i had the most rotten day in the whole flipping world today, but i got this in my inbox. i know it's a chain and all, but it's the perfect thing for me. these questions are wht i've known for so long... i wish my friends knew them. i can't ask for help on my own... but maybe if you guys read this, you'll begin to understand... a little... now.
Did you know ???
*~*Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart, are really weak and most susceptible?
I am. I always prided myself on being strong for my friends, so they didn't have to be. but who will be strong for me? I've tried, Lord knows what I've had to do, but I just don't make it. I'm very weak, cracking under the lightest pressure, and I'm very susceptible. tender.
*~*Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need someone to protect them?
I don't want anybody to be vulnerable. I help other people, but I cannot help myself.
*~*Did you know that the three most difficult things to say are :
I love you, Sorry and help me
It's surprisingly hard to say I love you, even when it's not the first time. It's still very hard for me to tell Richard that I love him, and I've already said it loads of times. I think its difficulty proves its importance. as for sorry... that's not so hard. I say it almost too often... it might seem like it slides off my tongue but it comes from the bottom of my heart. I hate hurting people, even when it's only in my head.
as for help me... that is the hardest by far. i hate admitting weakness. so why am i admitting it online, where the whole world can see it? because it needs to be said.
The people who say these are actually in need of them or really feel them, and are the ones you really need to treasure, because they have said them.
*~*Did you know that people who occupy themselves by keeping others company or helping others are the ones that actually need your company and help?
Yes. please keep this in mind. I relieve other people's pain because I cannot relieve my own. I seek people out when they look like they're down because I desperately wish someone would do the same for me, and I know they desperately wish someone would come to them.
*~*Did you know that those who dress in red are more confident in themselves?
I seldom dress in red. sometimes I am genuinely confident in myself. I don't think I know anybody who dresses in red more than a few times a year.
*~*Did you know that those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy their beauty?
no wonder my favorite dress color is yellow ;)
*~*Did you know that those who dress in black, are those who want to be unnoticed and need your help and understanding?
yes... all too true... related to this is that people who draw away when they are in pain do so because they do not wish to have everyone know their weakness, but the thing they want most in the world is for someone to notice and come over, to care about them and their problem. stay forawhile, even when they say they'll be fine. you don't have to say anything. they'll begin telling you. I hide like wounded animal and sometimes I snap at people, but it's because I'm afraid. afraid that this sort of person will be one to exploit my weakness. stay anyway. fear cries out for someone to relieve it.
*~*Did you know that when you help someone, the help is returned in two folds?
One: you have helped yourself, admit it, you feel much better after helping someone else, and you can tackle your own problems that much easier.
Two: that person or someone else will help you in return. hopefully.
*~*Did you know that those who need more of you are those that don't mention it to you?
it's easy to ask for little favors. much more difficult to ask large favors. e.g., listening to troubles is a big favor.
*~*Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writing than saying it to someone in the face? But did you know that it has more value when you say it to their face?
much easier. i write Richard a lot of letters. I write on here. much more valuable face to face. so many times I don't write something that would make no sense on paper, or wouldn't have the right tone and inflection, or just needs to repartee of a face-to-face. Unfortunately, it's always soemthign that would be even worse to say over the phone, so I have to write it because it eeds to be said and we see each other so seldom.
*~*Did you know that what is most difficult for you to say or do is much more valuable than anything that is valuable that you can buy with money?
yes. please, know this.
please. don't just think of me; think of other people and yourself.
"Do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children."
for I am but a fading star, a blown dandelion, buffeted wherever the wind has its caprice.
