Elizabeth,, I can't believe the nice words you use, even after i was a pain to you. You must be an incredible person to have feelings like this. I wish I could use words and show some feelings like you and the others here, but sometimes I get paraniod and argumentive.
I would like to post again, when i get rid of that guy in my avatar.
I have no words to describe my feelings after I read your post.
It is I,,who thanks you.
Love Amelie

Amelie,
It was my hope with this thread to ask my sisters here to see me for my best qualities, and not my worst. So that all of my sisters out there who are suffering in silence can know that whatever they did before, does not matter. That my sisters here will look for thier good.
Because when I first came here, I did not even know I had any good. But my sisters here were looking for it. They were not looking for what was wrong with me. They were looking for what was right with me, so I could have something to build on.
Sometimes those feelings of no self worth come back, and that makes me defensive, and I lash out to try to make someone feel my pain. And it is wrong, and it is not the person I want to be. I don't need to show anyone my pain, all my sisters here know of it. They all have lived it in thier own way.
Amelie, I am no different than you, or my other sisters here. I am looking for your good points, because you have many. I want you to know that you don't have to be defined by your worst, and neither do I. And our pressence here proves that.
It has truely made me happy to see you here, and I must say, I absolutely love your avatar. You look terrific. I would love to look that good. Hang in there sister, we can all help each other.
Love always,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,
I'm glad you're back to feeling like there is some good in the world. There is lots and you are part of what makes it good. We all have times when things all look dark. Welcome back to the light!
Amelie,
I think that "guy" in your avatar is so cute! Such a sweet smile!

Love is a verb. It's a doing thing. No action, no love! - Terri

Thankyou for you words of encouragement. It is particularly gracious of you to say such kind things considering you were at the receiving end of my worst behavior. But that is exactly the kind of spirit that I was talking about. You are still able to have compassion and empathy for me, and that is what makes this place so special.
It is this kind of action that I wish to emulate, and extend my words of encouragement to others. To extend my compassion and empathy to others, so they may heal as I am.
Terri, I have not said so personally to you, and in a public way, but I am truely sorry for my actions and words that were hurtful to you. I am just filled with joy that you are able to forgive me. I will carry this lesson with me, and give back to my fellow sisters to repay my debt of graditude. Thankyou for being you!!!
Love always,
Elizabeth

Hi all,
Amélie,
Audrey Tautou (who plays the main character in the excellent film, Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) is very cute, in an impish kind of way, but I have to say, your own looks are pretty special, too. Your beauty is tinged with a hint of something more dark and Gothic. It's very appealing.
Elizabeth,
I don't think anyone here ever doubted that you're a good person with a compassionate soul. Again, with your post above, we have ample proof of that. Yes, our pain flares up sometimes and makes our mind (and our mouth) run a mile ahead of our heart. But, we remain nonetheless standing "in the light," as Terri says. We just occasionally forget that we do so. And if that ain't human, I don't know what is!
Love,
CJ

Thanks Elizabeth, you have such a fine way with words and an understanding, that I lack at times. I will try and learn.
Thanks CJ, for your kind words about my avatar, I sort of like the dark look. I feel at home there.
Terri, that guy that was in my avatar is cute, but it couldn't be me. I don't smile very much. lol
Love Amelie
PS-CJ how do you put that little slash above the first e in Amelie. I don't seem to have this key on my computer. Now here comes my ignorance,, do you have a French keyboard? Is there such a thing as a French keyboard? I am a blonde.
