I believe compassion should be a part of everyone's life and in immersing oneself in each moment lived.

I believe in following your heart, your beliefs, and your feelings: they will be your guide throughout life. I believe in staying healthy.

I believe in God and a greater design; in love, humanity, and the wisdom of moderation; the power of a smile, taking life seriously but knowing when to not take life too seriously. I believe that the eyes are the window to the soul, that it's important to never stop learning or questioning, that chocolate sometimes solves all problems, and true happiness has to come from within.

I Am Proud of Believing in God. When I say: "I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'." I'm whispering "I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven." I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide. I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on! I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess. I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it. I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name. I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow.

I don't have a slew of friends, but the friends that I do have generally tend to be very close and that's how I like it.

I used to have the conclusion that life is just a game, with a bunch of tests, lies, and heartaches. Now, I believe that there is someone out there for everyone...someone who doesn't send you a bunch of lies and heartaches...you just need to find the person...you'll be one of the lucky ones and life is then worth it all. I believe in making the best of what you have, loving unconditionally, keeping your head up no matter what, never losing hope, and fighting for what you believe in!

I will occasionally break out of my comfort zone without straying too far from it. Last time I strayed far from it, I broke my finger lol. I can be rational, reasonable, and level headed. I seek my own truth. I'm gentle but can have a temper. I don't crave material things or fancy titles. I have some baggage, as does everyone on this planet. I tend to be hopeful and tend to expect positive outcomes, even if sometimes I doubt myself. I'm generally forgiving and tolerant; however, there can be a limit to it. There are times where I just cannot bring myself to forgive someone, especially when trust is broken. Underneath my hard outer coat, I have a ton of passion that I hide from others.

I would love to be in a long term relationship...be connected to someone...to share my life with someone.

I've always believed that If I don't stop working on my dreams, my dreams will eventually come true. And so far, they have. I have great dreams and ambitions but sometimes following through with those dreams can be difficult.

Heroes

Who can really be a hero these days? Some people are so disappointing. I would have to say the only true heroes these days are those serving/have served in our military (and certainly those who lost their lives to fight for our freedom).
