What are words other than a messy jumble of letters
arranged and rearranged according to the sound assigned to them?

For me to say “thank you” is the most unoriginal way I can think of to express my sincere gratitude and amazement at everyone surrounding me in this wonderful community.

Now quite a while ago, I submitted a snippet of something much, much larger that was, and forever will be, meant for the love of my life, but which I also decided to share with all of you. Each of my pieces is a huge part of who I am, and this one is no different, so if you get anything out of it, just know that it is me, and in sharing it I am completely opening myself up to you.

The one thing that caused my heart to melt, rather than break, was the fantastic response it has generated! I am genuinely floored by the kindness and well-wishes I have received from all of you, either through an endearing comment or an add to the favorites list. In my honest vulnerability, you have managed to encourage me and support me rather than tear me down with envy or laugh at me for being in love. It is truly something everyone should be able to experience; I only hope you all find it, regardless of when, where, or with whom. And I only hope that person finds it in themselves to love you back unconditionally for whoever you are, not for who they want you to be, or who they expect you to be, or who they think you could be. It really is the greatest feeling in the whole world, and I’m honoured that I am able to share it with you through my writing.

Thank you for the endless opportunities to express my feelings, my being, my heart and soul with such beautiful people. I wouldn’t have it any other way :)

    Wow. What a fantastic ‘thank you’! I missed the piece but I will read it now and congratulations because love isn’t always easy to find but, when found, it’s the most wonderful thing a human can feel.

    than = thank

    damn, expressing my feelings articulately is like expressing milk from a barren pair of tits! ;-)

I could not find the right word to leave a comment… and I still can’t… as inadequate as this is… Thank you Lys for writing this and sharing a part of your innocent beautiful ‘whole’ heart….

    I will send few more mails to japan, Russia, Norway, France and Italy…I want all world to read something i experienced only one in my life. It was magical experience when some one allowed you to fly into his heart as a butterfly in the spring garden and swim as a golden fish in a emerald ocean.
