Lessons Learned

I have always believed that each relationship, good or bad, teaches us something about ourselves. The lessons learned from each encounter are priceless. My relationships in online Gor have taught me some of the most valuable (and difficult) lessons of my life.

I have learned that there is a difference between being proud...and being prideful.

I have learned that in the phrase "Free Woman," the emphasis is on "woman"..... not on "free."

I have learned that not everyone is as honest as I am.... nor do they wish to be.

I have learned that my truths are just that.... mine.

I have learned that sometimes we speak not to be heard... but because we need to say it aloud.

I have learned that enemies are sometimes friends... in disguise.

I have learned that if we allow ourselves to look closely at an enemy.... we are sometimes surprised to find..... an ally.

I have learned that "you can't teach pigs to sing."

I have learned that those who wish to learn, will... with or without guidance... and those who do not wish to learn, won't.... no matter how much guidance is offered.

I have learned that while we must walk through the fire to touch the magic.. sometimes plunging headlong into the fire... only lands us in hot water.

I have learned that admitting our failures and owning them takes tremendous strength... and makes us stronger.

I have learned that the honor of a man is in the strength of his will... and the honor of a woman is in the strength of her heart.

I have learned that those who sweep us off our feet... are usually the same ones who drop us on our butts.

I have learned that while exploding passion is exhilirating... it is also momentary.

I have learned that the quiet, smoldering loves are the most profound.

I have learned that even between those who care... where we assume they know what we mean... that is not always true.

I have learned that sometimes the most underused two words in the english language... "I'm sorry,"... are sometimes the most important.

I thought I had learned that my ability to forgive was boundless...

Last night, I learned that is not true... there is a limit to my forgiveness...

Some things are unforgiveable.

And in that lesson... in allowing myself not to forgive... I find freedom.

I wish you well,

Dangrus
