totally crazy or an idiot.

Because I am 19. And I dropped out of college.

I live and work in the dangerous neighborhoods of Chicago’s West Side.

80% because of God and 20% because of a Keanu Reeves movie.

I do want to go back to school. I want to learn to be a better writer. I want to get a good job. I want to be a better person. I want to be healthy, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Mostly I want to get married. It has been my biggest goal since I was 12. I have had people tell me that it’s a terrible goal. That I am too young to even think about it. 

The best reason I have heard to not get married young is because I am single.. That is a genuinely good point, I must concede.

But that is what I want. It is my primary concern. Where I live, where and when I go to school, what sort of work I do. All of those all secondary to my search for a wife. 

I once wrote a blog about what I was looking for in a girl.

“A partner to face life with.

A woman who I can talk to, tell my truths, my secrets, my dreams to.

I want a girl who sees a boy who is flawed and broken and accepts him.”

To add to that, I want to marry my best friend.

Hurray.
