I know I'm not perfect and now you do too, I love that you accept my marbles so full heartily. I was so scared you wouldn't understand or think of me differently, but you didn't in fact you just smiled and asked how to help me.
I know no one is perfect, but thank you for accepting my loose marbles!!! —My Marbles
“Oh, the cleverness of me!”, exclaims my Peter as yet another idea takes residence among the crowds gathered in his thoughtful head. This particular truth is the very reason that I, Wendy, sit among the stars, and lose myself in dreams of this boy's inconceivable ability. You know me not to be in need of rescue, however, you have saved me. I had lost all belief in this idea of 'love'; I thought it was not for me, or rather, I was not for it. But with your unwary curiosity for life and valiant efforts to do right by everyone, I knew that in every lover I'd be looking for you, had you denied me. Peter likes to dream as I do, but Peter doesn't just dream; Peter does. “Dreams do come true if only we wish hard enough...", Peter will whisper in my ear. Since the night we shared our first kiss, I've wished on every shooting star, that our dreaming will never end. —Wendy
This is to all of Halifax. I love you. This city, the people, the atmosphere, you swept me off my feet. The past ten months haven't been the easiest, and it breaks my heart to run back to my home province, but sadly it needs to be done. I've loved and lost, gone through good times and bad, and it was all in this beautiful east coast gem of a city. I will be back. —Optimistic Ontarian

Never have I met a guy for the first time and my mind goes blank, and just stops. The first time I met you when you started at work, I was instantly attracted to you. My over active brain actually stopped and was quiet. My reaction to you shocked and scared me because it was a first. I wanted to say you are so good looking, funny, smart and your smile (the best) lights up the room. Though I'm very shy, if we didn't work together I would ask you out for a coffee date. —Shy Coworker</b>
I watched you this summer be challenged every where you turned; with work, loss of family and other people you loved. You stumbled but you needed room to do that. You carried on and in the midst of other huge changes in your life, you started to laugh again, tell jokes again, be "You" again. I know sadness creeps in sometimes when you think of the people you have lost, but know that their life was made more rich for knowing you. Every day is a gift, you said to me, and while I don't like each day I treasure the lessons it teaches. You may never understand why people chose to leave, or why people die suddenly but you now know what strength is in you. I count myself lucky to be your friend and your confidante. I just need you to know that. —Red Fraggle
You’re awesome girl. It’s been a whirlwind since I met you a few weeks ago at an outdoors store — you looking for gloves for a winter hike. Since hanging out with you as ‘friends’ I’ve fallen hard. Classic beauty, outdoorsy, smart as a whip, always happy and laughing, and so darn sweet—with the body of a Baywatch babe to boot. You’ve been dodging bullets, dating guys who are obviously blind—and can’t match your pace—so I’m getting ready to plan a romantic session involving sleeping bags that zip together. Ready to get this fire started and watch sparks fly. —I'm The Fire Starter
I am gonna miss Mike Holmes and his great comic interpretations of Hali's greatest stories...Now THAT'S a true story! —Devoted Reader
When people get lonely enough they'll do anything. Including manipulating people. I'm so desperately lonely I've been sleeping with the most terrible people. No others will even give me the time of day. I'm not doing it for the sex either, just the company. I go months on end without ever being touched by another human. No pat on the back, no high fives, no holding hands... Ever feel like you just need a companion? A partner? A friend?
I'd really just love a genuine, warm, cozy hug from someone who loves me. —Less Than the Lonely Number One

I know, I need to entice you into the 'chase' that most men so desire. The truth is, you have won my heart already. We both like olives, but I believe we can make it work. Please don't be oblivious, I'm really bad at this! —Lavender Girl

Thanks for being a strong person. I see people who've gone through similar things, and their lives have been absolutely destroyed. How is it I can still trust people? Shouldn't I be one of those people with "trust issues"? Shouldn't I be an addict? What is it that makes me so strong? My upbringing? My friends? Some little unknown organ inside me? Maybe this is just me. I think I am actually pretty kickass, it's just taken me many years to realize it. Probably more years than I've even been on this planet. I haven't always been this way and I'm glad I'm around today to witness myself. Thinking back to those nights where I would've given anything to never wake up again will always bring tears to my eyes. But the great thing is that I have those tears, as well as pumping lungs and a heartbeat. I'm glad I'm still here with confidence and passion. I'm glad I've come to know what happiness is.
Shout outs to the furry ones! Especially the one on my lap. —It Does Get Better
