Wow, its been a while since I posted and I am sorry - so much has happened that I wish I had taken the time to post something - it could have even possibly cheered me up.. In all honesty, I've been pretty down and especially overwhelmed lately. Because of that I didn't want to post at all - I only wanted to post when I was in a good mood. What made me change my mind however, is that a while back, I had posted on my facebook status a quote reading "Your presence is a present to the world". I mostly posted it as a reminder to myself and I thought maybe other people would like it as well. Just yesterday, however, an old friend messaged me about how that quote touched her, not only because of what she was going through, but because one of her friends committed suicide earlier. She also said that she wished she had said that quote to her friend, that maybe hearing it would have changed things... I sympathized with her and gave as much comfort and support I could, of course. But what I realized is that sometimes even sharing our disappointments or troubles, helps others. Perhaps being able to relate makes people feel less lonely and instead more understood. Also, sharing how you cheer up yourself could even help others cheer themselves up.
I can honestly say that just writing this, admitting that I was feeling down, but realizing how much worse things could be, allows me to be thankful and that cheers me up! :) & if it cheers anyone up also, then that's a bonus!
I wish everyone all the best!
