BioThe new title will likely be labeled as pretentious by some, but really, that's of no matter to me.
This place is for my thoughts, my purpose and a faithful pursuit of the joyous life I know is possible. A person's life is one's own creation; for me, it's too short to waste years in the foolish pursuit or acceptance of something less passionate and beautiful. If anyone should read my words and feel a desire to put me into their view of "my proper place" with unkind thoughts or words, please spare yourself the effort. There is too much unkindness and cruelty in this world already; for my own part, I have no room for it.
I know the person I am at my core and what I offer in this life; I will remain true to that person and one other. I will continue to follow what I feel in my heart. I know what beauty, love, honor, grace, gentle kindness and destiny are in this world and I faithfully embrace them all.
I think always of my life, a life that only truly began just a few years ago. I think of all I have willingly explored, prepared, changed and shaped in myself in my desire to be with only one other; I find no regret in that effort. I think of another's words that capture the experience so succinctly; that at times my memories feel more real than what stands before me. It is in these moments that I completely understand why there is no other path I can follow, and why I feel no desire to find another.
This life is too short to waste years, months, days or even minutes. And I'm still here, I'm still alive.
To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven.
