At this point I'm going to assume you're fishing for compliments... hahaha but I know your not but at the same time I get it. From what we spoken about I can see why u thought that but when u got around more people they let u know, what you always have been lol that happens being in a small town that's has racial issues and when u go somewhere else with more people and bigger, you just stand out more and people gonna let u know lol

Pity, that. I think you're pretty. I'm glad you got past that stage.

I learned that I have an ability to block out pain which may actually be to my detriment.

I had a bullet in my leg for a few days because I thought a bullet would hurt more. That was bad. I've had shrapnel in my chest and back that took years to get out sometimes. That was good. Didn't hurt the whole time. My hand was on fire one time and I didn't notice. Thankfully it was only "mild" second degree burning that has since healed. I had to wrestle with a wolf one time and got scratched up pretty bad, but I guess that was good that I didn't realize and let go, because that might have gone worse. When I had a heart attack I just found it to be a mildly odd feeling. That easily could have killed me if I dismissed it. I broke two bones in my foot once and walked a few dozen miles afterwards. That was good (I got there) and bad (because it was WAY harder to reset). When I got stabbed in the rib I was more incensed than shocked, so I didn't pull back/retreat and get MORE f'ed up... that'd probably be in the "good" column. I had really bad walking pneumonia in Kabul one time. My pulse ox was 82 which I guess was bad because they seemed shocked when I told them I'd walked a couple miles to get to the hospital, but I had no other way to get there. It had hurt to breathe for a while, but I just kinda wrote it off to shite air quality and work fatigue. Guess that was bad, but good that I got there.

Basically I try to always LOOK and assess when I feel something unique or noticeable now so I can determine if it's causing lasting or catastrophic damage or something that I can just work out. I'm not always right, so I learned sometimes I should ask someone else too.

This life I have is my own. And I plan to live it how I see fit. All my life I've people pleased, not engage in fights, and just did what people told me to do. These things may seem different but it's all rooted to I was a doormat. If someone didn't like what I was doing, I try and see it their way without asking why. Why should I change for them? I had no answer besides it's how life is. But once I learned that life is what you make it, all their concerns, looks, and judgement just... faded away. And ever since that realization, life is more fulfilling. <3

I think apparently how goofy I can be. It wasn't until college I had people telling me that I was goofy or silly.

Honestly, I have no clue. Craziest part is, people who don't know me can literally tell everything about me just from my eyes.

I never really thought of myself as a good catch. After I got married suddenly I started getting propositions by women. Some of them were really hot too. Too bad I was married
