2010-2011 hasn't been kind to me. I moved away for love and left my old life--I risked everything, only to be devastated and betrayed. I then returned to the area, and was devastated and betrayed by yet another shortly thereafter. To top it off, I ended up coming back during a major recession in my area and it's been a task trying to get my life re-started ever since. However, with every downfall comes a shining light to guide me towards something better.
My light of guidance is knowledge. One thing I learned is that I need normalcy in my life with someone balanced. I'm looking for someone mentally stable who makes good decisions and thinks of others before making them, likes to share, has a conscience and uses it, and believes in working things out before making rash decisions. I'm looking for someone who can inspire me each and every single day to want to be a better man and, in turn, by being that man I can inspire her to be the woman she has always dreamed of.
I can stand by her side and give her plenty of laughter and hope, can fill her mind with new ways of looking at the world, make her realize that some men do still have romance instilled within them and have the desire for something long-term, and can put her in awe of how I stand firmly by my ideals and won't let society influence my decisions when I believe that they are sound ones.
