Once upon a time, I had a really great life. Then one day, my whole world got turned upside down. And now here I am trying to pick up the pieces. It's strange to say that I've been locked up for nearly 10 years. As horrible as it has sometimes been, it has gone fast. Now, I'm down to my last few years, so I'm taking a chance with this profile to maybe find someone to share a life with. I'm a simple person. I have 2 kids who are the love of my life. They'll always be my #1 priority.

I love being outside. I used to go hiking any chance I got. I love the ocean, and I love to fish. I like to go camping and sleep under the stars. But I also like being inside too. I can curl up on the couch and binge watch TV episodes and be perfectly happy. I like going out to eat, but I also like to cook, and I'm good at it! I'm a clean person and can't stand clutter. I'm honest - too honest for my own good, and I hate a liar. I believe that someone should always be honest, say what you mean, mean what you say, and always keep your word. Because sometimes your word is all you have.

I have a career I'm going to as an optician when I leave here. I have not wasted my time while incarcerated and have taken every opportunity to better myself through the years. I'm looking for someone similar to me, who doesn't take life too seriously. Someone who shares some of my interests, but also has their own. Someone who won't mind if I sing along to the radio even though I'm a bad singer. Someone who also puts their kids first, if they have them, and someone who loves hard. I need someone open-minded. I want to be with someone who isn't judgmental, who is kind, caring, self-sufficient, and has their life together. But most of all, someone who can make me laugh. I'm not looking for someone who is still into playing games. I want someone real. I've lost too much of my life, and I'm ready to live again. I'd really like someone who wants to do the same.
