Anybody care to share anything that could lift someone's spirit, mood, if only for some brief moments in time.
I understand that in certain cases, it's not always possible. We have the jokes discussion, which I love, but we're not always looking for a joke, especially feeling drained, feeling down, there are other things that give us joy and beauty, like poems, quotes, a beautiful image, or an inspiring and moving video clip.
I need to see things like this myself from time to time, to know there is beauty outside our immediate problems.
It gave me chills and sadness to hear her story and witness something so beautiful from someone so young. Yes, I welled up. Amazing confidence to sing in front of such a large crowd...well, you check it...

In anyone is wondering what the translation is it's below; I didn't need to see the translation to know she was singing something so moving.
Here You Go
Listen to me, a wannabe singer
Talk about me, to your lovers, to your friends
Tell them about this girl with black eyes and a foolish dream
I, I only want to write stories that will reach you
and that's all
Here, here, here, this is who I am
Here I am, and even though I'm exposed, I'm afraid, yes
Here I am, both in the noise and the silence
Look at me, or at least at what's left of me
Look at me, before I hate myself
What can I tell you that other lips won't?
It ain't much, but all that I have, I've put it there
Here you go
Here, here, here, this is who I am
Here I am, although exposed, it's the end
It's my mouth, it's my cry, but hey, never mind
Here, here, here, here is
me, my dream, my envy, here's how I die, here's how I laugh
Here I am, both in noise and silence
Don't go, I beg you to stay for a long time
it may not save me, no
but I don't know what to do without you
Love me like one loves a friend that's gone forever
I want to be loved, because I don't know how to love my contours
Here, here, here, this is who I am
Here I am, even if I'm exposed, it's the end
Here I am, in the noise and in the fury too
Look at me, finally, look into my eyes and my hands
Everything I have is here, it's my mouth, it's my cry
Here I am, here I am, here I am
here,
here
Here you go
It's okay if this discussion fizzles out. At least I got to share some thing beautiful with you.
Super optimistic. Hopefully it’s true.
“It's remarkable now that I think about it, she's the only person I've ever known who I just want to be with 24/7/365. Never need a break from her, if anything I want skip sleeping so there's more time together.”
I definitely wish to achieve this one day.
- Seems relevant for the times we're living in.
ps I might need some kind of nap in between days :) I know... it wasn't mean to taken literally.
of course - "herself" & "she" too, these days.
- this one personally speaks to me.
Might not be to everyone's taste.
A nice quote to lift your spirits:
“To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest.”
Just a perfect day, drink Sangria in the park
And then later, when it gets dark, we go home
Just a perfect day, feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie too and then home
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
Just a perfect day, problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own, it's such fun
Just a perfect day, you made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else, someone good
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
