.Words are a tool like any other. We use words to put across the feelings that come in and out of our hectic minds and hearts. What happens when you can no longer put into words how it is that you feel? What happens when the english language fails to sum up everything that you want to sum up. What happens when the tears can’t morph themselves into words, words that will explain why it is that you waste so much energy hating yourself. I spin the globe with the tap of my finger and play that game. That game where you put your finger down on a random place and stop the spinning globe and imagine what it would be like to be there. But in a game without a winner, I have managed to become the loser. Because every place is the same. For no matter where I go my footsteps will find a way to follow me. I will follow me. Is there a way I can put myself on a seperate plane from where I’m going? Everyone should have a pair of wings. Wings that will fly ever so high and far away from all worry and pain. Everyone should have wings. I want wings.

Why do you seem so depressed! You need to work on the positive things about yourself! You seems so down on yourself! I hope you find a place that you feel good! But you need to feel good about yorself for no matter where you go that will not change things. It’s not the place that counts it is what is inside of you that counts. @-}-]–
First, I wish you a happy belated birthday. Sorry that I missed the big date.
Now I would like to ask you a question:
Are you comparing your life with the lives of other people? That can be depressing… you are not other people, you can only be yourself. Did you ever think that other people are looking at you and wishing they were you?
In the end, we must accept who we are, what we have, and where we’re going as individuals. Look around you … what makes you happy … what’s not making you happy … then, make a list of all the things you are grateful for – like your health, your home, your family and loved ones, a job – and see if that changes your outlook.
There once was a man who was sad because he had no shoes. Then he saw a man who nad no feet. Then he was no longer sad because he still had his feet.
Think about that.
Finally Shy I am not sure i wished you your birthday . What a shame . Belated Happy birthday my dear Shy . You look a little sad in this blog .

About the words , I think they are the wings of the thought .
Love
I’ve gone to the end of the world, and I haven’t been able to lose myself…
I don’t know why we can’t find the words sometimes – maybe because we arent ready to.
I think we can all soar though… hugs
I have a similiar appreciation for the words because they are the only way sometimes to convey the meaning…
For me, i think I found them when i realised that they were offered freely but could not be earned nor bought. and that they had to be taken if i could surrender the thought that i had to find them myself.
i hope the world brightens up for you.
i’ve been absent, and so also missed your birthday. Happy Birthday – and happy heart for the year.
Sometimes words hinder more than help. When that happens, don’t try to find the words. Just feel.
Be brave and keep walking. You see more beauty in the world when you’re putting one foot in front of the other, than if you’re soaring high above it.

words ARE like tools – they do fail – worry not friend. i dont think there is a solution to everything – but it sounds like you might want to let loose and concentrate on the things at hand – class, homework, students etc – often time solves many things – give youself that time dear Lotus.
Hello Sheila…When I red this blog I realized that you are sad, and that you want to run away of the bad things that happens not only in your life but in everybody´s lives, everybody has problems…You don´t need wings to fly away because there are many people here that need you…not only as a teacher but as a beautiful person that you are…And you aren´t a loser, you´ve got to think that the loser is this bad feeling that is in you now…So, forget about the wings and still here,being the happy and the important person that you are for me and many others folks…Don´t let the sadness wins this game (the game of the life)…and I´m sure that you are a winner!!!
I love you…Kisses
See you
May I borrow your wings too?
