RE: We all have sorrow, But if we are wise, We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean On Me and Through the Years are two songs that have a great impact on me and still to this day. These songs hold powerful meaning. Both songs helped me during my dark days and during my lonely times.
Your story touched a nerve and opened the flood gates. It is relatable. It is so personal and painful to read. I've always said and keep on saying that we should be kind always for we don't know what the others are going through. One smile, a simple act of kindness may be the only thing that we needed to bring us back from the brink of destruction.
I had a friend not long ago admit to me that she would call me any time she was feeling bad about herself, her self image more importantly. Since the day I met her she has been beautiful to me and I've called her that each time we see each other or talk on the phone. I never thought anything of it, but she said there were many times that she just needed to hear me call her beautiful and then when we would end the call that I loved her.
Now mind you my Wife had major complexes about some of the girls in my life when we first started dating. She would hear me call them beautiful or other pet names and then me tell them that I loved them and she hadn't been around for the years that bounded us together like this. So it typically wasn't until she would meet the girl and see how we acted together that she realized the connection that was there and it wasn't anything that should be seen as a threat. But that is a whole different set of stories.
