I’ll be perfectly honest, I don’t know really how to define myself. There are many ways to define me, not anyone of them can really give a definitive definition to describe myself. The reason I say this is because when I was a kid, I was a pretty wild child, a real bull in a china shop. I guess having a bad case of ADD will do that to a kid. However, today, I am not a wild person at all. In fact, I’m pretty boring. So I went from being a wild and crazy kid, to a boring and quiet. But despite all that, I can still come up with at least three ways to describe myself; I am sensitive, quiet and supportive. Those three descriptions I feel describe me best. I hope I can do myself justice with these definitions of myself.
Most guys that I know like to try and be, bad-asses, for a lack of a better word. I am no where near that type of guy. So for that makes me a sensitive person. I have always been a soft kind of guy and I don’t care. I am not afraid to cry either. In my opinion, it’s never a good thing to hold in your emotions, it is not healthy. When I’m sad, I let it out, when I’m angry I let it out, but in little bits. If emotion is held in for a long time and when something happens that makes you mad or sad, then all the emotion just explodes out. So I am not afraid of having a sensitive and in my opinion, no one else should be either.
When I said in the beginning, I was a pretty crazy kid. I was totally out of control. However, once I started taking medication, I started to calm down. And I mean I really calmed down. I calmed down to the point where I became a really shy and quiet person. Other than the fact that I can be really medicated, I don’t know for sure why I am so quiet. My theory on why I’m so quiet is because during my wild, crazy weird days, I was picked on a lot by kids. I was always seen as being the strange kid and I was hurt not physically (I was a big kid even back then) but...
