Life is Hell and then there are moments of clarity and bliss that seem to make the hell worth enduring. Trying to sum myself up in a paragraph seems impossible. I’m a bit of a jackass and I can be very needy at times. I’m extremely passionate about life and I live it with a great deal of intensity. I’m not going to waste your time with some fake smoke screen. What you see is what you get. If you’re the type of person that’s not overly sensitive and feels that you only get out of life what you put into it, then there’s a slim possibility that we might be compatible. I believe in self transparency in every sense.
The most influential person in my life was my grandfather. He was a hard working German immigrant. He supported a wife and 5 kids on a plumber's salary. He taught me many lessons about integrity, love of nature and life, hope and perseverance. His lessons have helped me to find peace in myself. I learned that the key to believing in yourself is to have a clear conscience. He taught me that we are defined by our honesty, sincerity, the good deeds that we do for others and that sometimes the risk of insult, is the price of clarity.
The most important quality that I seek in a friend and partner is self transparency and transparency with others. Let your confidence be defined by your own sense of truth. People who are overly sensitive or rude usually hate themselves. It’s very clear if you watch carefully. Either you’ve hit bottom enough times to see the truth of what you are or you haven’t. You can’t be self transparent until you’ve faced the darkest parts of yourself and overcome them.
