Size Matters!!!
When size matters I’m the guy you’ve been looking for. It’s both BIG and BEAUTIFUL. What’s even more amazing is that I know how to use it. I’ll put it on you. Yep, when size really matters I’ve got the biggest HEART around. Hi, my name is Stephen. I hope I’ve grabbed your attention and made you laugh. The truth is I really do have a big heart. I’m genuine, caring, open-minded, honest, and compassionate. My favorite things in life are being a father (even from prison), laughing, dancing, drawing, reading, intelligent conversation, and staying fit. Currently, my goal is to meet new people who are willing to share their thoughts, stories, and perspectives on life. Let’s share some laughs, get to know each other, and challenge each other’s minds. If you can be a friend, teacher or mentor I’d love to hear from you.
I pose this question, “At what point is a person broken beyond repair?”
The first 9 years of my incarceration I sought refuge in every negative aspect of prison. One day a realization seized me; that I was broken into a million little pieces and repairs were essential...and so the journey began. During the last 4-½ years, endless wisdom was shared with me from quality people who have mended their own broken pieces. I am now part of a cognitive and behavioral modification program known as Therapeutic Community. Through this program I’ve been confronting my past propensity for violence, victims awareness, the emotional scarring of my childhood, and the general brutality of the life I’ve lived….more mending of the broken pieces.
These days I’m really a decent guy who has worked hard to be a man of integrity. People actually come to me for advice and an open ear, because they know I care. I’ve retired the tough guy act and have learned a man can be both strong and compassionate. My nonjudgmental personality and inner strength are high points of my character.
I’m seeking friendships with adventurous, successful, wise, caring, funny, and candid individuals. People who can help me acquire the skills to mend even more of the broken pieces and become an exceptional human being. I’m looking forward to your letter. I’ll see you at mail call.
Warm wishes,
Stephen
A MILLION LITTLE PIECES
The Young Man came to the Old Man seeking counsel
I broke something Old Man.
How badly is it broken?
It is in a million pieces.
I’m afraid I can’t help you.
Why?
There is nothing you can do.
Why?
It can’t be fixed.
Why?
It’s broken beyond repair. It’s in a million little pieces.
