I am told that I am the “toughest and most intimidating guy you’ll ever meet”, but it’s quite the opposite.
My rich aunt and uncle planned to send me to NYU for animation with the promise from the head of animation there that I would be working at Disney in three years. I declined, for I knew it would make my truck driver father feel like less of a man.
I have had 4 children with 3 different mothers. I am aware of how that sounds, so despite the fact that I am a very attentive and involved father, I rarely mention it.
I lost my daughter Izzy at 19 months of age, and now that my second daughter is so similar at the same age, I am in a constant state of quiet remembering.
Although I am 43 years old, I am still convinced that my ultimate dream will come to pass.... daily woodworking in the garage/shop of my own home.

I’m a perfectionist.
Unfortunately, if I feel I can’t do it perfectly I don’t want to even bother trying.
I need to get over it.0 -

I agree... let me rephrase this so that semantics don't get in the way of my sentiments here. I used to put up a wall to protect my vulnerable nature in an effort to control the outcome... as if I didn't trust my ability to handle my own emotions. Now, I am comfortable with my vulnerability and I even welcome it, all while knowing that I am in full control of my emotional state. None of this means I am unfeeling, in fact its quite the opposite. I am still a very deep feeling person... I am just no longer afraid of it. In a way, I feel limitless and untouchable... not because limits don't exist or that I cannot be hurt, but because I know I will survive and even thrive, either way6 -

I don't know what a regular friendship is like anymore.
I often crave attention, but then when I get it, I'm instantly skeptical.
I get jealous of the way some people talk to others on here. Especially when it's things nobody has or will ever say to me.
When I post a picture, it's because I'm feeling good about myself, but nearly every time, it ends in me feeling bad. Then I do it again.
There you go. More honesty. I know I'm a mess.
Hugs Tj.. 🙂 it's not much, but it's heartfelt.1 -
Although we traded letters and had a couple phone conversations,
my biological mother passed away before I could meet her.
We shared the same handwriting, love of animals, vices, made similar life choices and I look exactly like her.
My biological father on the other hand I have met.
I look nothing like him and we have completely opposite ways of seeing the world.
I have half siblings, none of which have shown any desire to meet.
I’m okay with it.

I made gratitude my watchword for 2018. It has left me feeling peaceful and happy, because I finally realize how blessed I am. Haven't picked a word for 2019 yet.1
