I was surfing the internet today and i came across this quote and it made me realize something i never thought of. Reading it was the final push i needed to open my eyes.

For the weeks encoumpassing my leave i was barraged by msn messages asking me why i really left. It seems some people grew to know me more than i thought they had. Yet still i stood firm on the fact that i was taking time to myself. What i didnt realize is i already had time to myself and the way i had chosen to spend it was here. Leaving didnt free up any time i didnt already have, It just emptied time in which i had filled with a great amount of joy and pleasure. With all this empty time i soon found that i too grew empty inside, all it did was give me more time to focus on the negatives of the things to come in the future ie. the pain of the birth of 2 children, the sleepless nights, the occupied time. It was then that i realized i had my time but i soon wouldnt and thanks to a hasty move to prove my loyality to one person, i passed alot of my remaining me time in an unpleasant manner. I dont blame this person at all, they never told me to leave, they just felt i was acting in a certain manner which i wasnt and the only way i could think to prove my words was to leave. I used excuses i had told myself a while back prior to these precedings. How i needed to prepare. The fact remains i am prepared, all i do now is wait essentialy. But passing this time by doing nothing but chatting to a select few on msn and just playing solitaire has made me appreciate what the JA was to me. I always saw Angel D'Kana as an illusion, a fake me. And now i know i was right, but i need that fake me in order for the REAL me to live with some recreation. So Thank You Jaina, Jaiko, DJ Sith, Virtue and MOST OF ALL JumpinJedi for opening my eyes to the truth i ignored and covered. I need to be here. And so i will be here. I will stay from now and even beyond the birth of my kids. I will however drop in activity during the begining of parenthood. But hey at least i have time while they are sleeping :) and after all if they are gonna keep me up all night I might as well have something to do like chat in IRC or something :) So im back and here to stay. One thing though: Seeing as a due date is an approximation, there is no telling EXACTLY when ill dissapear for the birth but upon my return from the hospital i will make a post announcing im home and still active :)

Well said, Bravo. Anybody who thinks they want to leave should come and read this post, then have a good think about it.

This place is about fun. If you quit here it means you (a) don't like fun (b) don't know how to have fun. It's not like you have to be married to the JA, just come when you feel like it and have you some fun. :)
