> Thank you. I'm putting that in my heart, pinkeye. It's there, forever. Sometimes I may not be able to access it, but some part of me will remember, will know, that I'm capable of being a beautiful human being ... beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I'm capable of seeing great beauty in others ... because it's in me. That's what you just did, Pinkeye.. think about it ....
Thanks for the compliment :-)But there is perhaps one thing more which you should know.. however beautiful a person is basically, the person needs support and role models and inspirations to actualize it.. So actively seek out people who are good, who are beautiful themselves, and seek guidance and assistance and associations with them. We all need that to be beautiful ourselves. Trust in God goes a long way in giving that to ourselves when we don't find people around to give that support. I didn't believe in God myself 4 - 5 years back. But then I realized there is something to be gained from that belief, and I cultivated that belief in myself.
So is reaching out and helping other people. We do it, because it helps us remain good and believe in our own worth in the worst of times.
It is like a stalk has the capability to grow into a beautiful rose plant, but it needs fertilizers and adequate care and the right environment. Without all these, it will just remain a wood stick.. Go keep giving yourself the best of chances to grow and that will carry you through.
