I've said this several times tonight...this morning...When I started darkness I never thought that I would have to write an essay about each and every rule to explain things. Now I know that I do have to explain things more because not everyone sees things the way I do and it doesn't do anyone any real good just to say "because I said so".
Taken from blog post "ahh confusion and rules" posted August 4, 2009
No real need to say it again huh? I'm sorry it irritates me when people argue with me about the rules...Ryan, though I know you don't read this often but I hope you see it this time. I'm sorry for snapping at you. You were just asking for clarification which usually doesn't bother me. I don't know why I reacted like that. It was wrong of me. If you want me to take this down all you have to do is ask I just couldn't think of any other way to leave a message for you. I wasn't ignoring you before you left I got called to help others.
For everyone else, Sorry I haven't posted anything or even been on so much lately. My adopted grandmother's been in the hospital and one of my father's employees quit. So my mother's been working in their place...everything else has fallen back on me and it's kind of exhausting...I don't know why it's not that hard...I haven't felt well rested in 2 weeks at least. All I do is take care of my younger siblings clean and cook. No big deal right? It's just...difficult to keep up with it all I guess...but once again I don't fully understand why....Plus it doesn't change the fact that I'm exhausted.
In Darkaness news it's been requested that I put up a Halloween background which I might when I get the chance. If you have anything in mind leave me a comment. Also, I have a mini-contest in mind that I will be posting here eventually. I already know what I'm going to do it's a matter of having the time to do it. ^_^
Now something interesting for you to read!
This is the story of the most foolish traveler in the world.
Once upon a time, there was a foolish traveler who had gone on a journey. why was he foolish? well, because he was fooled by everyone he met!
everywhere he went, people made up all kinds of sad stories to tell him, and the traveler fell for every one of them.
please, some money for medicine…?
i have a sick younger sister…
i don’t have money to buy seeds to plant in my fields.
pretty soon, his money, his clothes, even his shoes had been cheated away from him.
however, the foolish traveler was always glad to help. for everyone of them, he’ll smile and say, “i wish you happiness.”
but by this point, the traveler was completely naked, and with nothing left to cover himself, he decided to leave the main road and travel through the dense forest, where no one could see him…
soon, he was discovered by the goblins that lived in the woods. the goblins wanted to eat the traveler’s body, so they begged and pleaded, and used kind words to try and trick him…
of course, the traveler was fooled. first, he let the goblins eat one of his legs. then an arm. then more and more…before it was over, all that the traveler had left was his head. he’d even given his eyes away to the last of the goblins…
and as the last goblin was eating the traveler’s eyes, he turned and said “thank you, traveler. in return, i leave you this present.”
what the goblin left was a slip of paper, with the word “fool” written on it. the traveler couldn’t see it. he didn’t know what it was. even so, tears began to flow down his face. “thank you,” he said. “this is the first present anyone ever gave me. i’m so happy. i’m so happy. thank you.”even without his eyes, he cried and cried great tears of joy. then, the traveler died, with a smile on his face.
and that’s…the end of the story.
i close my eyes and think about him a little bit longer. i think about how he had given everything away, until all he had left was his head…and how at the end, he still cried for joy as he said thank you.
and then i realize…i feel sorry for him.
see? loss, hardship, things like that? you can’t only focus on them. the traveler didn’t…he never thought about his own troubles at all.
i imagine that it probably does sound really foolish to some people. but i don’t think he’s foolish at all. even though other people probably think he was being tricked? i don’t think he was. i think he did exactly what he wanted to do.
i think, more than anything, he just wanted to make others happy.
what do you think? really? is that foolish? when you close your eyes and think about it, is that what it is?

Wow. . . . Eerrrrrr. I hope it's a writing contest because that's all I know how to do. xP
The Story has very much meaning and I never heard of it. So thank you for expanding my mind once again with your words and postings.
Why wish to not be selfish when all you really have to do is Close your eyes? It wasn't foolish at all and with all the things you do for you family, you maybe selfish but it's not even closely looked at for as much as you do for them it's compared as just a minor setback.
Believe that nothing is impossible and love yourself before all others.
I <3 You. You know that. So stop worring and thinking so much about the future and surviving. Just think about the present and live on from it.
To be honest all you can really do is try to be as great as you can in life. If you can just try then you have succeeded because trying is what they will remember most about you.

It is a kind of poetry contest and you will probably win because no one else really reads this thingy much lol.
