More Messages

Looking back, I can't believe how far I have come in my life. I never imagined that I would travel the world, jetting from amazing place to amazing place. Meeting wonderful people from all over the world, getting to know how much I have in common with them and being cherished by them.

Oh, and my mom loves me.

Here's some great messages from the Broadway cast of Chicago.

What will happen to your world

When I was young I felt everything very intensely, and I imagine it was because my experience was not very wide or deep - I grew up in a small town, and seemed to know everyone I came into contact with.

Looking back now, I can see that my world was actually very small - that I had no idea the places I would go and the experiences that I could have.  It was literally beyond my imagination at the time.

In a few years, you could feel the same way.

Ellen's video

I'm not a fan of Ellen Degeneres, but she had some good things to say.

Still in shock

It's been about a week of hearing about kids losing their way, and choosing to end their lives - and I'm still in shock.
I wish I could have been there to find a way to get through to even one of them. To tell them to hang on.
I wish they didn't get to that place where everything seems so dark and hopeless. I would tell them that it may be dark, but not hopeless.
