To suffer for that which you love is to live. To never suffer and still love but look down on those that do with malice and pity....that is ignorance. Those that suffer know the value of what they suffer for, because they feel it within every part of their soul.

Life will throw you curve balls, but it will also throw you roses. Do not be pessimistic about the thorns. For every bit of happiness must be balanced with a little pain.

It is all worth it to feel love even once in your entire life. I've been blessed with feeling loved four times in my life. Even if it ended horribly, I know at one time they actually loved me, and that's more than I honestly deserve.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Very very short: Happy Holidays, no matter what you celebrate. Be humble, as I'm happy just being alive and being with family this year. I couldn't ask for a better gift then being alive, being loved by family, friends, and my amazing boyfriend, and knowing that I'm safe.

Love you all!

Sapphira

Mister wonderful left today...and texted me not 2 minutes after driving off "Miss you already"....omg I cried so hard.

He's truly amazing. I swear I've never met a more down-to-earth guy who could be strong, gentle, affectionate, and playful all at the same time.

Good news is, not only did I get attached, but so did he. He might be back up here soon too, as we have Rodney Carrington playing at one of our casino's next month and his birthday is the 1st and his best friends is the 4th. So he might just be coming back up for that show and to see me. I hope we can make that work as not having him next to me is difficult. It's like a part of me went back to VA with him....

I'll survive and we will make it work. I love you my sexy southern elf boy

Well, all you need to know is that "Mr. Incredible" is indeed INCREDIBLE. hehe...put it this way....I'm not single anymore

He's everything, and I mean EVERYTHING I've been looking for in a man. Even look-wise he's perfect. He's kind and gentle, and in all honesty, I feel like an idiot for not seeing this in him sooner. I could have saved myself a LOT of heartbreak. He's healed a wound I didn't know still existed. In one day he's made me feel like the luckiest woman on earth

I wont give away who he is until he's ready to say it himself, but he IS on DA

Sleeping next to someone again after almost a YEAR of trying to sleep alone was heaven. No nightmares, and even tho I only slept maybe 3 hours, I'm fully refreshed and awake. I may curl back up with him once I get some stuff done. He loves to cuddle, which is one of the main things I've been lacking in relationships. A strong, kind, affectionate man who's not afraid to show that he cares.

Merry Christmas to me

So as the title says; things are looking up in my life. Got a fantastic guy coming up to see me, kinda back to talking to a dear friend of mine, starting to love the way I look (mostly thanks to mister incredible ), and getting some headway with a job, tho it's for a friend's father and I'd be lifting close to 80 pound boxes and there's no set time frame. Pretty much start work around 3:30am and stop whenever the job is done. Here's the best part tho, it's 10$ an hour. Granted, I've got major back issues stemming from my childhood all the way to the car hitting me back in April. This could pose a problem but at this point, I will take what I can get and NOT complain about it.

OMG only 4 DAYS until he comes up to visit!!!!!!!!!!!! I can NOT wait

Also, a good friend of mine came up with a compilation of lessons that everyone should learn. Here's his piece [link]

Seriously, it's very well written and well worth the read.

On a more serious note however, not all is well. I have recently begun having seizures, my first being last night. It lasted 4 and a half minutes. I don't know what may have caused it, but all I know is I do NOT like them at all

Well, That's all you guys get for now. Take care, have happy and safe Holidays, and may you get everything you ask for this Holiday season.

To answer that question: Not finished yet. I've been busy with other things, going to my friends band performances, hanging with friends, talking to seriously one of the greatest men I have ever had the privilege to know, dealing with family, working for my cousin and getting paid, dealing with the usual drama, oh and simply not caring who says what about me anymore

I've been busy having a LIFE again, and it feels GREAT. Granted, I feel terrible that so many works of art have been left unfinished and neglected by me, but I just haven't had the time or the heart to work on them right now. I'm super excited about this wonderful guy coming to visit me with a friend of his in literally, a WEEK, and talking to him every night is a distraction I do NOT mind always having

However, as much as I am head over heels for this man and he knows it, I'm not getting my hopes up too high this time. I don't want another disaster like Andrew or Ryan happening I have enough fun trying to get my friends to shut UP about one of them (Ryan) and trying to figure out WHY the other has been checking my page It's really very strange.

So other than the regular insane drama llamas from high school trolling my every move, dealing with random crap from one party, loving every second I speak to mister incredible who is coming to visit, having a life again, and finding friends I've known for literally 16 YEARS, nothing is really different.

Oh! I take that back, for the moment, I have two ADORABLE kittens living in my room They're twin brother and sister and sooooooo CUTE! I'm an auntie to 5 kitties now These two adore me tho. Always wanting to be near me. It feels SOOO GOOD to sleep and have kitties curled up with me.

So until I actually get my ass in gear to work on these sketches, you'll just have to be patient my little friends

Love ya all!

Sapph
