I was touched by Bunny’s story. She seems uniquely unique and yet she’s the same as everyone here. We’re all damaged and beautiful. (I’m not sure if a cut/paste is allowed.)
Hi Bunny, You have a good spirit and a nice way about you. I couldn’t believe it when you said you “really like and respect” the person that alarmingly downplayed your disability. Good for you! If it was me I’d be reacting a little differently. Bless your heart.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read people here afraid of losing their “normal life.”
This may be a tough pill to swallow but there truly is no such thing. It doesn’t exist. But if it did, the truth is we’re all a bit damaged-- some more than others. We’re all going to break.
Where is this coming from? I just returned from a long hike in the Arizona mountains on a beautiful rocky trail. For some reason, I don’t know why, when I placed my feet I started really noticing the various rocks, hand-sized to mammoth boulders.
Bunny, every single rock was cracked or broken. In a way that added to their beauty and the wonder of the huge formidable mountain.
We’re all cracked or broken. And in my opinion that’s one of the things that makes us uniquely beautiful.
Of course all of my rambling doesn’t remove your pain and fear. I just want you to be able to say to yourself, “I’m cracked and that makes me even more beautiful.” Sorry I rambled so much but maybe it was for you, on some level, that I noticed the rocks on the hike. Best wishes, Greg
Honestly, I’ve been watching your posts over the last several months and it feels to me like you’re almost a completely different guy. What I read in your posts is basically love for the fellow human and it is wonderful to see. I also feel like you get at least as much out of reaching out to people as you put into it and this fits with my own experience, too.
I hope this does reflect something in your life that has changed because I love it.
I always hope that when I reply to someone on here it is because I’m a little inspired by their situation or what they are saying as to what I can say from my own situation or experience that might help them: hopefully, it’s not about me it’s about them: and if we can do this for each other, what a wonderful world this could be.
So by my reckoning you’re doing wonderful things sharing your thoughts. Neither of us is going to get it right 100% of the time but I think we’re trying to build a world of hope, word by word.
