But I expect certain things from others too! I value constancy. Erik. There is no right answer. I love hearing your reaction though. Fack. I've seen beautiful cockroaches in Hawaii, though I was afraid to touch them. Kira. Hugs. You're amazing too. Lindsaylobe. Lovely hymn. (I unsuccessfully tried on iTunes to find Deidre Brown). Susan. I am floored. That is indeed the Virgin of Guadelupe!!! Great story too. Thank you. Callie. But I expect certain things from others too! I value constancy.

It reminds me of a well known hymn I have sung many times –here is extract~I hope you like it

Come as you are, ~that’s how I want you
Come as you are, feel quite at home

Come as you are, ~ that’s how I love you
Come as you are, trust me gain
Nothing can change the love that I bear you
All will be well, just come as you are

Your thoughts are brainpains, each time I think: what does it mean, what does she mean and how shall I respond? This time Sera has the feeling of guilt, but guilt of what? Of being a fly caught with honey instead of vinegar? Sera, be yourself, you’re a great artist and it’s you who catches so many people not with something sweet or acid but with your own imagination, thank you, Lord for all this! (Having written this I doubt whether I gave the right answer or an answer you already knew - see, I’m a fly and she caught me with the honey of her drawings :) Great graphics you used again!

Fuck other peoples expectations, live for yourself and the people you love. Similarly, any expectations you have of yourself are born of other peoples opinions and values. If something really means enough to you personally, you'll adhere to it and live up to it - if you don't, well, there's a reason our boy Jesus got up on that cross, like it or no. And even though I'm classed as right-wing, I actually hold all life as worthy of living. I think it does a lot of people an injustice when you throw out a line like that. Death is unavoidable, and sometimes we have to put our own survival ahead of others (this includes the abortion debate, unfortunately) but at the end of the day, all life is worthy of life. Except cockroaches, a pox on those damned things and their kin. I gotta say, Sera, that’s fairly dark, even for you.
