A Proper Introduction

Let me explain the title of this out-pour first. I hate giving up. Even when I am simply looking for something that I have lost in my hopelessly dirty room, it will take an hour sometimes because I want to know that I have accomplished the goal that I set out for myself. Sometimes this quality is a great strength and other times it is an annoying weakness. Am I a perfectionist? Not exactly. Its simple, I want to be the best that I can be. Some of you may be suggesting that I join the Army. Not the same kind of best I am thinking. As long as I have the integrity to know that I have done my absolute best, I can face much adversity. It's surprising the amount of freedom that realization has given me.

Now that you know that, something else that you may want to know is that I love people. I have found myself surrounded by the most intriguing individuals on the planet. Eventually I would like to write a book filled with pictures and descriptions of all the personalities I have come across. (Book for myself and not for everyone in the world to read.) Of the people that I dearly love my family is high on the list. With friendship being so important to me, I used to put them on the back burner more often than not. This is really a shame. As cliche as it is, much of who I am today is because of the things I learned from my family. Each and everyday I find something else that I find myself saying, "I think that because of situations that I have seen come through my house." You simply cannot replace lessons like that. Friends are family are my life.

To conclude, today I was described as considerate, thoughtful, and exuberant. Being called these things was an honor. Thanks to the people that made my smile be more than just showing my teeth!
