Irayu Eltu, for being who you are. Curiosity is a very good thing ... I am also an extremely curious person. How else do you find out about people who might be a significant part of your life? It took courage for you to ask about my world view.

I am completely blessed in most parts of my life; but (isn't there ALWAYS a "but"), I have had some very devastating emotional disappointments. The only thing that has kept me afloat is that I truly am a textbook Sag with a totally optimistic view of life. That is why I depend on my phoenix to constantly remind me that, no matter how often I crash and burn, I WILL arise from the ashes and flames as a stronger person.

I am going through a tough time right now (the perils of being a passionate person) and am kind of struggling right this moment ... but I know I WILL be ok! There you have it, I have just opened my heart for you ... tell me why we might have something in common ... I sincerely want to know, I sincerely want to "see you".

My Avatar holds no deeper meaning, I'm afraid - it is merely there to, along with my signature, provide a distinct visual identity in my posts.

Speaking of deeper meanings though, I would very much like to ask you - the way you talk about your totem makes me very eager to hear of how you... look at the world, so to speak. Somehow, it seems we might have very much in common.

Just curiosity, that's all.

Irayo Eltu ... you sure do know how to make a newbie feel welcome. The phoenix is my totem and holds a lot of significence for me. Will you tell me why you have specifically chosen your avatar?

Take your time.

I *love* your avatar, by the way!

You are going to have to be patient with my stumbling around your site, please, Eltu. Your site is so much more complex than Avatar Wiki and it is going to take me a while to learn my way around ... but I will! I know that I can come to you with my "DUH" questions.
Thank you for your Friend request ... you are my first one!

I am glad you are enjoying the forums. If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you for your welcome. You are very kind, Eltu, I am very happy to find you and I hope to participate more in the future.

Welcome to ToS!
