You are beautiful.

I'm going away again, this time I'm going to sing.
I hope it will add some kindling to my burt out soul.
Thank you for your love, I love you all.

The night is as the day.

It's times like these, late at night, that I start to feel the weight of the world crushing down on me again.
The panic sets in and sleep walks out on me leaving me alone with myself.

Mark 5:41

I do not want to let this darkness cover me but I am not strong enough to fight these dragons alone.

I'm scared.

I'm always scared.

Selfish dreams and selfless deeds

Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune - without the words,

And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;

And sore must be the storm

That could abash the little bird

That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,

And on the strangest sea;

Yet, never, in extremity,

It asked a crumb of me.

~ Hope by Emily Dickinson

Make The Nightmares Fade by AlexSilent

Time is moving faster,

swirling round my head.

Sometimes it feels like 

it might just - let - go.

And yet the cogs keep turning, 

the seasons swift to change.

Day to night and day again, 

simple - clockwork - lost.

The people struggle to walk, 

against the chilling wind.

Forgetting about the present,

Just past - future - pain.

We're missing all the beauty, every day just fades away.

Dear You.

(A post because of Tywo)

Dear You,
The thought of You injured today froze my blood.
I never want You to be hurting, I care too much.
It's crazy what I feel about You.
You are the strongest person I have ever known, and for that, I will always love You.
It is the most painful thing I have ever done but I can't get away from it.
I want You to be happy, if being friends makes You happy then I will tie an anchor to my feelings and loose them under the ocean. You mean more to me than I thought was possible.
You give me so much to be thankful for.
For the memories, all the amazing memories. Of mountains and plains, joy and even sadness.
The time we talked all night then climbed Arthur's Seat for the sunrise, and the time we made love in the African bush.
For the times You held me for hours and told me it was all going to be okay.
For the love that we shared and the joy that it brought.
We may have had more than our fair share of pain but I don't regret what we shared.
I wish You all the happiness in the world.
Always Yours,
Heather.

Now to pass it on - sweet pea, helloxbeautiful, Melee, Peridot, I ask you to write a letter to whoever about whatever. It must begin with "Dear you" and you can only use pronouns.

Descending into Chaos.

The streets of our cities are bubbling with riots and unrest.
All they tell us is how it will be damaging our image for the 2012 olympics, how the teenagers should all be locked up because they're ruining it for everyone, how unfortunate the timing of the riots is.
Well fuck them!

Why does noone seem to care why people are rioting? Why don't they think about how we can help them, and feel compassion for them and angry at the hurt our society causes for so many vulnerable people.
We need more hope in this world.
Without hope, happy memories to recall, or self respect, we have nothing.
Think about how many times in a day you have little flashbacks to something better than right now, or of a glimmer of hope for the future. Now imagine a life without these and it's easy to see why some feel the need to escape with drugs or violence.

I'd like to challenge you to make someone's life a little happier tomorrow.

Smile at everyone you see; invite the lonely guy from down the road up for a cuppa; leave a nice note for the cleaners at work; leave your old books on the train; make a stranger laugh.

It doesn't matter what you do, the simplest gestures can make the biggest difference.

While I was at lunch the other day, this was left on my desk :

I couldn't stop grinning for the rest of the day.

You can make a difference.
