I've tried to understand
I've tried very hard.

I don't understand some things.

I understand others.

I am not perfect.

You matter.

I matter.

5. There are some things just better off not understood.
:-) I'm a fine one to give advice or counsel, but it's what can save some people's butts.

11. No one is perfect
but you know what? I'd say you come pretty darn close. ;) :hug:

In all seriousness, though, SPK...you definitely do matter. The world (and definitely the DU Lounge, as well!) is a better place because you are here. :hug: Don't give up. :pals:

16. worthy?
I was told by a very wise person once that we all have one worth point in the eyes of God. No one has two, and no one has one. We may feel like we don't have a worth point, but in the eyes of God we all do no matter what.

That's hard to accept sometimes, but I believe I have one, you have one, everyone has one.

and snow? it seems to be trailing off. It was coming down but good earlier

take care lost

I hope you can find yourself and move on

18. If I may?
"I've tried very hard."

But don't hold all the cards


"I don't understand some things."

But know our hearts all have wings

"I understand others."

We are all sisters and brothers

"I am not perfect."

and I am not suspect

"You matter."
"I matter"

We matter

all

21. Stop trying.
Some things you will never understand.

"To go in the dark with a light is to know the light. To know the dark, go dark." ~Wendell Berry

Not everything is going to be up for your perusal or comprehension - the Universe is not an open book test. And the *best* way to make yourself crazy is to try over and over to get something that you cannot grasp - literally or figuratively - in the first place.

Breathe. You matter. Matter to YOU. Oh, and you ARE perfect.

:hug:

Have you seen The Last Samurai? There's a scene in there which illustrates my point so well but if you haven't seen it, I would hate to spoil it.

Friend, sometimes you gotta let those waves of uncertainty and fear and all that other stuff crash right over you so that you can be bathed clean by them. Feel it, then let it go. Because you do, certainly, matter.
