Low profile

There are lots of different people

I suppose I have been around many different types of people in my 53 years of life. I have not been around the “high rollers” but lots of normal, simple people. Simple people, like I consider myself to be. I am not sure what makes a person successful in life. I suppose first off you have to determine what you mean by “successful”. I suppose I think of successful as a person who has a decent amount of money. A person who has a little extra. Also a person who has a solid network of close friends. I know I am not successful. I suppose at one time I could have been more successful when I was younger. Now, I am an older person I think that the best is pretty much behind me. In my future all I hope to do is maybe travel and photograph new places and things. I would also like to move out West to the American Southwest. Chicagoland is ok, but there is not scenic beauty here. Tracks of modest, suburban houses laid out in grids. I suppose people who are successful had a certain energy and maybe an ego? I see people on TV and I can’t understand how some of these people are so full of themselves. It is really sickening. But some of these people that have big egos are the ones that are making the most money. They are the ones able to travel on private jets to Europe and elsewhere. I suppose I envy some of them. I think I respect the more low key successful people  the most.

I was and am a slacker

I have always been a dreamer and a slacker. I am 53 and I won’t change. I let lots of opportunities slip past my fingers. I was foolish. I made my mistakes before and I will probably keep making mistakes in the future. I have a solid family that I love and rely on. Thankfully they love me. I am a good son and I think I am an ok citizen here in the United States. I suppose I could be a good partner to a nice lady too. I try to be honest with myself. I never caused anyone any problems intentionally. I don’t think I ever stole or lied to gain anything. I never hurt anyone emotionally and physically. I try to let people do what they want, as long as it does not effect me. I will stand up for myself if I feel that someone is crossing one of my boundaries.

My future

I am trying to take care of my mental and physical health. I try to eat better. I should exercise, but am a bit lazy. I would like to weigh less. In my future, I hope to travel and photograph my travels. I would love to goto Europe again and other places in the United States. I hope that these things become a reality one day. I also hope to meet new people and make more solid friends. I think I am a good friend to people who can be patient with me. I may frustrate or put people off upon first meeting a person.
