I’m a very sensitive guy.

If someone doesn’t know that about me, then it’s probably safe to assume they don’t know me at all.

A few days ago, I vaguely mentioned that I was seeing someone. This was met with some pretty strong comments. I didn’t post them, because quite frankly I don’t feel like reading them each time I come to my own safe haven site.

Some people thought I was being careless, reckless… downright stupid. Others thought I was just having a fling, a fuck buddy, etc. In other words, I wasn’t being taken seriously on a subject that was serious to me.

This struck a nerve with me on so many levels. Mainly, it bothered me because I am not the type of person to have “flings”. I never have. I do all things with authenticity and genuine feelings.

Second, I wouldn’t have mentioned Brandon unless he meant something to me. A blog is just a very brief and very one sided view of a person’s life. There are obviously a lot of variables in my relationships that I couldn’t possibly convey in my posts. So you just have to take it upon yourself to trust that I use good judgment in my life decisions.

Third, and finally, I just felt a bit deflated, like I had shared something that made me happy and it was met with unkindness.

Now all things considered, I do admit I’m getting too worked up about it. Most of my friends have been extremely supportive and have nothing but nice things to say. So I should just shut up and be thankful that most people do know me. But I just want to clarify any misconceptions about me or what’s been going on.

I’ll share more when the time is right. But for right now, just know that I am happy with the way things are going. I still have some rough roads ahead as I continue to get this house situation worked out with Rodney. But in the mean time… my life is moving on. I like the direction it’s moving, and I hope it continues to go well.

Here’s a photo with Brandon. Please give him a warm welcome:


Friends keep asking me why I seem so cheerful. Well, to start with, I am insanely resilient. I’m not really sure how I developed this quality, but it’s just how I’ve always been. I do have my dark moments, my sad moments, but I bounce back from everything pretty quickly. So all things considered, I’m pretty happy and I’m adapting.

But…

There is something else…

Exactly 2 weeks ago, I sat in bed, closed my eyes, and planned out “the perfect man” for me. I mapped him all out with vivid detail. Once I had created this with absolute certainty, I put that energy out into the world and asked for him to be brought to me.

48 hours later, I had a chance encounter with someone… he matched every single trait that I had requested right down to the last detail. He truly was what you might call a dream come true.

This is all still very new and exciting, so I’m not quite ready to go into detail yet. Plus, it’s in the very early stages. But let’s just say that things are shaping up nicely for me.

I received exactly what I asked for. :)
