What it takes for someone to cross my borders? What it takes for someone to reach my soul? What it takes for someone to get to now me? What it takes for someone to leave me alone?
I just don't know...
I just don't know what it takes...
I just know that I have what it takes to be happy...
I will never have what it takes to make someone else happy...
I believe happiness comes from within...
I believe that by being happy I do help others to find happiness within themselves...
It takes a crane to build a crane It takes two floors to make a story It takes an egg to make a hen It takes a hen to make an egg There is no end to what I'm saying
It takes a thought to make a word And it takes some words to make an action And it takes some work to make it work It takes some good to make it hurt It takes some bad for satisfaction
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle Ah la la la la life is wonderful Ah la la la la
It takes a night to make it dawn And it takes a day to make you yawn brother And it takes some old to make you young It takes some cold to know the sun It takes the one to have the other
And it takes no time to fall in love But it takes you years to know what love is And it takes some fears to make you trust It takes those tears to make it rust It takes the dust to have it polished
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful Ah la la la la
It is so...
It takes some silence to make sound And it takes a loss before you found it And it takes a road to go nowhere It takes a toll to make you care It takes a hole to make a mountain
Ah la la la la la life is wonderful Ah la la la la la life goes full circle Ah la la la la la life is wonderful Ah la la la la la life is meaningful Ah la la la la la life is wonderful Ah la la la la la
It is so...wonderful... It is so meaningful... It is so...wonderful... It is so meaningful...
Shortly after midnight on October 7, 1998, 21-year-old Matthew Shepard met Aaron James McKinney and Russell Arthur Henderson in a bar.
McKinney and Henderson posed as gay men and offered Shepard a ride in their car. Subsequently, Shepard was robbed, pistol whipped, tortured, tied to a fence in a remote, rural area, and left to die.
McKinney and Henderson also found out his address and intended to burgle his home. Still tied to the fence, Shepard was discovered eighteen hours later by a cyclist, who at first thought that Shepard was a scarecrow. At the time of discovery, Shepard was still alive, but in a coma.
Shepard suffered a fracture from the back of his head to the front of his right ear. He had severe brain stem damage, which affected his body's ability to regulate heart rate, body temperature and other vital signs.
There were also about a dozen small lacerations around his head, face and neck. His injuries were deemed too severe for doctors to operate. Shepard never regained consciousness and remained on full life support. As he lay in intensive care, candlelight vigils were held by the people of Laramie.
He was pronounced dead at 12:53 A.M. on October 12, 1998 at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins. Police arrested McKinney and Henderson shortly thereafter, finding the bloody gun as well as the victim's shoes and wallet in their truck.
Henderson pleaded guilty on April 5, 1999, and agreed to testify against McKinney to avoid the death penalty; he received two consecutive life sentences. The jury in McKinney's trial found him guilty of felony murder. As it began to deliberate on the death penalty, Shepard's parents brokered a deal, resulting in McKinney receiving two consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole.

Ten years later and things have not changed much!
I was bullied yesterday, and on last friday...
Just to mention the last two.
It is so sad to be surrounded by so much ignorance.
Sometimes we get stuck in dead relationships, or relationship that never even started.
Finding the courage to say "bye" and let go is not always easy!
But it is such a liberating feeling when you finally do that.
When you stand up for your believes and make a statement.
You declare to the world your truth.
And you make your point.
"If you are not going to that meeting with high expectations, believing that this worth the trial, that we most probably will end up together, then just do not show up. Because I do, I am going there with High Expectations".
The answer was simple.
"If that is what you want, and how you wanted, I am not going".
- delete contact.
The space has been freed.
And suddenly, out of the blue (I should say 'out of the green') you start to receive invitations, phone calls, messages.

I went back in my inbox and found this from a person I respect very much, I do respect that person more than I love and admire her.
Pure and unique respect.
Have you ever felt that?
Respect that brings silence...
Respect that cover everything else.
So much respect that is scary.
So, it is a challenge to be around that person, because you have your own expectations of how you should be to be able to be that person friend. And then you behave up to expectations that are higher of the self-expectations you have about yourself.
Because of this respect is that this means so much to me.
I wanted to scream to the world today that this is what someone special thinks of me... Someone that if you all know you will wish to have as friend. I love you, and I love myself.
Tears in my eyes.
