I'm not a debater, I don't think quick enough on my feet.  I am not an arguer, nor do I like confrontation as I prefer a peaceful environment.  I don't know all the answers to life's problems, nor would I want to.  Too much weight to bear.  I only know how "I" feel about issues and everyday life.  I do not feel the need to explain my beliefs to anyone, as they are only mine and I do not expect anyone else to believe the way I do.  I do not have to join you in your political or religious doctrines.  They are yours, not mine. I do not feel I have to explain my position on any subject to anyone but myself. I tend to be introspective, and probably to some, boring.  I am honest and I expect the same in return.  I require little in material things, but I do have my weaknesses.  I like to live simply, practice kindness, and share when I am able.  I love to listen and learn from others.  Interesting people and interesting lives add to my own knowledge base.  I am not particularly funny, but I enjoy crazy people.  I tend to be too serious; but, that doesn't mean I want to be serious all the time.  I pick those close to me carefully.  I am uncomfortable in crowded surroundings and group social situations.  I much prefer one on one conversations.  I am fiercely loyal to those I love.  I love to learn and absorb the world around me...yet stand apart from it.  I feel deeply, I cry freely, and I worry constantly about those I love.  I do not pretend to be smart, or clever, or even well spoken.  But I would like to be remembered as being a nice person.  I know my impact on the world is minimal; but to those I love it is hopefully meaningful.  I can leave no real legacy other than the fact that while I was here, I tried to be the best that I was capable of being.
