Well, I was back around Christmas, then found out a friend of mine passed away from an over dose. My grandfather died about 3 months later and I ended a one year relationship with someone because of my own weaknesses. Time has aged and changed me. I am now 28 years old, single and struggling to make ends meet with this life I've chosen. It's amazing to see so many of you, how friendly you have all been to me and that is much appreciated, truthfully. Other sites like myspace or facebook, people tend to ignore or just want a little plaything on the side. Here feels like a real community, and because it is I appreciate all the kind words, and those of you that haven't forgotten me. I haven't finished my training yet. I am studying muay thai and bushido/iaido. Everything has fallen into place about who I am, what I can accomplish, so now that I'm back in NYC I can relax and enjoy the things yet to come. I've grown so much since then. Though I still hurt from past experiences in which I am learning to just let go of those burdens and traumas. With all that said, it's good to be back. I hope you all are well as well as your families. Until the next time. ~J~
