Born in darkness under Her light, I often wondered how Luna could shine so brightly when all the stars vied for attention. How could She shine so bright when so many around Her dared to diminish Her radiance? I wondered for years how She could shine and give off such a soft loving glow.
Seven years ago I found my answer. Seven years ago I realized how She could shine when so many others dared to show that they were brighter. It was the sun, Her sun, Sol. He gave His light so that She may shine brightly and guide others to their strength and purpose.
It was seven years ago that I found myself with my life partner, my sun. He has given me the strength to allow myself to shine brightly in the darkness and to show others that there is always a reason to shine.
In spring, I find myself enjoying seven years having been with my love and fourteen years calling him my best friend. Come winter, when the nights grow long, and the darkness dares to claim the world I will end the first year of my new life. I will be a year closer to a true life time with my new husband, my sun light in the darkness. And as Luna shines with the love of Sol, I too shine with the love of my life partner.
And as the moon radiates her light, I too shine with Sun-kissed Moonlight.
A little about myself...
My name is Kassie Renee Lee and I am 25 years old and happily a newly wed. My husband and I have known each other 14 years and have been together for 7. My relationship often confuses and amazes people because they don't hear of relationships lasting as long as ours has with people in my age group.
I am artistic in a unique way in which I personify my artistic abilities through cooking rather than through drawing, painting, or even writing. Though I do enjoy writing, I prefer reading so much more.
I am a proud and admitted nerd. I play dungeons and dragons, magic the gathering, video games, and even enjoy some PC games here and there. My prefered games are RPGs, though I do secretly enjoy Harvest Moon and Rune Factory... though that's not much of a secret anymore lol
My religious beliefs are that of my own. I am not a Christian, though I do believe in God. I classify myself as Wiccan, though I view Jehovah as one of my deities of worship. I also follow in Selene's path as well, having been born under a full moon and I have always felt a profound connection to her.
I have a very high religious tolerance. I do not care what anyone else worships, how they worship, or who. I just do not want someone shoving their religion down mine or anyone else's throat. This is not the crusades. We can all play nice and get along...
A bit more about myself...
At the age of 20 I had a random pancreas attack which I learned was called pancreatitis. It is an inflammation of the pancreas and causes great pain. It was an acute attack, lasted for a few days and I was done. Later that year, it happened again, though the second time lead to acute kidney failure due to dehydration. Since then my condition has been labeled Chronic Pancreatits as my pancreas doesn't want to work properly and refuses to play nice. At the age of 25 now, I have had my gall bladder removed, an ERCP to help correct a valve problem, and even survive my life on several medications that seem to do little more than stave off the pain I life with anymore.
Because of what I have experienced, I have very little sympathy for those who cry and whine about life. I do try to understand and I do know that everyone experiences the same things in different ways through out their lives, but I hate it when people use a small illness as a crutch to get out of doing daily activities when there are other people like myself who suffer constantly and do nothing but strive to live a normal life through what ever pain we feel.
Am I heartless person because of this? Far from it. I am a loving and caring person by nature. Will I come out and tell someone "stfu. your whining annoys me"? No. I always try to help others see the brighter side in life, whether it be in general or their own. It is when one can tell that someone is actively seeking attention that I refuse to acknowledge what it is they are doing. I give little sympathy to those who make it a goal in their lives to live and feed off of the feelings and emotions of others.
Aside from all this, there are no children in my future. As of right now, I am being selfish and taking care of myself first. With my condition, pregnancy could be difficult, which is leading me to speak to multiple doctors to find answers before I bring another life in to this world to take care of when I am still trying to figure myself out. I know children are in my future, but it is not something I am quite ready for.
Another aspect of myself that I rarely speak of is that I am spiritually aware. I have been since I was a child and though I sometimes wish it were gone, the times I have had my abilities supressed have made me appreciate those talents.
I am also what I call a "Human Crystal". I absorb negative energy from those around me and release positive, cleansed energy. This often times leads me to feeling very ill and exhausted after I get in an argument or after I have been around people who have argued. Though it has come in handy for helping me better control myself when I argue with people because I know what will happen if myself or another become too worked up.
As for anything else someone may want to know, feel free to ask. :D There are some questions I will let you know if I deem to personal that wish to keep to myself, though I will answer any question I can as long as I do not feel is crosses any moral lines.
Merry Met and Blessed Be to all :)
