It Gets Better.
i was on twitter today stalking the amazing Jane Espensom and in one of her tweets she posted this video. In it Tim Gunn talks about being bulled as a teen and feeling different and alone. He talks about his own experiences and how he tried to take his own life.
there are also several segments i will post here from Larry King Live where he and other celebrities speak out against the bulling. . It just breaks my heart. i cant help crying when i watch these videos . they are so important to see so i'm posting them here. the interviews are also to promote something called the Trevor project.It's a suicide hotline. I will also post some other organisations for some info on them for people interested.
if you know of anyone who is being bulled or feels alone in the world i beg you to reach out to them. if you feel like that i want you to know you arent alone. you have me . i may not know you but i love you. i love you for being different. for being who you are. i love you because you know my pain and because you need love. i love you because you try every day. i love you because i can. i have the ability to love you so i will. i will fight all the hate and hurt you suffer through with my love. because i can. because i dont want you to be alone. because love is the most powerful thing in the world and you deserve it in spades. we all do. so i ask you my flist to do the same. love people unconditionally . you may not know them but let the world know you care. stand up for people and treat others with kindness and compassion. .
here are some of my favorite Audrey Hepburn quotes that i think apply to this
" People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone."
- Audrey Hepburn
"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."
- Audrey Hepburn
"The most important thing is to enjoy your life-to be happy-it's all that matters."
- Audrey Hepburn
"Your heart just breaks, that's all. But you can't judge or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you."
- Audrey Hepburn
Since the world has existed, there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller, more accessible. There is just no question that there is more obligation that those who have should give to those who have nothing."
- Audrey Hepburn
