Thank you for your kind compliment. As a kid, I thought everyone was the same as me but soon learned otherwise. This heart has been forged through the fire, so to speak. Things become more precious when you don't have them. However, I find that most of the time people just need someone to point out things to them in order to become a better person.
I just checked your blog out and see that you've written about Rasputin. I've always been fascinated with this complex and misunderstood man, and have always been interested in Russia and the Romanovs. I have to step out shortly and will read your post when I return. Have an awesome day! :)
