After 216 month i’ve finally realized that it’s okay to be sad when other people are happy, it’s okay to be happy when other people are sad. It took six thousand, five hundred and seventy days for me to be okay with people leaving, for me to accept that that’s just the way life has to be at times….
The odds seem crazy, but there’s this one person out there for each and every one of us.
so my sister showed me this today thought it’d be a good thing to share on tumblr:
A teacher in New York was teaching her class about bullying and gave them the following exercise to perform. She had the children take a piece of paper and told them to crumple it up, stamp on it and really mess it up but do not rip it. Then she had them unfold the paper, smooth it out and look at how scarred and dirty is was. She then told them to tell it they’re sorry. Now even though they said they were sorry and tried to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars they left behind. And that those scars will never go away no matter how hard they tried to fix it. That is what happens when a child bully’s another child, they may say they’re sorry but the scars are there forever. The looks on the faces of the children in the classroom told her the message hit home. Pass it on or better yet, if you’re a parent or a teacher, do it with your child/children.
such a powerful story
