What is your proudest accomplishment?

My proudest accomplishment is accepting myself and believing in my mental strength to move forward. It’s been an extremely tough challenge and a lot of breakthroughs but I now see right through the flaws, I see right through the negative that I am faced with in my life. I’ve opened a lot of new doors that I could never have opened if I wasn’t the person I’ve grown up to be now. My thoughts have now become clearer and open minded. Detours and broken down bridges was what I knew. Grief, disappointment and extreme pain was what I grew up with. I am still struggling but with a positive mind and a smile on my face and my head up. I’ve learned to keep my eyes on the road, not on the rear view mirror.

 

What are the top 5 characteristics you look for in a girl?

Adventurous : Traveling is extremely attractive to me. To discover and to learn about locations, not just to impress me but to automatically be involved in it. One of the biggest turn offs is a girl who rarely goes out and doesn’t explore.

Amusing: I love a girl with a natural sense of humor, I’m quite sarcastic/funny myself, so it matters to me and it makes the relationship a lot stronger and challenging.

Honesty: If she’s willing to be a part of my life, she has to be honest with who she is and stay true to herself.

Challenging: I like a girl who can challenge me to be with her, it makes it more mysterious and suspenseful. I am not the type to have simple relationships. I like roller coaster rides and to get to the end of it safe and sound.

Well spoken: I like a girl who knows how to speak about things that are not so typical, I like how they can reel you in and keep you in a zone that keeps you very interested when they speak. You often learn new things and it keeps me on my toes.

 

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I see myself being strongly involved with people and the world. I can’t exactly say where I will be because there are so many options and I still keep my mind very open about it. I enjoy being around people and always have and I don’t see that changing what so ever.

 

Have you ever been in love?I am currently in love with my girlfriend Abby of 2 years, it’s been challenging and she knows how to treat me right and I know how to treat her right, but our relationship is far from simple which I adore more than ever. Everyday is a new experience.
