"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." -- MLK

Success
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.


I hope that everyone here knows they are a success.

In difficult times, never lose hope. Never lose faith in the truth, In the end everything will be alright

Friends are angels who lift us up to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly

Your mind is the generator of failure and also the generator of success

remember as a man thinkith so shall he be.

My five year old, tonight-- "You have to love yourself. If you don't love yourself, you'll die."

"Hate multiplies
hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction....The chain reaction
of evil--hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars--must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of
annihilation".

Could not agree more.

I cannot lie when I say - All I seek from all of this is the mental destruction of my abusers" - It is my hate that drives me, nothing wrong with hate as long as it has a postive outcome, regardless of how it makes me feel, but then again I have often said to myslef just recently "Have I desensitised myslef to all of my abuse"? As I have written about nothing else but my abuse for nearly four a half years.

There's a big giant humongous difference. It's so important to remember that. Puts things in a whole different light.
