Once upon a time I had much more to say about myself. That kind of disappeared. One day I want to make a significant difference in someone's life, maybe I already have. I want to attempt to alleviate this dying world.

To find someone---
who I will not ever want to leave, who can travel through trial and tribulation, who is of most uncommon beauty, who perceives beauty in obscure ways,
who can sacrifice himself for the good of others, who is hungry for attention, who gives, who is not afraid to accept or take what is given, who has great power to influence his surroundings, who can get the most of what he expects, who demands no more than can be given, who has great aspirations, and who is a work of art
---is to find adoration, love, a motivation to carry on.

"...During certain periods of our lives love may seem to fade or even disappear entirely from our emotional palette. But once conceived it never truly ceases to exist. Love is the ultimate survivor. It has a will to live as strong as the will of its human container. If necessary, it may hibernate, withdraw like a turtle into its shell. When it is rebuffed or rejected by the harshness and cold complacency which can be so common in others, it folds in on itself until which time it again feels safe to venture out into a more nurturing environment. But it does not die...
...We are merely passengers on our ship of destiny and love is the compass that guides our journey through life. Whether it is love for another human being, a cherished goal, or a desire to find completeness and meaning to our lives, it bears little consequence on the necessity for following the course that love charts. Love cannot live comfortably in a vacuum. It must be allowed free reign and be given the opportunity to explore beyond the confining walls of self-protection which we construct as barriers to the ravages of life. It is the flagship of our soul and the purveyor of our most cherished dreams of a purposeful existence. Love we hide or hold back from others out of fear is love wasted. It is of no value to us when held inside but can increase in value a hundredfold when shared with another like minded individual or when directed towards a greater aspiration beyond our own selfish needs. -Alan W. Goodson"
