revealing an emotional treasure/secret/...

[whatthef__k]

well, as some of you might know, i am a full-time psychology student and i've therefore worked in a clinic for psychiatry and psychotherapy. after having an inspiring conversation with a depressive patient, she wrote some lines and gave them to me.
and now it's time to share them with you guys. the verse is simple, and thus it's beautiful.
(i hope my translation of it is correct as english is obviously not my native language...)


I believe that diseases are keys
that can open certain doors for us.
Because I believe there are certain doors
that can only be opened by a disease.


so, is there anything you want to share with us? maybe a verse a good friend once gave to you? or a motto that helped you coming through a hard situation?

hey babe, should you be sharing her thoughts with us? Isn't that against the rules?

i am still in touch with that person and she gave me the permission to share the lines with everyone who is worth it.

Not particularly life affirming or pithy but there was, and maybe it's still there, a piece of graffitti on a wall seen from the train on the way into Paddington Station which I always liked.....although I don't profess to fully understand its intended meaning or symbolism:



FAR AWAY IS CLOSE AT HAND IN IMAGES OF ELSEWHERE




(I believe the first few words are also from a Robert Graves poem)

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.

The anger reference jogged my memory for this one:


Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you.
