#TrueFriendsSu
"Sometimes in life, you find a special friend.
Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop.
Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.
This is forever friendship. When you're down and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full.
Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times an dthe confused times.
If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows.
If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on.
Your forever friend hold your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay.
And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete because you need not worry.
You have a forever friend, and forever has no end."
Great words, Naomi, straight from the heart. :) Great photo to go with them too. <3
There aren't that many people who are willing to "inconvenience
I'm NOT speaking of here those who support friends and say, "I wish I could do something to help, but I don't know how I can help." There is a huge difference because oftentimes those who truly want to help, just can't, but they will offer their support "by listening without judgment" AND they WILL SUPPORT you "in public". Very often knowing that someone cares and are willing to listen, will have your back WHERE NEEDED, even though they can't actually do something tangible to help, is worth more than words can say.
Then there are those who will listen and show support "in private", but when you need their support in public where the issue is taking place, they become silent, say nothing, OR they will even go so far as to minimise your situation publicly and usually because they are afraid they might step on the toes of the offending party. THIS can AND often does, make the situation WORSE for the person being victimised.
This is how and why people who bully others get away with their assaulting behaviour. When a bully or bullies is/are met with people who refuse to allow them to behave badly towards others, they back down, because bullies are really cowards who pick on the defenseless, on those they know they can and likely they'll get away with it. When challenged, bullies recede, because they really have no guts.
A good example: When a child is bullied at school, the child is virtually 'alone' to deal with the bullies. When the child goes home to their family, they then are supported, but WHERE the child NEEDS the support the most, they are alone and left to defend themselves 'by themselves'. This is why "support groups" are needed "WHERE the offensive behaviour is taking place".
I speak from experience here. People aren't aware of how many people, "supposedly" friends, who have and do tell me "in private" that they know I have been and am being wronged on/by Elftown.com; that they can't believe with the amount of data and evidence I've provided and yet, I'm still being victimised... But when it comes time to stand up and SAY SO PUBLICLY, they are silent! They're afraid they'll step on some toes! ...OFFENDING toes! So because of the silence, the person(s) continues to do as they want to, unchecked, and I am left with having to "LIVE THIS HELL"! ..And then to add insult to injury, my subjugation is labeled as "drama". Oh gee, how considerate! grrrrr
..And another thing I would like to add. For those who like to throw around the term, "drama" because it's not something that's directly affecting them, remember then, anything that does or is adversely affecting your life, IS DRAMA too! So, don't complain! Deal with it! Get over it! ...Just like I've been told to do SO many times!
So definitely, TREASURE those who are "true friends"!
#Poetry
"Words Unsheathed"Words released, written or said, Can have an impact or simply fall dead. Words most powerful, are words that thrive, Through supporting actions, kept alive. For words that are spoken but not upheld, Are words that are empty and so, be-felled. But words can be used for good or bad, To make others happy or make them sad. Words can be used with consideration, Or they can be used for obliteration. Words of wisdom can truly inspire, Others to care, change their desire. Words of love, compassion, and caring, Become infectious, contagious for sharing. Words of hurt pack a powerful punch, Devouring the innocent for their lunch. When words as weapons are carelessly used, Innocent targets are then abused. We have freedom of speech for words to bequeath, But we have responsibility BEFORE we unsheathe! Words can be weapons or they can be tools, But how they're used, defines wisdom from fools! <i>©2013-11-12 07:07:00 (EST) "Of all the Gifts, Love is the best! Give it freely, without request!" ~ Artsieladie #Quotes #Poetry #PoeticQuotes "When our hearts are touched by love, magic happens!" ~ Artsieladie #Quotes "The path of least resistance, is the path of least reward." ~ Artsieladie #Quotes | "Components Of Love"When we offer kind words, lend a hand, When we give forgiveness without reprimand, When we open our hearts to genuine caring, When we are with our blessings, freely sharing, When we listen more closely with more than our ears, When we see what's true beyond our fears, When we truly accept differences among all others, When we realise within, we're all sisters and brothers, When we rid ourselves of hate and resentment, We then KNOW Love and true contentment. <i>©2013-11-12 06:20:00 (EST) "Friends Are Sparkles Shining My Diamond"Friends like diamonds sparkle and shine, Every one special of unique design. Each one touches and warms my heart, Igniting the passions that inspire my art! Each friend is a sparkle in a diamond's shine, And each friend sparkles in this heart of mine! Without friends to love and for, to care, There'd be no sparkles and no diamond there. "Overtired"My heart is tired, my soul is numb, There is but one choice left, I must succumb. There will be no peace until I do And so it's time to bid adieu! |
| Inside all of us there is both light and darkness, good and evil and this is an internal battle we all are faced with. But... who we are ultimately, is who we CHOOSE to be, aspire to either express and/or depress. We EACH have THIS choice. So if we CHOOSE love and light to express, we then exude and perpetuate the same and others will see our light and be inspired we hope, to do likewise and this cultivates a oneness, a unity, a connection unbreakable among us. If we CHOOSE darkness and resentment, we will also exude and perpetuate the same, but since people are natur- ally drawn to love, light, and positiveness, instead of inspiring others, we will repel others, therefore instigating and propagating separatism, disunity, and disconnection among us. It IS not what we all harbour within, but rather what OF we harbour that we CHOOSE to shine ..OR not. Namasté |
“You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
You can lead a person to knowledge but you can't make them think.
You can lead a person to the truth but you can't make them believe.
You can lead a person to love but you can't make them receive.”

