Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Learning to live and trust


--by speedyfrade, posted Jun 8, 2016
Since I was a kid I liked to be left alone with my own thoughts, I was always wondering around, I was a day dreamer: not an action girl - I rather be painting or just playing with my dolls or legos.

Then school came and I was "forced" to know others kids, to learn how to get along, and sometimes It was a very hard issue to me. I took very seriously every harsh and bullying event towards myself and that made me to grow up with less and less hope in humanity.

I became a very shy girl with huge dreams, and very large fear of others.I always thought I was meant to be alone: and I was prepared to be later in life got engaged and moved in with my beloved. I've completed my studies, after 15 years we had a baby.

But even now, in my gut I don't feel it's easy going. I still need "my moments", I need to be alone: even if it's just for 10 minutes.
This winter I found meditation, after my new episode of depression and simultaneously I've found this wonderful community.

I don't know anyone here - but that's not the point, right? I get a lot of inspiration and ways of seeing and living life - I learn to be different, I dare to be different and I feel I'm growing inside.I'm in an office full of people, feeling somewhat alone: this online place is one of my refugees - a sanctuary of kindness.

Thank you all for all the stories, quotes, and inspirational sharings.
Big kiss and Hugs for each of you! Accept them from the heart.

PS: Before this community, I wasn't even able to finish my statements like this (with open heart, with no fear of getting hurt or abused).
