MaraPets - kirasha

A Writer. An Artist. A Woman. A Witch. A Storyteller. There's not much more to say in summary of myself. Those five characteristics say it all. My first loves are information, writing, art, and music, all of which are liberally sprinkled throughout this journal. I find inspiration in the quotes, photos, and art of others.

I came, I lurked, I disappeared for nearly a decade as Life had it's merry way with me. Then, I came back, lurked, and the site crash of '17 happened. So, I disappeared again for months because out of sight, out of mind. Came back to an out of control inventory/attic that I am still sorting my way through and reorganizing into my gallery and shop.

I tend to shy away from forums and chat. Mostly, I'm just an introvert who has to deal with people all day at work and collecting pets is my "me time" to recharge the batteries. So, while I may not be active in the Forums, please don't be afraid to message me for any reason. I may even start using the blog feature one of these days. ;-)

"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only what you are expecting to give — which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving." ~~ Katharine Hepburn
