And very beautiful, too.
Incidentally, I have to echo the reaction of many here: I likewise thought you were a dude (but I figured 'young', like early twenties). Not that it matters to me one way or the other what your gender is; "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female—for all of you are one in Christ Jesus" (Gal 3:28).

Good for you, hon. I praise God for blessing you with such a strong faith. Persevere unto the end!

Nope (e.g., chatpilot).

Thank you Ryft. I appreciate the compliment and I am pushing forward so that my life can reflect my love for God. It's not uncommon for people to assume I'm male, there's something about my "internet voice" that makes me more masculine sounding. Actually, my personal voice is sort of calming and deep but still womanly. I'm 26 and will be 27 in November.

Heh, I thought you both were younger. Not that either of you seem childish or anything.. Oh crap, I should stop before I accidentally offend you '-_-
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Everyone thinks I'm younger than I am...I don't know if that means I write like an immature idiot (shut up, Ryft, I DO have your address) or if the people who actually see me on cam or in real life are thrown off by the age-defying freckles.

Nah, I think it is the fact that you're approachable, I guess. You don't have "bitter hag" all written over your forehead, that some women have that on the other hand make them seem older than they are

More like 'surprise: I'm a pretty ebony lass!'
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Hell... people thought I was nearly thirty when they met me. I'm only 18
