About Daimeera
Hello there!
I'm a 21 year old female from Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm not as active on this site as I once was, but I will almost certainly reply to private questions sent to me.
Let's see, about me. I've been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Clinical Depression, as well as some other related mental and physical illnesses. Despite this, I'm happier now than I can ever remember being.
I've been a vegan since August 2007. In other words, I do my best not to consume anything of animal origin, ranging from the obvious (meat), to the somewhat obvious (eggs and dairy), to the not-so-obvious (honey, wool, silk, and more). I love this life. I have so much more appreciation for everything and everyone around me, and I feel so at peace with myself and the world. I wake up everyday and know that I'm making a difference. It's been a huge turning point in my life.
I recently graduated from high school after an extra three years due to my illness. It was a long road, but it felt amazing to walk across that stage. An added bonus was having the 15th highest average (over my high school career) out of 258 students!
I intend to pursue a career in psychology, first obtaining my BA, and then attending graduate school in order to study for my PhD. It's a little daunting at times, but I know it will be worth it. I want to help people, plain and simple. I want to make a difference. I want to change the world. And I believe I can, if only in a small way.
I think that's me in a nutshell. I also enjoy writing, knitting, multiple other artistic endeavors (including drawing, photography, music, and more), web design, and many other things. So, feel free to drop me a message if you think there's something I can help with.
Psst, guess what? I, like everyone else, have my very own message board! You can visit it here.

sorry, i dont really know what topic to put this under.....
But,Okay, well me and my really really close friends are in a huge fight and i dont really talk to her any more at all, and well, i havent for about a month or so. Well, i guess my question is, i bought her and her family christmas presents and im really close with her family because we were friends for soo long and i just want to know if i should still give them the presents, because well, i dont have a problem with her or her family at all. welll, should i give them to them? or should i at least give her family their presents??
If you're interested in repairing your friendship with her, this could be the perfect opportunity. You could take the gift to her and her family and apologise, even if you don't think you did anything wrong. Sometimes it's not about who's right.
It's possible she has gifts for you, too, and she just doesn't know what to do. So if you're brave, I would give them, in person. Or, if you can't do that, leave them or mail them and attach a note, maybe?
One other thing--if you do apologise, make sure it's about what you did, not her. In other words, don't say "I'm sorry you were upset" or "I'm sorry you fought with me." Try "I'm sorry that I hurt you" or "I'm sorry that we got into a fight." Accept responsibility so she knows you miss her.
If you DON'T miss her or want her friendship back, well, I wouldn't give the gifts, but ultimately, it's whatever makes you more comfortable, and what you can live with.
