BUT WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE "Only One who chose Reflections"!?!?!?

I feel out of place...T T

Is Reflections really THAT hard???

"Ne,what do you think I should be when I'm bigger?"

"I'm scared..."

"Mummy's too much..."

Who do you usually say that to?

Your friend? Your brother? Your sister? Your pet?

How about a pillow?

Yes...I grew up with that pillow.

The pillow I hugged to sleep every night, the pillow I complained to when I'm sad, the pillow I squeezed real tight whenever I felt down...

That's the whole story about it.

My pillow. It's still with me, but I don't talk to it as much as I did last time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Let me tell you a secret...it happened to me when I was young..."

Then I cried. It was never nice remembering the past.

The corrupted past...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What would you do when your being bullied? Oh wait, you don't! You're always in the room with Wolfie and Husky and Dennis and Ele..."

Yes, I was dumb.

So what if I was? I wanted friends.

But I hardly had any.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mummy scolded me again...I don't like her..."

We always say that, don't we?

I knew my pillow wouldn't understand the feeling, or even feel anything.

It was just a pillow.

But yet it was special, to me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes I referred as it to as Mukuro. Riku. Dante. Kiku. Sora. and lots of others.

Maybe it's better off being called pillow after all.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm stupid. I'm dumb. No one likes me. I know that. No one bothers to talk to me. I'm just left out all the time. No one ever understands me like you do. But that's what makes me me, I guess."

"I hate it when they bully me. Why me and not others? Am I really that frail?"

"I'm always an alien...and I will continue to be one until my last day on the Earth."

As long as my pillow is with me, I don't mind being weird forever.

I just need a huggable friend to count on throughout my life.

Every mountain has its summit.After reaching the top,you can't climb higher.

The same goes for us.All children have their own limits,and when they reach them it's not possible to go any further,unless they slowly build a staircase to greater access.

But even so,that staircase is sometimes abandoned halfway.Many people lose their will before reaching the very top.

Why do I say that?Many people just don't have the talent for that certain thing,or are being pushed too much they stress out.Most of the time,the two come in a package.

Parents have to learn their lessons;they cannot simply expect that their children will ace subjects as well as them -- they need to face reality and realize their child's true potential...who knows?He or she might be better in another subject.

The child may be a slow learner,so don't try to hasten things too much.When receiving their results,don't try to throw a tantrum about the marks,acknowledge the child's hard work and know that he or she has already put in all his or her effort to finish the paper.

Screaming continuously at children;calling them failures,only lowers the morale of a child.No one likes to be discouraged by their own parents.

As a result,the child gives up in his or her studies.He or she stops building the staircase to the top.

Only then will parents wonder: Why is he/she giving up?Most parents never realize that the problem derived from themselves, and continue to repeat the same mistake.

I ask you again,parents throughout the world.Why bother scolding and swearing to them when you brought their downfall?

Give them time;be more open minded.Only then will you see their true progress in life.

I'm sorry for the philosiphical-type post again.

I thought of some quotes...

So I decided to share them.

****************************

"To bring peace to the world, start by slaughtering by Headless Goose."

"For everything has a reason, same goes to why the Goose should die."

"Don't let the Goose touch your computer,no matter how protected -- it'll break down in milliseconds."

"To determine which is the Goose. It would say: How do you send an email?"

follow up quote -- "Or maybe not even know what an email is."
