Self-Reflection

I am blessed. I need to realize this for myself because there have been many times where

I have doubted that. I have been given the strength and discipline to develop into a man at a

young age. I have had the mental capacity to deal with and abusive father and a completely

handicapped mother. These hardships turned me into the mentally strong man I am today. I can

give these gifts back by protecting my children and wife from the pains that I have experienced.

As a married man I would see myself thriving. I have always been that person who needs

to be with women and have a constant person of interest. A true loving relationship would

provide me with support and love which I have always been searching for. A man who has a

family is someone who is selfless and forever giving. These are qualities I feel I have expressed

throughout my life.

The single life would probably be the most fun; however, it would also be my

destructive. I feel that not having someone traveling life with me could lead me to make some

bad decisions which could affect my life. I would defiantly live my life more freely, but then

again that could be bad if nobody is there to keep me in line.

The consecrated life would not be very interesting to me. That could change because I am

still young and my age is probably the cause for my beliefs in religion, but I will grow and

change as I experience more of life. Religion could also be a support line for me when nothing

else seems right. Yes, I may not believe in God right now but if I suffer like I did before I could

see myself looking into faith more for support.
