Loong,
I'm glad you are well!
in regards to your night terrors, I posted/responded on the Night Terror thread.

"To be beautiful means to be yourself.
You don't need to be accepted by others.
You need to accept yourself."
~Thich Nhat Hanh

Well, this is many decades in the making, but gradually it is coming to pass.

I spend a lot of time alone, because I want to get to know me.

This relates to the false self and the true self.

I'm a tryin'

Hi Burt,

Some of these quotes are so true but hard to do. We all try and that alone is a "beautiful" thing.

I think this is my favorite quote of all time!!

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...
and unspeakable love."
~Washington Irving

"Some people think that to be strong is to never feel pain. In reality the strongest people are the ones who feel it, understand it and accept it."

"Good friends help you to find important things when you have lost them...
your smile,
your hope,
and your courage."
~Doe Zantamata

"Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got."
~Robert Brault

"Loneliness is missing the other.
Aloneness is finding oneself.
Out of aloneness, a totally new kind of love arises."
~Osho

Aloneness can be deconstructed into All-Oneness with life everywhere

I spend all day, every day alone, but hardly ever lonely.

By God's Grace Only.
