me iThink therefore iKickass

I'm a lover and a fighter, a romantic and a cynic. I read deep philosophical tomes and watch cartoons. I have swam in oceans, hiked on mountains, ran races, driven through the US from coast to coast, and sky-dived. I've made split second decisions to drive from the big city to the country. I believe in love and its ability to supersede any obstacle, but my feet are firmly grounded. I'm not afraid to admit weakness, and I think it is very important to make virtue a habit. A muscle grows stronger with use, and a mind stretched to new dimensions is never the same again.

When I first met you, you were a man at war with the world. But I was instantly captivated by you. I saw behind your sullen, guarded gaze a story that could move the heart and change the world. A story of heartbreak, defeat, and rebirth. You were haughty, critical, and aloof. The type of man that I vowed to never love, but secretly knew would be the end of me.

But I was wrong.

You are not the end, but the beginning. 

I really wanted to hate you, to keep you at arm’s length. But I found I liked your smile very much. When you smile, I catch a fleeting glimpse of the man you might have been, if the world had been a different place. 

 But darling, you are perfect. Perfect for me, and that’s all that matters.