"It is not our mistakes that make us less, but it's when we refuse to acknowledge them and confess!" ~ Quotes-By-Artsieladie #Quotes
THIS is an example of what makes a person worthy of respect and definitely worthy of being forgiven, when they are willing to admit their mistakes and make a heart felt apology as well... AND also acknowledged the criticism as constructive made against them that showed the error of their judgment. THIS is an excellent example of INTEGRITY! ..And THIS is why I completely respect the person who made this statement and with no reservation.
"I want to apologise for a post I made the other day regarding the number of gay people on Australian TV. On reflection, I can see why many people felt that I crossed the line... especially after I reread what I wrote and the constructive feedback I got from a few people. I apologise to those people who were insulted by what I wrote. I should have chosen my words more carefully or thought before blurting out a random thought. Sorry!"
This isn't something that is shown much anymore. Instead, when people are called out on their less than appropriate actions/behavi
Well, I say this to the one particularly guilty... punish me if you must, if it makes YOU feel "good about YOURself", ..want a medal? ...BUT... don't expect "me" to go along with "your lies"! If you're waiting for me to do this? Plan on waiting a VERY long time because it will be a "cold day in hell" before I do. ..And remember, it is YOUR behaviour that reflects just WHO YOU ARE and it is MY behaviour that reflects WHO I AM. At the end of the day, I live comfortably with WHO I am. My conscience is clear. Can you say the same and while doing so, be honest with yourself? Sleep well! ..But DO keep one eye open! I sleep with both eyes closed knowing that I try to do what's right, rather than giving in to what's wrong. ..And if you resent me for this? So be it!

