Life would be so dull without laughter. A smile, while it may brighten a room, doesn’t have quite as strong a transformative effect as laughter. It’s good for your mood, good for your abs, good for your blood pressure, just plain good!
Escape the Void
What a powerful image. I can see this woman in her tower wondering what happened. Why did her youthful dreams not work out? What were those dreams, anyway. Like many, she can’t even remember what they may have been – she may not even remember even having any dreams. Her life is a yawning cavern waiting for something to fill it. She toils away trying to fill the void, but it’s useless because it’s all without substance.
Authenticity and Bullying
Glee has done it again. In last week’s episode, On My Way, as David Karofsky laid out his suit on his bed and tested his belt while Blaine sang Cough Syrup in the background, I bawled. The character who bullied Kurt for his overt gay self to cover up his own sexual orientation had been found out. To him, suicide seemed the only option. Thankfully he didn’t succeed.
First Love = Self Love
It is rewarding to find someone you like, but it is essential to like yourself. It is quickening to recognize that someone is a good and decent human being, but it is indispensable to view yourself as acceptable. It is a delight to discover people who are worthy of respect and admiration and love, but it is vital to believe yourself deserving of these things. ~Jo Coudert
Post Valentine Thoughts
Let’s use the passing of this day as a reminder that, no matter what happened yesterday, we are all beautiful and someone else thinks so too. Whether you have a significant other or not (or a significant other we are having struggles with), someone finds you beautiful – even on the days you don’t.
