When you feel...
“Think….”
Think of those who care..... -When life has you down- -When you don’t want anyone to care- -When you have no where else to turn- -When you need a shoulder to cry on- -When you need someone to talk to- -When you’ve made a mistake- -When you have been dishonest- -When you need help- When life has you down... For it is in this state when our judgment is impaired and we don’t know what we want. It is in a negative state of mind when we make our worst decisions. Sometimes we need help, but we just don’t want to show the humility. People are not perfect, no one is. Growing up can be rough, being a teen can be worse, but you need to stop and think of those who care for you. There are many of them out there, in your home, at your school, even in your heart. We like to forget about them, the most important people in our lives, when we think negatively. It’s only a state of mind... You must remember the people who care. You must know that everyone has their ups and downs. We all need a crutch sometimes. You may think your situation is a unique one, and "No one knows what you’re going through". People do, I do, we all do. The experiences we all have endured over out time allow us to understand the situation of another. In one life or another, we have experienced these same things, these same traumas, these same feelings. You must understand this is a state of mind we all go through at one point or another. We all may be unique, but we all have the same heart, the same lungs, we are all made the same. Listen...... It’s hard, I know, to accept advice from others, to listen to them when they have something to say. It’s hard to want to accept their statements as truth when your mind doesn’t want to hear such things. Listen to them, they only want to help. We care.... We care about you.... whoever you are. Don’t forget you have friends who will do anything for you.... Think of those who care when life has you down, it’s only a state of mind. Listen, we care. -Mason Bass Jan 16, 2006 Original work.

Profound stuff. Certainly something to keep in mind. Thanks for that Seph
 I'm impressed with how it explores the point of sometimes not wanting to be helped - thats often the single most dificult issue when trying to solve a problem.

That's some pretty deep stuff.
Oh, and I'd like to commend Bee on what is most probably her shortest post in many years.  ------------------------------ EDIT: Of course I love those posts. I think Bee's great; her posts should be even longer!. In fact, I shall pay homage to her by giving her all my TT cards. I shall also be shortly aware (if I look at this thread again), that admins can edit sarcastic little member's posts...
