If you love yourself, only then you can truly love others
Funk-Soldier, I was reading through this thread and saw your post. Little children are amazing in how they encounter the world - they take it as it comes instead of fighting it. In the teen years, and on into adulthood, we learn to "control" all that we possibly can. What you have shared about your daughter touches my soul as well, and she will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I don't know if this is a still looked through thread but a kid in our class who has been a wheel chair for about 5 years will walk on stage to get his diploma. There's also a college wrestler who suffered a horrible neck injury also walked to get his diploma also. Just some great stories about perserverance
I love this thread. Let's keep it going!
music never fails to make me smile creativity, imagination, and an open-mind can go a long way
you're more likely to succeed in what you love most if you follow your passion instead of following money or other desires

I always smile when I look outside the window and see my puppy Forrest exploring around and sniffing interesting objects(grass and plants lol) and he doesn't notice that I've been looking at him for a couple of minutes already

So true... The possibilities we have with sounds are endless. There's a whole world to create in music, to express ourselves, and inspire others. Like so many have done before us...

Well there I was sitting there at home one day watching cooltv.com and the song 'missing' comes on. The group? Flyleaf. I haven't been this excited about a band since Stone Temple Pilots 1994 album 'Purple.'
And here I am listening to music that younger people are in too. Then again I listen to a variety of music and I'm very happy I ran into this band.
Most bands coming out will not talk a long time in between songs as their gigs. That usually is a big no-no. Flyleaf breaks the rules and tells it like it is. With all the teen suicides over various reasons going on in our country, it's good to see that a band is trying to help.

Lacey, the singer, isn't doing so bad now. From having depressing thoughts, she now is married and leads one of the best bands in the US. God bless flyleaf!

I've always liked that one.
