About me? I'm 24 years old. I'm a combat veteran Jarhead of 6 years now. I spent four years active and so far I have one in the reserves. I spent a year andseven months in Iraq. I mention all of this because this is probably what I am most proud of in my life. If you can't take pride in service to your country thenI don't know what you can.
I've been through a lot. Not just in the Marine Corps but before and after also. The Marine Corps has pretty much molded me into the person I am today.It made me grow up fast. I never let go of who I was before that time though. Most people do and then they come back and their friends don't recognizethem anymore.
I see myself as an easy person to get along with. I always have been. I tend to make friends easily.
I'm usually passive in confrontations but sometimes I let my adrenaline and testosterone get the best of me.
I'm complicated deep down inside. Most people never see this side of me. I use to smile a lot. I seem like I live day to day but I always have the future inmind. I have dreams and goals just like anyone else. I would want nothing more then just happiness. Happiness through family, friends, spirituality.
I am a Christian. It doesn't always show but this something I struggle with daily. You try being a 23 year old Christian in a world like ours today. Its not soeasy. This is just another piece of the complicated side of me.
I find it is always easier to give advice then to take it.
I long to go back in time with knowledge I have today and live it all over again and at the same time I know everything happens for a reason.
Love is probably one of the greatest things in the world and yet I always seem to screw it up. It hurts to be out of love once you are in love.
I'm in Iraq again. Not with the military this time but with a civilian company. I will most likely do another year over there. After I get back I want to become a police officer in Baltimore County or see what other doors open for me with the company I am currently with.
My priorities in life are family, friends, country, corps.
I've been hurt. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally, and in the end I only become stronger. I've come to accept the fact that life is hard and that you can onlybecome stronger in order that you survive. If you give up then its just not fun any more.
I want people to love me for me and nothing else, if we are friends then don't play with my heart, lets keep it as friends but if you are willing to go that extrastep then don't hesitate.
I'm not easily offended. I like to tell things how they are. I label myself as brutally honest.
I listen to all types of music, all types.
I would like to reach that point in my life where I can say that I am truly happy, look around, take it all in, take a deep breath, and then take a nap, never toawake again.
No offense, but I hardly ever accept picture comments as in pictures in the comment section, so if you post them and I delete them, well... No hard feelings,its just the way it is.
This is who I am, not completely but just a glimpse. Take it or leave it but its not going to change.
