What can I write here? I am half way through the thirtieth year of my life and I know less than I ever have before. But here’s a few tidbits. If you can make sense of anything, let me know. I’m still working on it.

1. Ever seen that movie “Saved?” The one with the kids in a Christian school? Well, I can tell you from experience that that movie is not an exaggeration. I can tell you that because I lived it. Ask me about some movie or song or cultural event from the 80’s or 90’s and you’ll usually get a blank stare from me. I probably wasn’t allowed to watch it. There are huge gaps in my cultural upbringing that are testiminent to the shoebox I grew up in.

2. Two weeks ago, I nailed the final coffin in this life when I lost my virginity.

3. I wander. A lot. If you ever have the opportunity to go shopping with me, you are sure to get annoyed when you look up and realize that I’ve disappeared. I get bored waiting around and always end up wandering off somewhere. But I always come back. Because of this, I tend to move a lot. At the moment, I work freelance and live in a small beach town in South America. I’m sure I’ll have to update this section often.

4. Sometimes I forget how beautiful and strong I really am. But then again, don’t we all need to be reminded of this?

I have spent most of my life hiding the parts of me that I was unsure of. The older I get, I more I see how this harms me and harms the relationships that I have. If I cannot accept myself, how can anyone else? This blog is part of an attempt to change that. To be who I am, accept where I am and allow others to be a part of it. There are a lot of people that will most likely not be happy with the things I post here and the path that I have chosen. I don’t know what to do about that. I can only say that I am attempting to live a life of truth, whatever that may be. To live a life without fear. And to be who God has made me to be.
