Amzy

Uncharacteristicly, I have decided to cave in to the pressures of constant requests for an introduction.

I have the courage and conviction to live as an individual in a world that pressures me to become a conformist. I am a seeker of knowledge and an artist of life. My future will never be peaceful, but I will be alive.

On a good day, I am the flame that burns against the cold, never needing more fuel. The lantern shining against the dark that never wants for more oil. I am that which stands against the tides of apathy. I care. I am the oasis of hope in your desert of despair, and though I may not give you water, I will help you get it for yourself.

On a bad day, my flame flickers, and my light grows dim. I struggle to breathe as much as I can on my own, and will be on my deathbed before asking for help. On a bad day, I am overcome by the power of lethargy. An oasis without water.

At all times, I am me.

Today, well, today is a good day.

Hi AMZY - about time! Your introduction was such a pleasure to read; AWESOMELY poetic... You speak of an undeniable strength, but may I ask why your light grows dim?

Anyway - WELCOME to JPiC - don't be afraid to ask for help around here, as we pleasure in giving advice AS WELL AS love AND help for our peers here ALSO asking for help doesn't make one less of a man, although I too am guilty of not asking

So have fun posting in the forums, asking for help when it's needed and enjoying the abundant talent that makes JPiC such a fabulous forum. After reading your intro - I must say you've piqued my interest and I definitely look forward to reading your writes!

Jacquii.
