About Peacefully
To me, a relation is not something to take lightly. I also don't want to be so serious that I can't enjoy myself or be able to learn and grow together. It takes a grown man to be able to admit mistakes and I have had my fair share. Now that I understand where I went wrong and some of the things that I was wronged by, I am ready to engage in the "ultimate" commitment. There are little things that make a relationship special and it starts with having a connection that is based on trust, honesty and understanding. In my opinion, based on my past experiences, it is not wise to start a relationship with physical closeness. You know what I mean? It has to start with the discovery of "who" that person it and what they mean to you. Is it a friendship, is it a confidant, or is it more than both? Once you know what you want from a relationship, and you discover that the person you are with is what you want, then it is time to proceed further in that exploration of companionship. I do know that I want to be in a relationship where I can enjoy things that I like and also have room to allow my companion to enjoy what she wants. It helps to share common interests but it is still good have space for personal time. Part of what makes a life enjoyable is having excitement. So having everything in common can turn out to be boring, over time. But we don't want differences to bother each other. If one person smokes cigarettes and the other person doesn't, that is not excitement; it will be one of those things that harms the health of the relationship. I don't smoke and I will not be happy with someone who does smoke "cigarettes." Now consider my love for football. If you don't like football, it may appear that I am spending too much time being preoccupied by the sport. But if you like to watch football, then we can share that time together. If you can throw and catch a football, then we can play together. Then, when I start to write football plays on paper from time to time, it won't be such a big deal. Of course, football is not my entire world. In fact, I have many passions in life. One passion that I have is pleasing the person that I am attracted to. So, with that, I will have times that I will not be occupied by my hobbies because I have passions to tend to. Describing myself in not easy; I like to go with the flow, most of the time. I enjoy cooking for people but I gave up professional cooking because I had higher quality standards than my employers'. That says a lot, doesn't it? Believe me, it took a lot to get to that point and it was not an easy decision for me because I love to cook. Now that I have a degree in nutrition, I have a different outlook on food. I will still cook my favorite comfort foods but I understand that I must minimize the frequency of my consumption. On the other hand, studies have proven that people will absorb more nutrients from foods that they like or foods from their ethnic up-bringing when compared to foods with similar nutrient content. So I have an open mind in that sense; while I still want to be healthy. It is about awareness, for the most part. Another part of my life that is important to me is family. I do have a son that I absolutely love and want to spend as much time with as possible. He lives with his mother but will stay with me from time to time. This is not an option, so if you are not okay with that, then it simply will not work out. Now, about my physical attributes: I am about five foot, six inches in height. I weigh 135 pounds and sometimes up to 145. I am fairly active and I do like to keep in shape. I am hoping that staying in shape is not a struggle for you. I want to enjoy life and not be stuck on personal improvements. Making upgrades in life is normal, however. When I have time, I like to travel, go camping, maybe catch a movie, go bowling, take walks, or just make a meal and spend a romantic evening at home. I also like to write. Just before football season starts, I get inspired to write football plays. Sometimes I write my dreams down on paper and then try to expand them into a story. I may decide to write a book someday. I also like to write poetry. And I could also write a cook book. I do like to express myself in writing. As my companion, you may find a short note, a poem, or a few pages of my thoughts towards you. I do enjoy romance and I hope that you do as well. Still, I find it difficult to write about myself. I hope that this all makes sense and that you find yourself captivated enough to seek the explorations in life with me. I could not complete a discussion about who I am without mentioning my love for Christ. Without Christ, my mistakes would weigh so heavily that I would drown in life. I have been blessed and I have suffered only to find that I am still blessed. If you know Christ, then you understand what that means. I don't go to church on a regular basis, but I carry my beliefs with me throughout life. By all means, have peace in whatever you do.
