Introduction

So I would say the setting for my story is much more plain and simple than I guess my imaginative mind desires, fairly local guy my whole life but when I reflect back I can say I've seen the sites and put a check mark in the enjoyment department. The things I have done that make me feel happy, nostalgic, complete, and accomplished have propelled me into the place I am at now but have not come easy and without struggle. Now I know everyone has their own struggle, so that does not make one unique, but what defines their character is how they respond to said adversities. Some will bow out and give up, others will get frustrated and implode into self destruction, some will wait to be rescued by any means, but I feel confident enough to say that some like myself know that the current hurt and battle will always pass but the memory of the pain will keep you prepared, so you buckle down and dig in for the fight. The fact that I overcame those struggles gives me pride and a sense of hardenedness that makes me accept any oncoming obstacle in this game of live. I feel blessed and humbled, I try not to look gift horses in the mouth, show respect and courtesy to others, own up to my mistakes, and teach others how to overcome as I have. I feel a spiritual connection to life itself but am not religious. I've never considered myself politically aware until as of lately but have always leaned one direction. I used to be vain and think only for myself and I truly was the center of my universe... then came my son Odis and his identical angel twin above Cecil! Man those two boys retrofied my life and unleashed emotions and feelings that put a better perspective to the grand scale of the universe and my place in it! I am content in my place.
