Bravery is that you make living your life and loving your loves more important to you than fearing your fears, and then you just do what you have to. People call you brave for it. It's just a matter of having different priorities, to me. ~ Heidi Hickman

EVERYTHING. Really, I mean it, I just like to learn EVERYTHING I can. Right now I'm learning sign language. I've an interest in anything that can better me, the world around me, or the people around me.
Here are some random things I like - Reiki, anything metaphysical or psychic related, herbs, stones, magick, fitness, learning of religions (I can't claim an organized religion. i'm very spiritual. God is my driving force in everything.) animals, writing, photography, nature, reading, martial arts, empathy, learning, drawing, poetry, weaponery, computers, the human mind, meditation, kids (as long as I can return them to the owner! lol) And even if i'm not actively interested in something, I want to know about it. My passion for learning and growing drives me in all that I do.

A PSALM OF LIFE
WHAT THE HEART OF THE YOUNG MAN
SAID TO THE PSALMIST
TELL me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream ! —
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real ! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal ;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way ;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle !
Be a hero in the strife !
Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant !
Let the dead Past bury its dead !
Act,— act in the living Present !
Heart within, and God o'erhead !
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time ;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate ;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

My mom. For being the strongest and most beautiful perosn i know. she's beaten alcoholism, breast cancer and was robbed not once BUT TWICE at gun point. yet she can still laugh about it. :)
Also my animal friends that I surround myself in. Their ability to love unconditionally and forgive, puts me in awe.
You are a Shamanic Empath. You are at one with nature and can speak with animal/plant life. Your powers come from the Sun & the Moon, and the elements. The weather moves with your mind and all of nature is at your beck and call. (from The Book of Storms by Jad Alexander at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Empaths/)

A year ago there wasn't much to say about me. I was just a product of a cunfusing mass of traumas, hopeful wishes, and delusions with no real structure. I moved to California from West Virginia in search of something. I thought I'd just came to get a new persepective on life. To get my head on straight. What I found though, was so much more than I could have imagined. I found me. Through the circumstances that I've had to face out here, I've had to dig down deep and find out who I really am. And I have. And I'm amazing :) No I'm not being arrogant. Far from it. I'm expressing a love of myself, a respect of myself that I've never had before. Lord, my family thought I was crazy for moving so far away on a whim. But I know you brought me here, and I thank you every day for it, and for helping me to get through. For taking care of me as only you can. I pray you continue to watch over me, and I pray that you watch over my loved ones that are so far away from me.
SO, this is me. :) I'm very spirtual, and open minded. I love nature, and animals. I see the good in everything and tend to beleive that people, even the worst of them, are at their very core capable of being good and wonderful. I'm non-judgemental. I'm going to school for Sign Language and English, am in a relaionship with my best friend, and have about the greatest roommate in the world :) (not to mention my totally FABULOUS and AMAZING pet rats!!! Flick and Scamp, MY BABIES! :)
Empathy is not a trait, it's a way of being...or even a type of being, however you'd like it put. tho that doesn't actually make me crazy...it makes me seem like I am at times. even to myself.....bleh.....Sanity where'd ya go?
who knows. maybe everything really is in my head. but isn't that how the world works? everything is based on perception. one person sees the world as blue, the other sees it as green, and they are both right. It's all in perception, how one preceives the world around them. crazy? probably. but if in my life i help just one person....nothing was in vain. the worlds so screwed up anyway....whats one more nut?
One last thing about me - I take every opportunity I see to help others. You could say it's my calling.
This looks familiar, vaguely familiar
Almost unreal, yet, it’s too soon to feel yet
Close to my soul and yet so far away
I’m going to go back there someday
Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls
Is that a song there, and do I belong there?
I’ve never been there, but I know the way
I’m going to go back there someday
Come and go with me, it’s more fun to share
We’ll both be completely at home in mid-air
We’re flyin’ not walkin’ on featherless wings
We can hold onto love, like invisible strings
There’s not a word yet, for old friends who just met
Part Heaven, part space, and have I found my place
You can just visit, but I plan to stay
I’m going to go back there someday
Я хочу найти: I enjoy the occasional eccentric. In general i like meeting people of all sorts. I like to observe people, they are fickle creatures. But when it comes to long term, like friendships, I don't do too well. i'm kind of more or a loner i guess. perfering my animals, writing, and reading books to the company of people most days. I stress out easily, and panic in crowds, so i like to lead an easy, simple, quiet, homely life.
I do enjoy meeting people like myself, that the majority of humanity has deemed, different. Just to remind me, that being different, though sometimes hard, isn't always bad.
What I DON'T like, are people that fill their lives with drama. I mean, more power to you, but i'm drama free which is why i like to be alone and like my animals and books. theres no drama or chaos there. :) I'm a easy going small town girl, and the saying is true. you can take the girl outta the country but not the country outta the girl. Yes i'm in a fast paced, over populated, over priced, HUGE state/city/county. But my mentality is still that of a small town girl.

I dont know if I'm a "twilight fan" But I do like the story New Moon. I guess you could say I like bits and pieces of The Twilight saga....if that makes any sense hehe.
So what's Cali like this time of year? It's awfully beautiful over here with the trees changing. Of course I like the crisp air too. It's so invigorating.
Thousands of miles off, behind countless mountains passes, you make me grieve. Do you know that? Since you left I've counted the leftover days in winter, waited out spring. Still not one word. All the flowers have bloomed and you are still gone.
*Blushes* Thanks Corb!!!! I looked in the mirror today and realized that the lady that said that musta been fuckin' retard cuz this bitch has got more curves than a country hillside and she knows how to use em!!!! Haha that didn't last long.....~MUAH~ Love you see you soon!!!!!!!
