I learned that because a relationship ends does not necessarily mean that love ends. It just changes.

My best friend of twelve years finally decided he wanted children, a decision not compatible with my plans. I have a seventeen year old child and am not wanting to start again at this point. I love my friend dearly, but we both feel we are not compatible.

At first I was angry, but he's a good man, and I've loved him for a long time, something that just doesn't stop because I didn't get what I wanted. We are both moving on... untangling, and living separate lives, but we maintain a friendship. This is difficult at times, but important to me.

I see a lot of profiles that say "no head games". I wonder what that means to them. We need to be gentle with one another's hearts.

Hahaha!! then I'm in the right place!! XD

This is beautiful! What else would you like to do with her?

I am smitten!
But of course you are all the way in California. I really must move to California. It seems that's where all the fabulous artists are.

How were you lucky enough to make art your career? Were you professionally trained?

Awww curses Targ! It's a sad thing, but I think we all go through that as artists for some reason or another.

My remedy for that is to go draw something right away and post it! :D
Now I've created a challenge for myself. I will if you will!!


** Sorry... Torg.... really... I'm all about the details...

Thanks Souf : )

Thanks!! I've seen your clowny face all over the forums! I already know you're outside the box too :D

Did you watch the video??? Did you?? Watch the video!!

Oh my gosh Kiss, I was quite shocked to read your profile. A few things stand out for me. One important thing is that women on average, really tend to disapprove of the word tramp.
I feel that I have a very good sense of who I am and I honor and respect myself in a good healthy way. I see your profile as being full of anger and demands, which really doesn't leave much opportunity for women to just enjoy being themselves. Your profile tells me it's all about you, and if she disappoints you then she's a tramp, mentally ill, unintelligent and out on her ear. I don't see respect for women here at all.
I'm sorry if that insults, I'm sure it's a bit harsh, but it's honest. Maybe it's you who is not ready for a relationship? I hope this can help in some way.
I wish you well.

Hia,

I've never really been in the box, truth be told.

Could you please tell me how my profile comes across? Sometimes I think people assume... You know... stuuupid... and really I'm totally joking around just being my silly self.

I think I'd like to learn how to play piano just so I can play this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xQmJ_vxHB4 (don't miss the intro).

Harrowwww fellow newbies!

I'm new here as well. This is day two. I hope we all find interesting people to chat with.

I AM NOT AN ANEEMAAHL!!

Yes. Lots of fish. Long insomnia last night. Too tired to use synapses. Byarrg.

I use a lot of made up word. Probably the most common one for texting is byarrrg!! Or... Rrrrrr???
I'm new on here too. Not sure about it yet, just testing the waters.

Hey! How has everyone been doing with this thing? Anybody have good experiences?

Mel

Hi Av,
I'm an artist too. I draw, paint and sculpt, and do multi media work. I'm not a doll maker but find it interesting.
Why does it seem there are so few male artists around??
Come on men, let's have your story : D

I love it too!!

Sometimes messes are the best kind of art!! :D

Art is art. It doesn't matter if you appreciate your own (and I hope all artists do to some degree or another) or if someone else does. It comes from within and that's a beautiful thing.

Thinking of new beginnings
Also thinking this is a little awkward LOL
