Life is painful; Suffering is optional. ~Sylvia Boorstein
Words that I live by. Life is about opportunities with no regrets. Suffering can only ever truly be self inflicted. I consider regrets suffering: a result of one's own choice(s). I am not cruel nor unkind, usually, however I -am- a sinic in that I don't have time to waste on other's delusions. If you cannot face and interact with reality, you may not face and interact with me.
Artinthedark is mine and I am possessive of him (or her depending on how my little one is dressed). He is making wonderful progress under my care and I will not tolerate anyone interfering with that progress. At this time he is without restriction from me; though that does not speak of the restrictions he may choose to place upon himself. ... For those that take this situation as a poaching challenge: I will respond, to your lame attempt at sabotage in order to boost your own ego, on his account and you will be blocked. He shows me all of them when he feels it is inappropriate.
I do not actively seek anyone. People are together because they choose to be, not because they need to be. It is that power of choice; the will to choose based off of -honest- desires that helps to define us to ourselves, and thus, to the world. If you cannot make the leap in your own mind... I cannot help you any further.
