"You need to examine your motives."
"Why, what?"
"These self destructive things you do; you need to understand why you do them."
"I don't know what you mean. I don't do this stuff on purpose."
"You don't THINK you do, but deep down inside, you KNOW you do."
"No. No I don't. I just don't know when to stop, that's all."
"But why do you start? What do you think drives you? Anger? Hurt? Fear?"
"I ain't afraid of nuthin'."
"Did someone hurt you? Is that why you hurt yourself?"
"I guess that's what we have to examine, ain't it?"
Catherine Ryan Hyde, the woman who wrote the book "Pay It Forward", has posted a 'video excerpt' for her book "Love in the Present Tense". The video is here. Keep in mind as you view this well done video that SHE DID the video stuff HERSELF.

That was great. Thanks for sharing the link.

Very well said. Kind of goes along with some BS i"m dealing with right now- ready to give up on some old friends just because I'm so sick of all the excuses.
