You only make a bridge

Where there is a river

I love that. It made me think of this song

I love it! In high school I was introduced to Simon & Garfunkel.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight]

Beautiful song about being there for someone

If you need a bridge I will be there for you... 🐬proverb

Adore this one, the words are so beautiful.

[Dolphin14 in reply to primrose81]

They do have such deep meaning. I think they speak louder to me now with my mental health struggles

I can build you a bridge if you need one. We are all here for each other

[primrose81]

Oh Starrlight, you have made me so happy - not that I would ever see myself as beautiful, far from it, but you are so kind to say so. So indeed are you - you ARE beautiful Starrlight and you shine brightly through every post you write xx

[Starrlight in reply to primrose81]

Primrose believe me when I say you ARE very beautiful. The goodness shines out from your inner soul. And you have made me happy now and I am tearing up too. It’s been such s hard night and day and as we come to another night I hope to sleep. Blessings to you. ✨ 🌙

And to you too dear Starrlight xx

Hi primrose. I'm going to rant at you for a moment, you've set me off.

Your words "not that I would ever see myself as beautiful, far from it" are a sad reflection on what we are taught, not born knowing. All our lives we are held to a scale no living person can match. Airbrushing is a lie! Hollywood is not in the truth business. Advertisers profit, feeding our insecurities.

Please imagine yourself looking in a mirror and telling them to F off! Repeat after me: "Hello gorgeous!" Give yourself a wink.

If you're a reader, try The Bluest Eye. It's -- 'scuse please -- eye opening.

Thank you for this Nothing-but-pain, have added this to my wanted list on Amazon. Will try the mirror thing too, will probably collapse into giggles though!

[Nothing_but_books in reply to primrose81]

Giggles are good. You made me laugh too.

Another song to remind us who we are.

Couldn’t get this - it said couldn’t show in my location or something, guess we can’t get it in UK which is a shame…
