you is

I have a million things going through my head right now, and I just know I can't possibly write it all in the one post. So I thought I'd share with you a quote tonight, one of my favourites from the movie THE HELP.

"You is Kind, You is Smart, You is Important."

Kind, smart, important -- those are the three areas family makes us feel, or at least fools us into thinking that we're not lacking in. And I love that. Family does that without us even realising it; but truly, they do. It's kind of awesome, and we don't feel like we don't deserve it, because let's face it, family is the kind of people who will tell you you look crap first thing in the morning (mum is living proof of it, the woman does not lie to me), so they're (probably too) honest.

I'm realising now that you probably can't connect with the quote all that much seeing as you haven't seen the movie, but when it was said, I couldn't help but think that those who care about us constantly regurgitate that quote and remind us that we are Kind, Smart and Important... just in different ways.
