Pages : 84
Book Description
I've never took 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 was born in North Carolina on August 5, 1978. I moved around a lot at first from state to state till my parents decided to go separate ways. I believe that was the turning point in my life. My mother was now both. I eventually moved to Baton Rouge, LA where I currently reside at now. 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. 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 course sand between my toes . I am very trust worthy although people seem to take that for granted. 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
