    I didnt post as a response to anyone but merely to open everyones eyes. I love mse and espcially this crew and many I follow off daily chat but sometimes I wish people would repect themselves and what they have done more. Its easy to say I am x, y and z thats all negative than to sit down and say ok I am still work in progress but I am good at/achived x, y and z. I see it all to often in real life and now its becoming more apprent here on these boards, and its breaking my heart. Everyone had flaws, no one is perfect but maybe we should start celebrationing what we are/what we do instead of turning everything into a negative :confused:

    This post shows just how far some people grow.....

    PAP I think if you had seen into the future 2 years ago and seen this post written by you, I don't think you would ever have believed it.

    You have always been a great person but you have grown so much in confidence over the last couple of years. It is lovely to see.

    I have had a difficult time lately and being able to come on here and just whinge a little helps so much...I know you lot don't take it to heart and give me a hug or a gentle slap now and then.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I'd lynch the builder. Failing that, hide the teabags!

    And on the pretending, all of us pretend sometimes, whether to get us through that moment, or as a constant facade to stop the world seeing how truly mental and !!!!ed up we really are (is living in the second group) The only person who sees me without the mask is Pint, as other people would think I'm needing to be in a room with padded walls. And you guys, but I do try to keep my many weirdnesses in.

    No-one fails at anything, you're just not as successful (and it may not even be your fault) but everytime you think you fail, you've actually learnt something new, thereby making yourself stronger and better.

    Spud, when you met us lot, did you think of anyone 'Hmmm, not really interested in her, she's a bit fat and not very glam'?


    Edit: And was it me?? :rotfl:


    No I didnt care what any of you looked like. I have no idea how the heck I ever managed to pluck up the courage to come along to that meet you know :o

    Maybe I'll just have to meet her somewhere they have big potted plants to hide behind :rotfl:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Linda, I'll be singing all the songs I can remember the words to. I'm loving Thursday lectures, the lecturer is ever so slightly on the mad side :D
