Personal experiences, of which I have survived FAR too many, in Life SHOW you the kind of person you are.. Standing outside a fire.. (I honestly admit this is JUST an example, not a personal experience.. *blink* at least not one I remember.. But I freely admit there are MANY things in My life that I do not fully, and at times, even PARTIALLY remember..)
I have survived things no person should ever face.. I have been accused of exaggerating experiences I have survived.. *shrug* I express these things to those I believe need to hear them.. NOT for support, not for sympathy, but only because these are experiences that have added to the entire equation that makes Me, quite literally ME.. The man, the Warrior I am today.. SOME experiences I am not proud of, I freely admit. SOME, I freely admit TERRIFY Me.. But they ALL add to the final equation and totality of Me..
I cannot, and WILL not downplay the facts. I will not hide, or conceal facts I cannot explain, am not proud of, or had no control over.. I am ME. I claim NOTHING more than that, nor will I ever.. I am only who and what I am.. I will never pretend to be otherwise..
