In this world we live in, equally cruel and beautiful, sometimes we want simple human warmth literally out of the blue, when we least expect it. It's a feeling that seems almost forgotten these days. That is why, when we encounter something like this, we are invariably surprised.

For example, a few years ago, on the streets of London, one could see manifestations of a wonderful initiative - some uplifting messages addressed to anyone, including you and me. Small, large and simply huge - they could be found almost everywhere, and then their photos could be seen on this dedicated Instagram page called 'Seconds apart.'

This one would be absolutely right is the first part said "Being loved didn't hurt you" because being loved properly doesn't hurt. Loving somebody, OTOH, has plenty of potential for hurt.

    That's what I have with my husband, even after 23 years, and I'm so grateful for him! ❤️

    To all those who were (or still are) in a toxic, abusive family or relationship: big hugs. You are stronger than you think.

    I feel this way about those who I've lost. My dear friend Rachel Gidluck, who died at only 24 years old. My dad, who died in 2021 after being catastrophically brain-damaged and disabled from an accident in 2000. I may not be able to say this to them directly, but my heart says it to them.

    Absolutely. Now that it's been about 50 years after it happened I can actually tolerate a fair amount of disco.

    I waited for 7 years with the wrong kind of love, knowing deep down, that I was missing something. I found out, that I was right, when I met HIM, who showed me, how to love correctly and healhy.

    But abusers don't want to let you go. That want to keep you around to keep abusing you.

    I’ve NEVER understood the reason to re-visit someone that treated you shabbily.

    No. No it won't. My entire life has been nothing but "love" telling me it wants nothing to do with me.
