I’ve never taken the time to tell anyone who I am. To be honest, no one will truly know who they are. Most people still find themselves lost and like them I am still finding myself. I grew up for the most part like everyone else. I had friends and girlfriends a normal childhood I would say. After graduating high school I quickly joined the United States Navy where I learned a great deal of hardship and knowledge, but for the most part it changed me for the better rather than worse. I got married then divorced then married and divorced once again. Yes, that’s right—twice, but not by me, of course. Let’s just say we had differences. I got out of the Navy on May 16th, 2005, and finally returned to where I started. I’m here and in many ways I’m not. My mind often wonders where to go next, but with time I’ll know. I’m a hopeless romantic, always thinking with my heart and always taking chances on my heart, even when I already see the obvious outcome. I have a son whom I love more than life and I have my family, which has given me support any time I needed it. As you read my thoughts and my questions you will be able to identify who I am and how I think. I’m not complicated, but some people may think I am. I have a twist in poetry. I do not use hard complicated words where you would need a dictionary to understand the meaning and I rarely rhyme, but on occasion I do. I love the sound of the ocean and the feel of coarse sand between my toes. I trust people as far as I can throw them. Nah, I’m just playing. I trust certain people to a point. Like most people, you have to earn trust. It’s not something you can easily give away. I am very outgoing, but in some cases I don’t have time to play around. In My younger years I grew up with my mother having to be a mother and a father. I have seen her pain and felt her sorrow. I have learned from her and realized a lot. Male and female are just alike in many ways, but only a few will show their true colors. I feel that life is short and paths we take can be really long.
