music, books, love and kindness

I struggle with myself on almost any given day, but especially after I feel like I've been foolish or said something unintentionally hurtful, forgotten to do something important...or when I still find myself feeling things (no matter if they are feelings of love or genuine concern) I wanted to stop feeling ages ago.

Today, mostly a very nice one, I almost made it through without having a "what a moron I am" moment, but I failed...and was a complete dodo.

This article came up when I did a search and it's really one of the best things that appeared. But it saddens me so much to see that there is a lot of self-hatred and pain on the Internet that exists in the world (of course) but is more openly expressed online.

So many people, especially teenagers, are truly suffering with who they are and how to go on each day. My heart aches for them.
