Hello Love and Welcome!!! I would love to say that I have a beginning, but I do not. I am just a story continued by two people who foolishly fell in love and now I carry on that story; a story that is finally developing into my own in which I hope to be able to give much purpose with passion, inspiration, laughter, forgiveness, respect and one of life’s most valuable possessions Love. To be honest I don’t know what has overcome me but it’s just as if I finally woke up and came to a realization that I have been looking into the eyes of fear for which fear has been holding me back from freedom, happiness and the worst of all closing a door to my heart to all who try to enter. So I have been slowly and painfully learning that a life lived should be lived as if it’s your last moments; live well whether or not it’s a wealthy one, judge no one and love all who walk into your life because most likely they appeared in it for a reason even if it is for a short period of time, Laugh harder for each tear cried, and last never look back but continue looking forward…. You may say it sounds cliché’ but only a foolish man would speak of that preference because if you opened your eyes you would find its truths. Like all though, I live each day making mistakes, forgetting the little things that are most important, being my own worst critique, having 5 second mood changes, ignoring and possibly judging those who least deserve it, letting technology control me or even letting simple things get the worst of me, but despite all of my every day acts the one thing that I do not do like all is carry the burden of misery. Happiness is a choice… No one ever said it would be easy but it definitely doesn’t have to be hard. Although all Chivalry has disappeared why should you let that be a reason of stopping the most spectacular gifts!! With all that was being said at this moment I have no plans except to be surprised by life’s everyday charitable moments and struggles and take one day at a time. Currently I am a student at Pikes Peak in which I am going to earn a degree in Homeland Security. It carries wonderful knowledge and I highly recommend taking the class for intellectual reasons. Although I am earning a degree in that industry it is not what I have chosen as a career. Thus far in my life I am determined to become a Prenatal Nurse and further advance in the medical Field as a Phlebotomist. Recently I received my certificate in Phlebotomy and couldn't be more proud of myself. It has been more of a challenge than I thought but it will be widening my opportunity and experience. With much thought and consideration I have decided to make the decision of volunteering in the Peace Corps to give life and love to those who suffer and hope that I take a great experience from it and carry on its legacy…. I can’t make any guarantees to myself except to take what life gives me and hope that in the end my journey was well worth it!!!!
