Life Expectancy: 65 Years
Claud
An avid collector of your hopes and worries, a romantic at heart.
She thanks her fairies, for blessing her with people who know compassion down to an art.
For accepting her for who she is, who never fails to turn up,
in times of need as well as happiness, or just there for a loving hug.

acceptance....
how many times, we doubt ourselves....questioning about our abilities, capabilities, and creativity?
it bothers when everytime, you sit for an examination....the questions in front of you look so familiar, yet when you start to attempt it. it's another story. you get muddled, not knowing how to start....is that lack of understanding? or a blame on lack of practice?
i find alot of my friends, close or not, always being hindered by self-doubt. like "am i good enough?" or show actions that they withdraw from things that they think they cannot do.
it's a pity that when you give up before you even try....
oh wellz, i guess that is just part and parcel of life. we cannot really be another person....
speaking of myself......i don't know if anyone feels this way, but it's like....
when you meet someone who's really nice and everything, and starts to befriend you. some people try to befriend them back. but some don't.....it's kinda sad and hurtful that you don't.....it's not a matter of acceptance, it's a matter of courtesy....
as far as i feel, acceptance is not about being NICE to another individual....being NICE, is courtesy. it's something that you HAVE to do unless you call yourself a barbarian...
Acceptance is looking for the qualities in someone other than the surface, and whether it's good or bad, you'll have to sort of "bear" with it. because sometimes, a little tolerance can later result in something else in the long run.....really....try it, you'll never know
Accepting yourself for who you are is the first step for you to accept another. because if you don't accept who you are - deep inside, you cannot accept the edgyness of another, the irritating habit of another, the hurting mindless remarks of another.....you have to accept who you are before you accept another as who they are....
we all belong to the human race, why then? can't we live in a place of compassion and peace....
