title self explanitory

for those of you who know what ANR is, you know it is,  indeed, a journey.

for those of you who do not know what ANR is...  here is a link to help you out....  http://www.lovelait.info/Packages.html

that is just one of many sites, but that one gives the basics to any reader.

i have desired ANR for about 6 years.  recently, however, it has become more than just a desire... it is nearly an all consuming fire burning within me. 

i've recently joined a group http://www.anrspace.com/ and met others who are in, have been in, or desire to be in ANR. 

knowing i'm not alone, not abnormal, has given me the courage to make a decision....

i am going to set out on a journey to achieve ANR, and i will not settle for any relationship that won't fully support ANR.

i was recently asked, "Wait, a relationship must include an ANR?   This is the first time I have ever heard this, seriously.   Do you think that it's a good idea to make such a demand? "

expecting ANR, for me, will be like expecting a partner to be honest, non-abusive, abstain from cigarettes/drug addiction/abuse,  etc...  

ANR will be a foundation of the relationship just like trust and compatibility.  if i'm not compatible with the person because they smoke, i would not seek a relationship with them.  if they do not want to commit to filling this burning passion i have within, then they are not the partner (one day - spouse??) for me.

everyone has standards, deal-breakers, things they won't compromise on.  this is part of my list of "must haves" from now on.

a wise man once said, "A journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step."

I am ready, indeed, have started my journey.
