I've been married for four years, and I'm still finding out things about my husband.

I am either blessed or cursed with having little barrier between feeling emotions and displaying them for all to see. My heart is on my sleeve. It's not comfortable but...I am an artist so it's useful and my friends are used to me getting teary at any moment. So, it just runs through me and I know it will continue to, but my best source of grounding are animals and nature. Animals live more in the moment and don't worry so much! And nature is proof of a greater power than myself. Both put things in perspective, or at least gently move us forward.

I am no longer able to be anonymous.

I will never be ok with the suffering of others - that I will likely continue to fight so I must treat it as a marathon race not a sprint.

That evidence of the spirit of life is what makes me get out of bed in the morning.

I can watch endless humans get killed, but if I see a movie and they kill a dog, I practically want to walk out.