Wow! I guess news travels fast and I guess I hit a nerve! INCOMPETENCY!!
Since when has [Hedda] liked having an official wiki-page "unexported"?
http://elftown
The wiki-page Halloween Art 13, Page 1 is not exported!
Boy, the TRUTH hurts, doesn't it? ..And nothing like showing it! But stupidity can't be fixed!
"Wrongdoings cannot be righted when bathed in silence by bystanders." ~ Quotes-By-Artsieladie
“Yes, we have freedom of speech, freedom of expression, etc., but along with EVERY right, EVERY freedom, EVERY privilege, there also comes with each of them, RESPONSIBILITY to "respect the right to have been given the freedoms, rights, and privileges". Just because we are entitled to rights and freedoms, it does NOT give us a green light to degrade, insult, bully, etc., others, because when we do, we then no longer deserve the RIGHT to HAVE RIGHTS!” ~ Quotes-By-Artsieladie
A great source of entertainment I find Elftown.com to be. ROFLMAO!
The Mainstreet Calendar... whoever is running it, doesn't have a clue as to how it's supposed to be run. I could point out what's being done wrong -or- not being done period, but I won't because then it would become known and after what's been done to me on the site, mostly by some crew members, I'll continue to chuckle at the incompetency.
The Featured art hasn't been changed since 2013-04-28. The poem finally got changed after nearly a month. Featured Member hasn't been changed since 2013-08-07, Featured Member since 2013-08-10 and the Featured Story not since 2013-03-21.
Oh but, not opening a contest until the very last minute, and then taking months to give the results? This "used to be" unacceptable. Why, the Christmas Art Competition is STILL PENDING!!!! No Mainstreet poll for it, but on a page, and it's gone totally unnoticed! ...And how far away is Christmas, 2013? ROFLMAO!
Crew members took turns jumping me, getting on my case when I would always stay on top of just about everything and if something wasn't getting done, I just did it, just to make sure everything was done in a timely fashion. Oh but, I was accused of "interfering"! But... when crew members would deliberately interfere with what I was doing, "they" were said to be "helping". Awww...
Well, so much for competency on Elftown.com! What competency? THERE IS NONE!!!
"World Of Colour"
| My world is cold and dark and grey. The sun never shines to be happy and play. The dark clouds hanging, always loom overhead, Day after day, I ache with such dread. No one to love me, not even care, If I'm hungry or cold or lost somewhere. I long for a petting, a gentle touch, From someone that loves me; I long so much. Each day I look for a rainbow to cross my sky, A promise of someone that I'll catch their eye. But as each day closes, hope fades, becoming slimmer, Darker than night and its shadows, much dimmer. But in my dreams as sleep overtakes, I'm off to a land of no tears or heartaches. In this "World of Colour" is a rainbow glowing; The sun always shines, not a cloud showing. My heart is warmed with plenty of hugs. I'm not even itchy from the biting bugs! My bowl is full, garnished with treats; My water is fresh, not from the streets. My belly's not hurting from sickness or hunger. There's someone to hold me when I'm scared of thunder. A voice so kind of someone I hear, Pleasant and cheerful, I harbour no fear. A ball is thrown, a twig, a stick, For me to fetch and return, reward with a lick. My tail is wagging, overcome with joy; Kisses by the dozens, I gladly deploy. So much love, there's nothing I miss In this "World of Colour", this heavenly bliss! But.. then I awake in the first grey of morn, And sadly.. I've returned to the land of forlorn. |

"If My Heart Had Windows"
Written by FRAZIER
If my heart had windows,
You'd see a heart full of love just for you.
A tear may appear when I hold you near,
But that's for the sweet things you do.
If my heart had windows,
You'd see a heart full of love just for you.
By your side, I'll stay,
Till we're old and gray,
Reminiscing the moments we knew.
If my heart had windows,
You'd see a heart full of love just for you.
A thief couldn't steal the love that I feel,
Heaven for me has come true.
If my heart had windows,
You'd see a heart full of love just for you.
If my heart had windows,
You'd see a heart full of love just for you.
To my dear, sweet Hans, always so kind, always so sweet, no one can surmount, no one can beat! ♥

| "Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our own soul when we look the other way." I don't know how anyone can "live with themselves" when they look the other way or pretend they do not see or know that another is being wronged. The phrases used so often, "There's nothing I can do" and "I don't get involved" are cop outs and used as convenient excuses so the person(s) using it/them thinks they have set themselves free from the responsibility of standing up against wrong, regardless of how the same may attempt to "sugar coat" their "excuse(s)". :( At the end of the day, how can apathetic people even stand themselves? |

| http://elftown Just wow, nothing like taking money from someone and then having the colossal gall to treat them like shit, threaten them to shut them up because they've been caught spying... and then lying countless times, and then.. kick them to the curb!!! Yup! THIS is appreciation, isn't it folks!!?? Oh yeah, and to then steal the generous person's works, MANY thousands of pieces of, and then also slander the person's name all over the Internet... and while reaping the benefits from the name they're slandering!!! Oh but, it doesn't stop here! Oh no! There are 5 names among the others I donated for who have ROYALLY, and I do mean ROYALLY... stabbed me in the back! Just to show me some more of that "Elftown Gratitude", ya know? :( Oh but... "I" am not supposed to mind! I'm expected to go along with the lies and the BS and praise those who have shit all over me and have SOOOOO DELIGHTED in doing so. Kiss my ass!!!! |
