The Greatest Love of All

Dearest TASPers,
are there days when the things around you just aren't enough, when you find yourself looking out of rainy windows or listening to emo music and wondering "why do i matter?"
i know that sometimes i have those days, and just in case you all ever find yourself ever having a rough day, i leave you the words of Whitney Houston in hope that they will provide succor to your troubled hearts:

I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be So I learned to depend on me
Chorus: I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me

The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe that children are our future
each them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Chorus
And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

Seriously, though, find this song, learn the words, and belt it whenever you want to feel alright. I find that it has a little bit of a magical effect.

my apologies for the sappiness,
