The teacup

There was a couple who took a trip to England to shop in a beautiful antique store to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. They both liked antiques and pottery, and especially teacups. Spotting an exceptional cup, they asked “May we see that? We’ve never seen a cup quite so beautiful.”
     As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke, “You don’t understand. I have not always been a teacup. There was a time when I was just a lump of red clay. My master took me and rolled me pounded and patted me over and over and I yelled out, “Don’t do that.” “I don’t like it!” “Let me alone,” but he only smiled, and gently said; “Not yet!”
     Then. WHAM! I was placed on a spinning wheel and suddenly I was spun around and around and around. Stop it! I’m getting so dizzy!
     “I’m going to be sick” I screamed. But the master only nodded and said, quietly; ‘Not yet.’
     He spun me and poked and prodded and bent me out of shape to suit himself and then ….. then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I yelled and knocked and pounded at the door. “Help! Get me out of here!”
     I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head from side to side, ‘Not yet’.
     When I thought I couldn’t bear it another minute, the door opened. He carefully took me out and put me on the shelf, and I began to cool. Oh, that felt so good! “Ah, this is much better,” I thought. But, after I cooled he picked me up and he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. ‘Oh, please,Stop it, Stop, I cried.
     He only shook his head and said. ‘Not yet!’.
     Then suddenly he put me back in to the oven. Only it was not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I just knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I screamed. I cried. I was convinced I would never make it. I was ready to give up. Just then the door opened and he took me out and again placed me on the shelf, where I cooled and waited and waited, wondering “What’s he going to do to me next?”
     An hour later he handed me a mirror and said ‘Look at yourself.’ And I did. I said, “That’s not me; that couldn’t be me. It’s beautiful. I’m beautiful!”
     Quietly he spoke: “I want you to remember, then,’ he said, ‘I know it hurt to be rolled and pounded and patted, but had I just left you alone, you’d have dried up. I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you would have crumbled. I know it hurt and it was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn’t put you there, you would have cracked. I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn’t done that, you never wo uld have hardened. You would not have had any color in your life. If I hadn’t put you back in that second oven, you wouldn’t have survived for long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a finished product. Now you are what I had in mind when I first began with you.”


    Dont give up yet k? :) You're not finished yet.

HEY YJ!

Hey so this blog was made just for you. Feeling honoured yeah? :) A genius is making a blog just for you.

Anyway I was just thinking about when you said that its impossible to forget or think about other things. So yeah this is kinda to help you do just that. Yes I know this might not be the very BEST of solutions but I couldn't think of anything better than a blog :/ Maybe thats why my PI sucks hahaha. K dont think about that PW has no place in this blog.

The purpose of this blog is to let you see just how beautiful life is. Or just how beautiful life CAN BE. If you would only open your eyes to the good stuff! And I'm no tech savvy person. It took me more than an hour to figure this thing out. And yes I still have last draft to submit tomorrow. So PLEASE just try to forget the world when you see visit this blog. Think of everything GOOD and dont even CONSIDER hurting yourself or doing anything stupid. Like seriously.

"It's always darkest before the dawn"

K maybe its not scientifically true, but you get the point. Life gets better. Have you seen the sun rise before? Like one moment its dark, and the next, there's light. Yeah, it happens that fast. Sometimes its hard to believe its that quick, but it is. And I wouldn't know any better, but maybe, just maybe, life is like that. Maybe if you hold out for just a little while longer, it'll suddenly get better. I'm not saying its definite, but I'm saying that there's a good chance. And when it DOES get better, you will be EXTREMELY glad you didn't do anything stupid to yourself.

So just LIVE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :D

Oh and listen to the songs. Its like the happy/relaxing/awesome songs that I can think of right now. Or those that aren't copyrighted.. :/ Let me know if you like them haha I can send you via msn or something.
