This is quite sad isn’t it? The end?



The way I see it, if something makes you sad when it ends, it must have been pretty wonderful when it was happening. Truth be told, I always felt it a bit lazy to just think of the world as sad, because so much of it is. Because everything ends. Everything dies. But if you step back, if you step back and look at the whole picture, if you're brave enough to allow yourself the gift of a really wide perspective, if you do that, you'll see that the end is not sad. It's just the start of the next incredibly beautiful thing.

@freshhead @MrsCranky whatever has happened on another thread, stop derailing this one - it's unfair to the user that created it and for the people that post on it!

I think it’s more how you interpret ‘I will not stay silent anymore’
This is how victims of abuse feel.
Which is why I don’t see that quote as much of a laughing matter.

It is true. Not silent so much. For me, my phrase has become 'I will not be bullied by you anymore'.

My quote although I think I've shared it before and is actually part of a poem is:

May came home with a smooth round stone, as small as the world and as large as alone.
Whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It's always ourselves that we find in the sea.

I also like « No-one can make you feel inferior without your consent » which is something Eleanor Roosevelt said, I believe.

I really hate that one. To me it just comes across as victim blaming. Somebody makes you feel bad about yourself, but it's 'your fault' for 'allowing' them too.

Look after your own lawn instead of cultivating anyone elses. Don't chase butterflies. Look after your own garden and the butterflies will come eventually. Love MrsC xxxx

You always get better advice from the conman than the dupe. That is so true

My heart has been burnt, broken, beaten up and shattered, bit if you have the courage to love after all that you deserve a love deeper than the ocean
