Why is it that rejection makes us doubt ourselves and make us feel like we're not good enough?

thought 1:

I'm really glad you've found someone who makes you happy.

I know sometimes it doesn't seem that way but it's the truth.

I'm happy for you.

I'm just finding it upsetting that I have to lose another friend over lovers.

You're one of the few people with whom I can easily express myself and now I can't talk to you anymore.

i have a million things in my head...

countless words that need to be spoken.

but my lips can't seem to part,

and my mouth has suddenly lost it's ability to utter.

that's where you're wrong

see, what i saw is not a chance for them to shake HER faith.

what i saw was a chance for her to shake theirs.

i know you think i'm twisted and faithless--but you're wrong.

i just think in a way that's different from yours.

how come your grass is greener than mine?

another loss to live through...to face, with sadness and a heavy heart.
there's something about losing them...what's scary is realizing that they may never think of you again;

that when they see you one day, they would not recall the time they've spent with you, or remember what you have done for them....

i will ALWAYS remember you...all of you (because you changed me and you changed my life too).

can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?

happy 40th birthday Sesame Street
