I feared being alone
until I learned to like myself.

I feared failure until I realized
that I only fear when I don't try.

I feared success until I realized I had
to try in order to be happy with myself.

I feared other people's opinions until I learned
that people would have opinions about me anyway.

I feared rejection until
I learned to have faith in myself.

I feared pain until I learned
that it is necessary for growth.

I feared the truth until
I saw the ugliness in lies.

I feared life until
I experienced it's beauty.

I feared death until I realized
that it is not and end, but a beginning.

I feared my destiny until I realized
that I have the power to change my life.

I feared hate until I saw
that it was nothing but ignorance.

I feared ridicule until
I learned how to laugh at myself.

I feared growing old until
I realized that I gained wisdom every day.

I feared the future until
I realized that life just kept getting better.

I feared the past until
I realized it could no longer hurt me.

I feared the dark until
I saw the beauty of the starlight.

I feared the light until
I learned that the truth would give me strength.

I feared change until I saw
that even the most beautiful butterfly
had to undergo a metamorphosis
before it could fly.

[> Is it my computer, or there no wallpaper any more? And who has the password for this board please??? -- Martina, 07:17:59 05/04/04 Tue

[> I was wondering the same thing myself, Martina. I began thinking that someone should take responsibility for deleting spam or posts from the turkeys out there-LOL. We could also play with the wallpaper on a regular basis. -- Keira, 12:54:46 05/04/04 Tue

[> Hi! my old password doesn't seem to work; it was originally Jennifer, Melissa and I...ages ago, but I think someone must have taken over, in my absence my email account got closed, tho I've resurrected it again just recently. I do seem to get mail as "assistant manager" so I'll try to find out. Maybe..Christine? is it you? or JeanClaire? -- Viive, 15:00:29 05/04/04 Tue

[> Hi .... i think Christine has the KEY! Maybe I still do .. if someone wants to try it, you can email me and I'll pass it along. I personally will screw it up if I dive into the masterscreen!. Hi Viive! -- melissa, 06:43:28 05/05/04 Wed

[> [> ((((Melissa)))) I can't even email you, i lost all my addies some time ago. *hanging my head in shame* Has something changed around here, do we need to PAY to be signed in members of VoyForums? Or ... ? Does the same old 'key' work? or was it changed? -- *hugging you* Viive, 23:15:36 05/16/04 Sun
