I am 33. I think I'm in good working order (laugh here). I amm a bi guy who has left a long marriage to a woman. I decided at this point in life i'd much rather be with men in general. Lot's of reasons, but chief among them are the facts that my kids are the only kids I want to have or have to care for. I love my two boys and I wouldn't ask them to blend in with another family or some such thing. I am not selfish that way, just practical. Another reason for me is I am finding men simply more compatible with my chosen lifestyle as an artist. That is not to say I am down on women, but I have made my choice. So if one ever gets to choose to be gay here it is. I wouldn't say being bi is much of a choice though! That part is impossible to deny and I have never been able to be in the closet. It was not easy growing up "out" but I got through it and look where I am. I think I love myself and my life right now. For the most part anyway - who doesn't have questions or issues?
I'm a Buddhist - not a fru fru poseur type, but actual and serious. I do yoga as a way to access the body meditations as well as the mindful state. I think it is not a thing for show - however I am glad to share my peacefulness and joy in self actualization with my friends. It is a big part of my life now. As I have become more and more myself this part of my life has grown as well. The understanding of the world through the eyes of compassion and ethics changes things from an ego/morality play to a interdependent coexistence. I prefer to see myself as acting in sycronicity with life. This sounds all deep and truthfully it is both deep and simple.
I am downright 100% glad to be living in a time when I can share some of myself and get new perspectives. I think we are very lucky to be able to get to know each other this way. So... Nice to meet you. Feel free to talk with me if you like.
