who am I

who am I:

I am a man who makes no apologies. I am an American, but am human. I have rights and I believe in America and what it was founded on, yet I respect your culture. I am not a Republican, nor am I a Democrat, but I accept those parties. I'm not a socialist, and I am not a progressive, but feel that both have something to offer. I'm conservative about some things, while liberal about other things. I am self taught with a public education. I believe in world peace, but feel the need for strong security. I believe that anyone has the right to be in my country, but also feel the need for its security.

When it comes to religion I am a believer in God and put my trust into him, but I do not attend church for I cannot afford to praise him there. I believe in freedom of religion, and respect other religions and would hope the same in return. I believe that God loved us and in doing so, he gave his only son to save us. I believe in the bible and its words in the way that it was written and feel that modern day interpretation clouds its truth. I am a sinner.

I believe in the "Golden Rule" and I try using it daily as I would want it done unto me. I believe in dreaming, and strive to achieve those dreams even when faced with obstacles. I'm a dreamer. I have faults and imperfections. I am not perfect.

I know that one day I will die and will have only made but a small imprint on this world and I have accepted that. I am not afraid of death and understand it is a way of life. I fear the loss of others and do not handle grief well. I am alone and I am loved. I live each day the way I want to live it and have no regrets when I lie down to sleep. I have good friends and am friends with good people. I will lead if you need me, and I will follow you anywhere.

So, who am I? I am you, and in many ways you are me. I only want your acceptance... because I have already accepted you.
