"THOUGHT FOR THE DAY"
"Be proud of how you've been handling these past few months. The silent battles you've fought, the moments you had to humble yourself, the times you wiped your own tears. Celebrate your strength."
"Looking back... When you're looking back, only do so to take the lesson you learned, not to dwell. Be grateful for the experience even if it caused you pain, because it brought you wisdom. Be happy for the lessons for they bring blessings. Keep your eyes on the future, your being in the present, your gratitude in the NOW, and the rest, just let go."

"Beyond pitch darkness, I may not look with my eyes but I do see through my heart. I am not different; I am just a bit apart. Never seen the sunshine nor moonlight, but I aspire to inspire, to feel light beyond pitch dark. I will, outperform beyond your fathomless capacity. I do not need your sympathy, just a bit of empathy, that would help to light my way."

As I mature I have realized: Communication must be made face to face whenever possible. SMS, IM, email can never convey emotion, no matter how many smileys and emoticons you put. Never waste your time over people who don't have time for you. Face your fears. It just takes one fear; once you're over it... you can face them all.
