Huh...

Things are funny, sometimes. I was reading this entry in thorne1966's journal, and wishing I could help.

I just did the monthly bill-paying thing. Two of my bills have inexplicably been paid. I have no idea how it happened, but I know that the money didn't come from my bank account. I sent the money I expected to use on the bills to Brandy & Deb. (If anyone else has $20 to spare, Brandy has a PayPal account...) I've been where they're at. It's terrifying. They have a three year old son, and the power is about to be shut off. (The water has already been turned off.)

Renfroe forwarded this to me. Awwwww.

1. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.



2. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.



3. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.



4. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.



5. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.



6. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.



7. Don't waste your time on a man/woman who isn't willing to waste their time on you.



8. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.



9. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.



10. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.



11. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.



12. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

Sorry to be negative, but...

I love all of those messages, except:
"Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile."

Oh, give me a fucking break. If I'm sad, I'll frown. Deal with it.

Other than that, SUCH a sweet message.

I have to agree. Really, I'll never know who might be falling in love with the way I extend my middle finger, either.

Umm... nice, but picky: one person? Why just one person?

[kyra-ojosverdes.livejournal.com]

One person at a given moment? ;-)

[twfarlan.livejournal.com]

More pickyness. ;)

Okay, how about this

[kyra-ojosverdes.livejournal.com]

Let x = a given moment in time, and
let y = the number of people you're focusing on (e.g. partners)

As x --> 0, y --> 1

Howzat?

Heh. Argh, poly math.

13. Don't cry, hide your feelings with a fake happiness. If you think happy then you will be happy, at least on the outside, which is the most important. Don't be such a drag on the rest of us. You'll get wrinkles!

14. Saccharine-sweet platitudes are the only Truth.

I've always been more of a doom and gloom, "it'll never work, we're all going to die" kind of person but sometimes all those silly optimistic phrases are right. Yeah, they may be simplistic and unrealistic but the sentiment behind them is what made me smile. Thanks, Kyra.

Stuff like this definitely means more when it's sent by someone who really knows you, whose shoulder has gotten wet a few times with your tears.

If someone I didn't know well sent it, it would be annoying. But even though he didn't write it (as he pointed out when I thanked him for the forward), it means a lot coming from someone who really knows me.
