When I read the various post here I'm often stunned by some of the things that are said here, often just an odd sentence that someone writes that shouts out to me and forces me to shout back "YES !"

So I thought I'd start a "Quote of the week" topic where we can all enter the best quotes that someone else has written and has impressed you that week.

And my personal choice this week is from Spidey, talking about his old fear of becoming a perp.

Dave

I don't fear that possible future anymore. Part of me will stand vigil over it until I'm in my grave, but I find its a much smaller part than it used to be.

My choice is from Scot in the 'can i be loved' thread.

Bill

To love ourselves is, perhaps, the hardest thing because we are our own worst critics. We fail to see what others see, that we are worthy beings capable of love and being loved. We love, of course, through simple compassion for others and wishing to give of ourselves.

Thanks for reminding me, bro.

Peace and love,

A tie from me! Just read Shawn's (Scarman) posting from F&F and I thought it was so true.

Just remember, we're all f****d up in some way or another.

I wish everyone else would realize this! :D

I can finally look at myself in a whole new light. I am not a monster. I am a compassionate, loving man. I was those things then.

Part of reply by Wrangler to a wonderful thread over in the Family & Friends Forum about sex and communication.

At the risk of oversimplification, the commonality in this thread is communication, and I think three channels. Each channel can get blocked by fear, shame, pride, confusion... they are

1. Me-Me.
Can I make some sort of conscious (silent) declaration about how I feel? Or do I just feel intense? It is still pretty frequent that I have trouble communicating my emotions to myself in some intelligible, coherent way.

2. You-You.
See above.

3. Me-You / You-Me.
Supposing I feel fear, and I can think to myself "I feel fear", can I say to you "I feel fear". AND supposing I say "I feel fear", will you actually hear "He feels fear".

Dave, that is a very good quote and worthy of the quote of the week.

But this is the one that made me estactically happy.

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

This came via Brayton:

"I am finding that for me acceptance of innocence does little to dispel the other ongoing effects of the abuse.

It is still hard for me to continuing living this way day after day, lurking triggers, anxiety, despair".

Yep, thats me (at the moment)

Rik's quote in The Ship is leaving the Dock (positive thread) thread.

Today I am sailing on the ship called 'Hope and Life'... I am the Captain of that ship & I hope to sail it well!

It says it all.

There I was reading the posts about teddy bears that Scot started, and I don't know about you guys but it's a personal and emotional subject is teddy bears.

Then Bill said this -

I have a bunny, named of all things Bunny. I have no imagination.

and I just fell about laughing - sorry bill, I couldn't help it. :D :D

Dave
 
That's alright Dave, I've been laughed at plenty the last 24 hours.

Like Leosha said in a post awhile ago, nurses and the rest of the people at the hospital like to laugh at the stupid people that come in with stupid injuries. Unfortunately, that was me last night. Tallsteve got a good chuckle out of it as did some of the guys in the chat room last night.

In case you want to know how stupid it was, I got a stick stuck in my throat. And no, I wasn't playing fetch. I just thought I'd stick around for awhile. :D

Believe in yourself. Remember the ark was built by amateurs, but the Titanic was built by professionals.
 
I ask that no one attempt to contact me.

Oh, dam, just when I think I have new pen pal.

Leosha, everything I wanted to say - in just one line.

The quote of the week (and for all time as far as I am concerned) for me is:

You are not alone.
