Hi guys! This page is 'from my heart' dedicated to all my 'kidz'...and to anyone one else out there that may be having some problems coping with life right now.
As I have been sitting around the last few days cuz of an illness, I have done a lot of thinkin' and soul searching...sometimes it jus' seems like life throws us one curve ball after another...and it is very hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel...
The text/quotes that I used with the images are from the movie "Girl Interrupted." In case you haven't seen it, it's
about a young woman's stay in a mental hospital...
I had my share of problems growing up, and I know about everything that I've quoted here. Hey, I'm a flower-child, an
ex-messed up hippie! But in all seriousness, I have made many, many, mistakes along the way. And I just want anyone who is going through stuff now to know, that it does get better. I don't
know if all of the hurts, betrayals, scars, or thoughts ever go away completely...ya know all of those cool lessons that we learn thru life experiences, and the school of 'hard knocks', but time is a wonderful healer...and in time it really does get better!
A fellow "blogger" made a little button to draw attention to the subject of suicide, and how it's a "permanent solution to a temporary problem." (see her button below) I thank God
every day that I didn't accidentally kill myself doing some of the crazy things we all did back then...unfortunately, many of my friends were not as lucky as I was...I think now how awful it would have been for my family, my friends, and everyone who loves me if I was
not around anymore, not to mention what I would have missed!!! It's mind boggling. :::continued::: |

I don't mean to get preachy here...but seriously we all have problems...and sometimes it feels like we just can't or will not make it thru them, sometimes emotionally it is like being a runaway rollercoaster, and we can't cope...we ALL go thru that...that is jus' life...and when those times happen it is usually our first inclination to try and escape (which is the worst thing we can do) and pull away and isolate ourselves...and these are the times that you find out who your real friends are, and hopefully for most of you how understanding your parents really can be, if you let them...that's why we have them in our lives to help us along the journey...
I just think it gets easier to handle if you know what to expect and try to talk about it and just "go with the flow" knowing that it will pass, ya know? And if for some reason it doesn't...then by all means PLEASE seek the help from someone who can and will help you through whatever you are facing... |

One thing I KNOW I have learned is that life is way to precious and way to short to waste it...don't be afraid to be who you are...sometimes travel the road less traveled...remember to take time to tell those close to you how much they mean to you...and show them! Take time to look around you, really look, and see all the beauty that surrounds you every day...and realize that you are so special, so unique and wonderful that there is not another human being alive EXACTLY like you...I believe in destiny, and I believe that each of us has a path for our lives...we may fall off it from time to time, but we usually find our way back onto it...and in time we all find our 'place' in the big plan...each one of you is so neat...and I love ya all, and I learn from ya'll too...all the time! My door is always open to any of you...just please remember nothing, absolutely nothing is worth killing yourself over!!!

I talked to a young person tonight (who shall remain forever nameless) who had tried to kill themself about a month ago, over something that happened that they felt was their fault...they almost succeeded too...what a horrible tragedy that would have been! Such a bright, funny, and wonderful person...but someone intervened and got them help just in time...and tonight that person was telling me how they thanked God that they did not die...and that now they could see how wrong their thinking was...but, they weren't able to see that before...so no matter how bad it gets, always remember there ARE people out there who love you and will stand by you, and hold you up till you can stand on ur own...I have always heard it said that friends are like angels...they help us fly when we can't...and it will get better!!! I promise :)
Let's see, did I forget anything? OH! I did want to mention a special part of this website that is under construction...it is called 'She Lives On Love Street'...it is some personal stuff that I would like to share with you, and it has some cool links to different places...places where you can help someone else...sometimes it makes ya feel better to help someone else when ur down...so please do check it out k? Also, there is a NEW blog for just art and music...I would love to have feedback from some of you on these blogs!!! I have HIGH hopes for the 'LOVE STREET' portion of this site...it is totally UNDER CONSTRUCTION, but I feel like in the end it will probably be the biggest part of this website!!! jus' click here for 'She Lives On Love Street!
Ok guys, I'm outta here! Take care of yourself, be good to others, and "remember how beautiful life is and can be!" xoxo, ~Harley
