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.

Please Help
I have homework on the book Anthem by Ayn Rand and one of the questions is.
What word is Equality struggling to recapture on page 49?
We do not wish to look upon the Uncharted Forest. We do not wish to think of it. But ever do our eyes return to taht black patch upon the sky. Men never enter the Uncharted Forest, for there is no power to explore it and no path to lead among its ancient trees which stand as guards of fearful secrets. It is whipered that once or twice in a hundred years, one among the men of the City escape alone and run to the Uncharted Forest, without call or reason. These men do not return. They perish from hunger and from the claws of the wild beasts which roam the Fores. But our Councils say taht this is only a legend. We have heard taht there are many Uncharted Forests over the land, among the Cities. And it is whipered that they have grown over the ruins of many cities of the Unmentionalbe times.
That took me a while to type so please help me. I just need one word that Equality (the character) is trying to recapture by saying this.
THANKS ALOT!
Is that the entire page 49?
It has been a LONG time since I read this book, so I might be totally off the mark (and if I am, I truly apologise, but I figured I'd take a stab at it since no one else had), but is the word possibly "I?"
I know that "I" is very taboo in the culture Equality lives in, the supposed Utopian society. They are expected to live as a collective rather than individuals and thus it is forbidden to speak of oneself or have one's own feelings. So if the answer is not "I", it is perhaps related to individuality, or the time when individuality was still accepted.
Sorry if this is no help. :0(
If that IS the entire page 49, perhaps he's trying to recapture the word "freedom?" That just occurred to me now, but again, I couldn't tell you for sure.
