Hi. I am Ryan. I’m still figuring out what that means. Like so many other things, it’s I’m a work in progress. I’m not sure what I am doing. And I’m not sure what I want in life. And I’m not sure if it really matters whether or not I am sure. I feel like I’m constantly stuck right in the middle of a “coming of age†story. I am constantly changing. And, even as adept as I am at description, I don’t believe I can explain myself to you to any particularly satisfactory degree.
Maybe that’s a good thing.
I value honesty quite highly. Not to say that there’s not a time and place for lies in the world, but, generally speaking, I have found that life is much simpler if you avoid getting caught up in them. They’re too consuming. They demand too much commitment. Take up too much time. Run people off in too many wrong directions.
"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." - Mark Twain
I also despise negativity. If you bring much of it forth in my life and I consistently put up with it, I must really, really love you for some reason or another.
I am a somewhat guarded person. However, if you hang around long enough for me to let that down, or just happen to be someone I feel comfortable with, I think you’ll find that I am a worthwhile person to get to know.
I enjoy writing and children and observing/evaluating the behavior of living creatures. I love music, and good lyrics. I proofread things entirely too much. I’m a Gemini, and I actually do believe there is something to be said for that whole “twins†spiel. I enjoy being adventurous. Light-hearted. Humorous. I like to have fun in life. I especially like to make a point of taking time out from the daily doldrums of repetitious responsibility to devote time to experiencing things that make me grin like the Cheshire.
