New Topic... Me.

My path towards self-acceptance has placed me at a crossroads. At this point in my life, as I attempt to define myself according to the guidelines set forth by society, my struggle in achieving a persona congruent with such guidelines could be viewed as an utter failure. Family man?- Divorced. Tough guy?- Never really been in a fight. Provider?- I'm in debt. It's so easy for me to point out my flaws, it seems their abundance has reached cataclysmic levels.

Despite my failings, I do hold strong to those attributes in which I have relied upon through it all. Could I have approached life in a more favorable manner? Of course I could have. But I didn't.

Here, now, I set forth goals I intend to achieve in the near future. While my adherence to these stated goals may depend less on such statements and more on events affecting my life on a daily basis, the simple act of stating my goals in a public forum will either lead me to delete this post in the morning or keep it up as a means of wrestling free the inner drive lying dormant inside me, away from the constraints of self-doubt.

1. I'm done feeling sorry for myself.
2. I do have plenty to offer this world.
3. Love is real.
4. Fear is nothing.

Good night...
