you can never learn to stay alone and be hapy alone, coz as I said, people come and go. I just made up this quote coz i've been through a lot in my life, I've moved a few times and always had to say goodbye to my friends, moved abroad, which was the most difficult, especially for me who had no self esteem. And if I didn't realize that (what was said in that quote), I think I'd be dead by now, of all the depression and loneliness. I lost some of my friends when they were the only ones I had who made me happy and made me feel strong.. So then I decided not to hold on to the people, but hold on to myself and learn to stay alone.. And I always had this quote in my mind

Re: Words Of Wisdom
The only person who can really make you unhappy is yourself.
I love that quote- I remember that everytime I cry (though thats not a lot which i don't think is a necessarily a good thing.. ) .. that its really just me thats making me unhappy, I don't REALLY have to let anyone else make me sad.. and that seems to help me a LOT

"I have a feeling that you're riding for some kind of a terrible, terrible fall. . . . This fall I think you're riding for-it's a special kind of fall, a horrible kind. The man falling isn't permitted to feel or hear himself hit bottom. He just keeps falling and falling. The whole arrangement's designed for men who, at some time or other in their lives, were looking for something their own environment couldn't supply them with. Or they thought their own environment couldn't supply them with. So they gave up looking. They gave it up before they ever really even got started"

A woman who strives to be equal to a man lacks ambition.
a badger who strives to be equal to a chipmonk is fighting a losing battle.

Re: Words Of Wisdom
When the world lets you down get right back up and kick it's ass.
Just be you not who others want you to be.
Don't be afraid of wicked clowns, they will rule the world.
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
Drink 'till she's cute, but stop before the wedding.
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines
When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
And one of my favorites...
"Never flick a pit bull's nutsack, even if it
looks real tempting just dangling there like that"

One minute there was road beneath us
The next just sky
Reach up
And let's propose a toast
To the thing that hurts you most

(O.o) Copy bunny into your signature to help
( <) him achieve world domination
