Is gift-giving all too common? Or does the easy giving point to a lack of meaning? It's somewhat strange, and altogether unnerving, to experience from strangers what family won't give.

They say kindness is a virtue, but I'm considering it a curse.

I don't think gift-giving is too common. You should cherish that kindness given to you...let it bloom in your heart. A curse can be reversed, you know, with the proper care...

That depends on the curse.

[oftemptation.livejournal.com]

That's true, I suppose, but...in this particular case, it seems to be reversible, given the right mindset...

[purgatio]

Reversed?

You felt something, did you not, when you were given those gifts? Happiness, joy, love...perhaps even pain...

Let that feeling plant itself within you. Let it take root, and blossom. As it grows, those feelings will guide you...and the curse will find itself reversed.

Would you--

meet with me?

[oftemptation.livejournal.com]

...when would you like?

[purgatio]

Whenever. Sometime. Soon.

...I'm tall, with long blue hair. I'll likely be outside tonight, if you want to find me...

[purgatio]

...Not tonight. Tomorrow?

All right...
