I was challenged by for in her post about Ten Truths about her that you can relate to to tell her something true about myself. Well, I'm not gonna tell that many things, but I did see some posts by members of #thealliance that had 5 fun facts, so I'll try for that.
My true passion is performance spoken word poetry, but I have only performed once, really. Even though it is my passion, I only "write" about one or two pieces a year and when I do, they are committed to memory as I write them and are usually never actually written until well after their creation.
I have 3 kids and I call them my babies. I am much more affectionate with them than most guys. This is truly odd for me because I'm not really affectionate towards anybody else except for my wife. I feel like they're my purpose in life. I don't write about them too often, but they are always on my mind. I am away from them at the moment due to a job that has me out of the country for a while.
I always find myself in leadership positions though it's usually the last thing I want to do. I mean, don't get me wrong, I have opinions and observations, and I don't mind sharing those, but I hate being in a position to push my beliefs on anybody. I will not hesitate to fill a vacuum if no leader is available, but I don't desire the position and will willingly give it up if a leader comes along.
I'm a watcher. I like to sit back and observe before I get involved in something. I analyze situations and try to determine facts. I come to my own conclusions, but I like to let people come to theirs as well because I feel like I learn more about them that way, and I often garner new perspectives.
Nobody in real life knows I am a poet. I just don't share that part of me with too many people. I have written many poems about and for my wife, but she has never seen them. I will show them to her one day when we're old. That's one of my main reasons for joining Steemit. I want my work preserved forever on the blockchain, immutable and unchangeable. One day after I'm dead, my family will find this stuff, and my hope is that it will relay how much I really loved them.
