People give me SO much crap when they find out I'm not uh partnered. As if that should be the defining metric of my success in life.

When the thing about me that does give me pride is how far I've come as a person. How I no longer settle for things, people, circumstances whatever doesn't serve me. How I'm able to stand up for myself and others. Staying true to my convictions.

That's my journey. And it'll never end.

Funny enough some people give me crap about that too. Like I'm supposed to be a fixed point they can project their failings on and be accepted for. Like it's ok to settle for less in yourself.

The only things I accept in people are the things they acknowledge and plan on working on. Or the things that aren't that bad.

. Day in day out I try so fucking hard to better myself. I've never been lonely enough in my life to accept any old person that comes my way. There doesn't exist a time this will change. I can very much see that now.

I'm told I come off as intense. By friends. People I meet. Online and offline. And I mean. I can see it. But that isn't true. I mean. All the time. I just. I don't have the energy to go through each individual person filtering them out. Self filter, please. Look at yourself. It's not gonna be your body or hobbies or whatever that holds sway over me. It's gonna be who you are. Today. Who you were yesterday in comparison to today. And who you're trying to become. What you value. Who you respect. Who you tolerate.

I'm 6'1 no kids. None wanted. I like naps, potatoes and biking. I read a metric fudge ton and study a metric duck ton and write a metric duck ton. I do everything in large amounts. Let's just say that.

I'd strongly prefer you were in or around central Florida. I don't plan on staying here forever, but I'm here now. And long distance grinds my gears. But I mean. If my words resonated with you THAT much then let's see what we can see
