Hi Sane Forumites
Just wanted to start a thread where people can share quotes, poems or parts of literature that can help them get through the tough times.
Feel free to tag anyone.
My contribution today is from Oscar Wilde:
"What seems to us as bitter trial are often blessings in disguise"

@MDT @Bunniekins @TAB dear Hamsolol, thanks for lovely poetry, I just feel I forgot what I have been through, but I just know I don't want to look back anymore, because it was darkness that makes me long for the morNings and mornings what I live for now. Thank you all for care and support.

Hi @Meowmy. I hear you. I keep telling myself to look forward but also acknowledge that I can do this and handle anything because I have been through this and so much more in my past... I just don't want to keep reliving it.

@Ali11 @MDT @Adge @Bunniekins @TAB my pain so pale that cannot be seen, yet memories so faint clouding the mind, the far reaching arms of Fate unforgiving, no not, to be, the lessons ought learnt, forgotten the dreams late deep in sleep were the truth that cannot be spoken, so he the one I loved at tender age, so lovely, smiles that lasted the teens, now afar are thus ones Fate desires to teach, I lie awake every night, tears upon the shadows of lonely moon.

Lovely & creative, yet also very sad @Meowmy
I cannot write poetry, although I am a good writer.
