Every "bad" person we meet or see is our own desicion
we've taken in the past. We have acted likewise. By accepting
this person and the "bad", we can allow ourselves to
accept our own past and through it release ourselves :)

Midagi oskad hinnata alles siis, kui seda harva kohtad või oled selle nimel
kõvasti vaeva näinud :) / You can really appreciate something when you
seldom meet it or have really made an effort for it to happen :)

Kui Sa iga päev oskad millegi üle imestada nagu väike laps, võid nimetada end õnnelikuks inimeseks :) / If you can be amazed and excited about something like a child every day, you can call yourself a happy person :)

"Seek only to be genuine. Strive to be sincere. If you wish to undo all the "damage" you imagine yourself to have done, demonstrate that in your actions. Do what you can do. Then let it rest." Neale Donald Walsch

"Purify yourself and become dust. So that from your dust
Flowers can grow." Rumi / "Puhasta end ja saa põrmuks nii et su põrmust
võrsuda võiks lilled." Rumi

How to live without making faces to other people to be liked more by them?
How to say my truth and be honest in front of myself?
How to say: I'm wounded, please help: I don't really know what I'm going through.
How to dig out the worst in myself and let old wounds heal?
It's a bravery to meet ones wounds. It takes really good friends to help one with it. Thank you friends that you help me become a better person.
