This picture is 3 years old - does it matter?

Thank you.

The picture may just reflect where you were at the time.  It is this picture that is being read.

It reflects someone who is very caring and almost wears the heart on the sleeve (to be knocked off).  This means a world of hurt and not much consolation.  If your heart is always going out, it usually finds those least likely to accept or even want what you offer in way of love (on all its levels).  

You do not share this pain but can use it to reflect back on life a little.  It is time to realize that it is a cycle of hurt and pain and to break the chain so that you can enjoy some good companionship.  (I hope by now you have found it!).  Friends will not need your compassion, they will need your down to earth laughter - at nothing and no one.  

The heart is pure gold.  Share the shine, not the coal out of which it came.  Someone near you just needs the encouragement of your smile to be so much more in your life.

Thank you very much Spiritalk. You are right on the spot. Not much changed since then, so I guess there is no need in a more updated picture, which I don't have anyway.
Thank you for taking the time and doing this reading for me, very much appreciated.

Life has not been kind to you in the way you would have liked it.  You often ask, "why me?" or say "not again". But you don't let it stop you because you know that you and you alone have the capability of changing it, you don't blame it on your surroundings or you upbringing, but whom you have chosen to bring into your life.  you love your coffee or tea, I am picking up caffiene....lots of it.  You have friends, but have never really opened up yourself to anyone to come in on your deepest darkest secrets.  You learned long ago that letting someone that close to your emotions was very hurtful.  I get the sense that even though this life has not been what you would have liked it to have been, you still enjoy it and are thankful for those loved ones around you.  Now the fun part, I love this part, i get the sense that in a past life, you were a barmaid in one of those old english taverns.  You were very spunky and well liked, infact, it's almost like ... remember the scene in Shrek where he turns human and the three girls were around him, I get a whirlwind around them and you are all of them rolled in one.  Your soul has never been of the financially advantaged, but you have never let it get you down, it's almost to the point where you have accepted it over the years and are just ready to embrace the joys that life has.  One more thing, what nationality are you, because I am really really REALLLLY picking up old english with you, England, Ireland...not so much Scottland (no I'm not feeling Scottland for some reason), mostly Irish and English.

Coffee is my favorite drink and I never say no to coffee, no matter what time of the day it is. Yep LOOOOOVE my coffee.  
Can't confirm the past life - will take your word for it.
Now, the nationality... I was born in one of the former USSR republics - Moldova, when I was 19 we moved to Israel (English connection.. lol) and for 12 I years I have been living in Canada (English connection).
Thank you.

Amazing the coffee thing... wow
