A Little Inspiration

[pinkunicorn123]

Ive noticed that alot of people on this forum are either with low self-esteem, insecure, depressed, or have suffered any of these at some point in their lives. So amongst the offering of friendly advice and support i think it would be nice to have a thread with some inspiration.
So i would really appreciate it if you could all reply with the most inspirational saying you have heard in your life, something that someone has said that has really helped you or cheered you up maybe?
For me, in relation to marks remaining from previous phases of self harm, it would be this which was said to me by a very close friend:

'We all have scars, it doesnt make you any different from anyone else, you're just brave enough to wear them on the outside.'

not sure how much this will help any1 else but a bit of a story.....

1 thing that always puts a smile on my face when im down.....

last year when i was walkin home from skool with a close friend who ive known 4 14 yrs i was havin a gd moan about how shit things were at the time....and i remember sayin grrrrrr i give up!!!
and she turned round to me and said " jem, seriously i look up to u, dont give up. u cant! even if its only for me...dont give up!"

that little speech might not help other people but will hopefully help people realise theres always someone there. whether its a close friend, or just someone on here...everyones got someone to give them words of advice, encouragement, strength and support...and with people like that ......you can get through anything.

This is an italian proverb about equality:
'After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.'

That is what my best friend tells me anytime I think I can't go on and it has totally helped. Hopefully it helps somebody else.


No matter what life brings you, you can make it through no matter how weak you think are.

No matter how bad you think your life is, one day it will all change before your very eyes.

it isn't as nice and friendly and sweet as all that stuff ^^ but when I feel absolutely shit and down and liek selfharming I think to myself
"well, there realyl isn't much point because shit happens in life, and worse things happen to better people, and tbh as bad as it feels now it probably won't feel so bad if I give it a little time"
it might not make me feel brilliant at the time but after a while I'm usually proven right and things do feel better.
