So distraught. I'm trying to save an animal from euthanasia who's only issue is that she has a deformity. She would need orthotics and prosthetics which I'm very willing to provide. Along with endless love in her last 5-8 years. The problem is that the deciding factor on whether or not I can ad...

Water

My life was so great when you were around I felt as though I was floating And if I ever thought I was going to fall I knew you'd catch me.   It's funny when things this great end Not in a comical sense, but in a peculiar way   Like the last day of summer When the leaves start to fall And you know that the tree isn't dying But it's shedding a part of itself that it once came to know   It's like losing someone that you've loved your whole life Like being abandoned in a sea full of people you know But the one person you wish to be with has vanished You go through this process The one they call grief It's almost as if you died The day that you decided your life no longer needed me in it The day that we stopped talking The day that I stopped feeling   Now my mornings are filled with thoughts Thoughts of you. Dreams of you.   How do I get you out of my head? You've taken up all the space that's left inside Any of the space that was left over from the grief I felt from a previous loss... How can I ever be whole again?   But I'm learning, oh God I'm learning How to live without you. It's like learning how to live without water Waking up dehydrated from the day before Supplementing that life essence with busy schedules and multiple interactions   I suppose one day I'll realize that I need water But I'll find it from a new source.

I've been struggling trying to think of what I could possibly write to explain my life and situation. I've never liked asking for assistance with finances, but I have come to the realization that everyone needs help sometimes, including myself - and while I wish I was able to completely fund my s...

Anyone who knows me, knows how embarrassed I am to write something like this, yet I've come to realization that I will not be able to do this on my own. I have been sitting at my desk for hours, trying to calculate how much I will be able to make working both of my jobs, and it still wont even be close to what I need to attend medical school. I have looked at starting a third job, but with my mental struggles and health issues, I do not think it will be a healthy option. Since my father passed, my mother and I have been having a rough time financially, and while she helps me out more than she helps herself, after paying back a very large sum to OSAP, we are short on our savings with still more owed..

Once again, I know this is a shot in the dark. I know everyone has money struggles from time to time, and I am in no way asking for you all to give me what you can't. But even a dollar helps. I feel so silly for asking in such a way, because it seems so needy, but I wasn't sure how else to get my plea out there otherwise. And hey... its social media - even a share or a like gets more views and more potential help, so please do.

I love you all and understand if it is not in your power to help at this time. And if you do help, I hope one day I can help you in return.

Much love.

(DIS)COMFORT.

I did a lot of thinking today about duality and the real meaning of comfort. I tried to upload my video but it was too long, so follow the vimeo link to watch.

Hey guys.

Ive been gone for a LONG time. Seems like I always have these ups and downs when it comes to being on top of my Tumblr.

I have just traveled for almost 2 months and am eager to share photos and experiences with you all.

This is what I think of when I walk down the walkway at my campus - its a brick pathway, and you cant really go a day without tripping on uneven bricks. 4 years and I still do frequently, but maybe I’m just clumbsy.

Jan 12.15. My topsy-turvy life. I'm okay with it. (Taken from my lysspurr Fetlife acct)

I'm sure if you walked up to any stranger on the street and asked: "Are you doing what you want with your life?" many would say No. Neither am I.. But one thing I have learned is to love the ride along the way. One day you may have the person/thing/house/pet/(insert anything else here) you wanted and the next something could happen that takes that away. I'm not being dark or morbid or anything.. Life happens, and sometimes the person/thing of your affections just doesn't fit into your life anymore.

Many people ask me continuously if I have found that pet or slave I so want after.. The answer is no. But not because I don't have choice - because I haven't tried looking. My life seems to go like this... Single = free to do what/who I want and then start my search for a special little sub to come into my life. Then BAM, I seem to find someone along the way who changes my way of thinking and I start a special relationship with them. If you have read my past writings, you would have read Boyfriend in Training. Thats exactly how it happened. I dated someone vanilla and they tried to please me the way I wanted, and after some time it just didn't work.

I'm struggling trying to find that perfect someone who can see my kinky side and let me do the things I want with whom I want (pet/sub/slave) and know that it won't affect my feelings for them, who won't get jealous and who would want to join me in doing things I love. So far this hasn't happened... But I'm okay with it, Why?

Because I love my life - and my journey - and figuring all this out, is the best fucking part.

Jan 7.15. Things San Pedro taught me.

San Pedro taught me: Just because I am not perfect does not mean I am broken. I decide what I want and what I don't want - what I need or don't need - no one else decides that for me and it's okay to change the "wants" and "needs" in your life as you change in life. Dark breeds dark, light breeds light. Like a candle which itself has light, it attracts a glow to it. It attracts the light. Let the light and love shine from within you and you will be surrounded by light and love in return. (Resonated hugely to me - tears of joy and understanding were emitted) Physical pain is analogous to emotional pain. You can take what you can take. You decide if you want to keep your hand on the hot mug and feel the slight pain and work through it and overcome it. Or you take your hand off and remember what the pain felt like so you can avoid it in the future. Like the candle. To emit your light into the world you must be able to stand up and exude it outwardly to those around you, it's okay to get some help standing - okay to get the help you need in order to get that light back. Stomach pain comes from not emitting your light. Holding it in. Let it out. Food and liquids are not to blame for your stomach issues. It is the fact that you have snuffed the light out in your body. You must let it shine outwardly and don't hold back. Feel your feelings fully. Stop holding everything in. Try milk now. You won't feel sick.

Jan 7.15. Altered Reality.

Travelling now for about two weeks and still almost a week left. Started in Cuba with my mum (just for fun) but then hopped on a plane from Havana to Lima to begin my journey of further self-discovery. Currently in the mountains near Cusco where I am staying at a retreat learning about the San Pedro, Sapo and Ayahuasca medicines. This is a tedious process. I am finding out a lot more about myself than I thought I originally knew. These medicines are subtle - they come to you when you are quiet and out of your head. You can't call them to you. It's like being in a relationship with someone who is across the world. You can't just will them to come to you at any time. You have to be ready. They have to come to you. They have to receive you. Also been looking into some animal tarot and runes. Funny how these things really reflect what your journey is shaping up to be. More to come. <3 Lyss

I can’t even tell you how many of those have personally happened to me.. Its like - you can’t even be friends with a guy these days without them thinking they can get you drunk and try shit. Or when you say NO and they keep trying 4 or 5 more times…. GET IT IN YOUR BRAINS.

On September 21 I decided to go to Crystal Beach. It was actually warm (for those of you who don't know, I live in Ontario, Canada and fall in Canada isn't supposed to be even a little warm haha) The waves were amazing for body surfing - and my friend and I brought along some goodies (Cesars and Palm Bays) and had a grand ol time!
