Its been many months since ive visited DA and im happy to finally be back. Ive gone through countless changes and countless tragedies as well. Im learning to cope with life in a better way and i believe that i have finally found a love that will last. it took me some time to realize that ive been searching for a love that i thought i was not recieving from my family, ive found the acceptance that ive craved for many years and ive aquired a confidence in myself and my abilities that i cant even fathom. I believe i owe it all to the woman who i hope to one day call my wife (though it probably wont be in the state of VA). in the few months ive been away from DA ive grown as a person and individual. ive learned to thank God for my blessings and be appreciative of what i have because nothing lasts forever. Ive learned to not harbour anger or resentment. Im glad to say that with this epiphany comes a new me. a more confident and secure me. and with this new me will come new art and new creations..but believe me the freakiness is still here ...so for those of you who have taken an interest in my poetry and for those of you who know me or knew me...im back and better then ever!!
