From Me To You

So often in a reply especially if it's to do with worthiness or self hate, members will say thank you or i'm sorry to bother you, so I'd like to make things clearer.
You are worthy of attention, love and patience.
It does not make you "less than" to admit your pain.
You are not a fruit loop or a basketcase for hurting.
You are not whining. (unless maybe you stub your toe!) LOL
you are a worthy person, JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.
Your abuse no matter how slight is JUST as important as others because your scars are in your heart, not your body.
You deserve a champion to fight for you.
And friends to care for you when your down.That is the power that heals us, each of us is a simple flame in the dark but together we are a blinding light for those still lost.
When I post that alone means your worthy of love from me.
Blessings sisters & Bro's, your always loved and worried over.

I did stub my toe, but I assure you the sound that came out of my mouth didn't sound in the least bit like a whine. ;)
Thank you, though! So nice to be reminded of these things.
So glad you're here at AS.

I have to say that this is the first post I have replyed to for a while, and it was just what I neeeded!
Ok, here comes my whinge:
No, I haven't stubbed my toe, but I have just started my morning to cat poop all over my new carpet, I guess she doesn't like the rain! Sodding animal is not my favourite at the moment. I walked in wednesday night, after a really tough day to find my BF's grandma had left me some tea to save me cooking, a really yummy roast. Went to heat it up and my dear old kitty cat was helping herself. 9pm and I started cooking...
Seriously though, it was a really lovely post, and it has put a real ray of sunshine in my world that has been a little dark recently.
Thanks again, you are a true star!
