Theoretically speaking, if you were given the option to dispose of your vampirism, would you? Secondly, what would be the primary factor behind that decision?

Yes, and for this reason: I am sangiunary, and it is very difficult at times to find a donor.

I had the same donor for many years, but this person suddenly became unavailable to me. I went through a very bad time until I could find a new one.

I can feed psi, but it simply doesn't help me as much as sang.

Availability and health concerns (even though I use all of the precaution possible) are my two biggest issues.

It was a long journey of self recognition that was rife with self doubt, social repression and social denial.  I finally am self aware and comfortable with my identity.  I'll not forget who I am again.

No, I don't think I would. As I've come to understand and accept, it's become one of the things I like best about me. Truly.

I actually find it liberating. Just as laurentz stated, after years of pain, uncertainty, mystery illnesses, etc., to understand the root of these issues more than makes up for the difficulties and inconveniences.

Now if I had never had to suffer from these issues at all, because I was born non-vampyric, well..... we wouldn't have to be here discussing this. But...., looking at it from my current perspective, I would pity myself. I would miss out on so many things and miss out on knowing a wonderful group of vamps and other kindred souls.

You might say that I would possibly still find the same circle of aquaintances, but I don't think I'd want to take that chance if I had the option.

Hmm. That's a tough question, good one though.

I have finally come to a place where I no longer see my vampirism as a "condition." I no longer feel apologetic for doing what I need to do to sustain myself. I have gained a new appreciation for life through awakening to, and coming to terms with, who and what I am in my very core. If given the option, I would still take the RED pill.  Wink

The what ifs are always an area of speculation that I found depressed the **** out of me for years. Since there is nothing that I apparently can do about being a hybrid vampire I decided to enjoy it instead of bemoaning it with the what ifs. This has made me a much healthier person in many ways.

No. As difficult as things are sometimes and as much hardship that I may endure, my vampirsim has given me a level of strength that has helped me to overcome many many obstacles, as well as it binds me to my sacred family, but most of all, because life is what it is, and I don't feel being able to push the easy button is something I would want to do, although I can and do sympathize with the "cravings". Those can be very exhausting and drive ya up the wall...

The learning process never ends….this includes myself in life’s equation. The dependency can be infuriating but only when it is allowed to become more than one can handle. As the saying goes, “We can’t run away from ourselves,” and I’m not running any more. I am proud to be vampire.

No.  It took a long time to get to the comfort zone I am in now.  I still have so much to learn.  Although it can be difficult at times, I much prefer the lifestyle I have now.

Where Am I?

I've debated this question for a long time myself. I've come to one conclusion alone. No, I would not give the condition up if I had the ability to. I feel that this is something I was born with, and thus perhaps there is a reason for it. It has made me closer to the world, and nature so in many ways I owe the condition for showing me things in energy that otherwise I would have let slip by me without a second thought.
