A Little Bit About Me
I don't understand why love seems so complicated, but I see it so simply. When I was 2 years old, I saw my step-father punch my mother for the first time and I was confused. My mother told me two nights before... this: "Hey Curtis, when you find your special one, cherish her. Curtis, a relationship is teamwork and caring for each other. I love you and I will never hurt you." I took my toy bat and hit my step-father in the knee, nothing happened, but I did get punched by him. My step-father was nothing like his father or brother. My step-father knew what he was doing was wrong, he just chose to be a coward and not face his demons. His brother and father truly believed what they were doing was "Good" it's scary to know that these people exist. I'm sharing this because in my opinion I know what love is, there are three different types of love. First, infatuation, known as sexual attraction or love at first sight. Second, personal love, known as loving them for who they are, the good and the bad in them. Third, unconditional love, the kind that never goes away, it's a family bond. I've been through quite a bit in my life, but I choose my happiness. In my eyes, happiness is a choice, even when life is hell or decides to rip you from everything i.e. money, kids or home. Look at the sky and just say "I'm beautiful and I may not be my best self, but you look beautiful." I know most people believe I do not understand, but I do. I know what it's like to be beaten because someone believes you're something else, I know what hatred entails, I'm no victim or survivor. I'm just me.
