The Bottom Line Just show some love and make someone smile... Today!!

Have you ever just felt sad, and you think you have nothing good to give to the world, do you ever feel lost or lonely? Do you think that you are no good and everyone, is laughing at you (well in my case they are most of the time)? Well I’m sure most people do at one stage in the life. Isn’t it wonderful to have someone who you can talk to and who will gladly help out with all your problems?

Love, and affection are to of the most precious things in life, don’t you think. With one thing or another I’ve been under a lot of stress and pressure (and yes even though I’m only young I do know the meaning of the words stress and pressure.)

About three years ago when I was either 11-12 years old, my Mum’s parents, tried to take me away from my Mum. You know court orders?? Well they tried to get one of them over me, so that they could have me for a certain amount of days each week. They hated my Dad (mind you I don’t like him sometimes) and that’s why they wanted to screw my family into the ground. So most of my life has been some kind of struggle or emotional difficulty.

I have so many friends who are there for me and who help me. One if the best friends a person could ever had is Smile2k1 or Abi *excuse me whilst I wipe the tears from my eyes* Having friends is one thing, but having one or two loving, caring and cherishing parents is another. My Mum is always there for me. You know how Mum’s are, and if you are a Mum you are one of the best and luckiest people in the world. Money isn’t everything, but having a loving family and many good friends is everything a girl could wish for.

I often think about what I would do if my Mum died *she says as the tears one by one drip down her face*. Who would I turn to? Who would give me cuddles and help me when I’m down? Who would have cradled me when I was young and sung me lullabies to get me off to sleep on a night?? All these things you take for granted everyday. I couldn't even think about my Mum dying.

I mean if I could I wouldn't be crying so much now would I? I hope that everyone gets on with their Mum's. One of my friend's Mum died, about 8 years ago, but she copes with it fine. She has a very lovely dad, he's very funny, just like she is!!

Basically in a long winded kind of way, what I’m trying to say is, if you aren’t a very affectionate person or you aren’t very touchy-feely, then to show that you really care you have to, give yourself, not money, but as a person. Show everyone how much you care, by now and then giving some words of wisdom. Giving cuddles and kisses, or even for you men (Like my dad does when he’s showing me he loves me) stroke me and kiss me on the head.

I know that, without the love and care I get from my friends but especially from my parents, I would be a lost cause. I would be so messed up that you wouldn’t be able to explain it. I know, that there are some great people on Epinions, and some Mum’s, who say how proud they are of their bundles of joy. Just by looking at them I can see how nice and kind they are.

There are a few nastier people, who go around writing reviews on how good people being killed is. But the majority are wonderful, individual human beings, all with a purpose, that has been given to them by God, when they were born.

If anyone in your family is having problems, just sit them down and ask them what’s the matter. Talk to them, make them feel wanted. I can guarantee this will cheer them up in no time, my Mum helps me, so YOU can help, anyone, when you put your mind to it.

It isn’t about buying them gifts. I have don’t get many material possessions, but the love and honesty and affection I get from my parents, is an infinite times better, than gifts and money. People with money aren’t always happy, it isn’t the be all and end all.

You may think that I’m a stupid child that knows nothing to do with anything. But this may be true most of the time. I know what my parents do for me and how they help me through bad and hard times. Even if you think you don’t know how, just look inside your heart and you will find what you are looking for.

To make someone smile, give him or her a cuddle or kiss and just talk to him or her. One of the best cures for depression is when you know that you are cared for and wanted!
