"Some of us are just gay and average" This is a quote that I heard from a movie (The Broken Hearts) and I think that it fits me pretty well. I mean, I understand that I am a wonderful person and I strive to live life to the fullest, but at the end of the day, I am me.
How would I discribe myself, humm... I think that I would start with explaining where I came from. Growing up as a homosexual boy from a small town in Iowa is never easy, but somehow I made it out of there and went on to bigger and better things. I didn't know what gay was growing up, just want my peers said, and that didn't discribe me, so I thought, no I can't be gay. I was just a simple midwestern boy who was attracted to other boys.
I love my friends, they are another big part of who I am. My friends are loving and supporting, they are positive and contribute to the world in wonderful and unique ways. I strive to be worthy of their love and affection, and any successes that I have within my life can be attributed to them in part.
God blessed me with a wonderful family, granted there are certain aspects of my family that I choose to not associate with any longer (or more correctly they choose to turn their backs on me). If you ask me, I feel that I am better off without them, because after they are gone from my life, I am left with only the best of the best. My mother gave me my moral code, that is what I tell people. She taught me right and wrong and good and evil. She was the best I could ever have. Without her I would be nothing.
My sister I have to mention to. I know that she turns to me for strenght and I have felt her ask for my approval in certain ways. She needs to know that, in truth, she is the strong one. I don't know how I would have made it growing up without her there to share it with me.
My brother is another one that I need to speak of. He had a rocky start. I grew up idolizing him. I wanted to be him, but then he fell off the wagon. I watched him fall further than anyone I have ever witnessed. But, good shall always prevail, and in his life it did. He taught me that a person can be redeemed and that with the grace of God, he can wash away sins and have the chance to start again. His loving wife stood beside him through it all and together they created Jeremiah and Xavier, whom are both destained for greatness. I pray that God grants them all the blessings in the world because this family unit deserves them.
Who would have thought that God would have brought together Miguel and I. How could he bring two people from such different backgrounds together. Miguel is my other half. I have learned that without him I am left empty and my life is missing meaning. No, we didn't break up or anything, but living apart while I am in San Diego and he is in Iowa has been challanging. I owe him everything that I am, for without him I would be nothing. I pray that God will grant me the strenght to make it through these hard times without him. Protect us while we are apart. God has blessed this relationship and we will honor the promises to each other.
I am Me, Robert. In discribing me, you need to know who I know and what they taught me. Hardships in my life have been overcome and I have been left as a individual who is... anything but average. {}
