I know it's been a while but life happens. I'm glad that there are people who still read my stuff after years of being gone and help to remind me that I love writing and should do it more often again. This is the chapter I couldn't find the subject for so I made it up. I hope y'all like it. I own nothing.

I Am

I've been asked who I am by a lot of my friends. I haven't learned that yet. I thought I was the advice giver or the helper but that's not always who I am. I, Arnold, has no earthly clue who I am. So to find out I just picked up and left. I needed to find myself in this world I looked at with rose colored glasses.

I found out that I'm too nice and got led into compromising situations but once I stood up for myself I got out of it mostly unscaved.

I found out that love and lust can feel the same and hurts just as badly.

I found out that I missed certain people in my hometown more than I like to admit.

I found a balance between my morale compass and how the world works too. I've seen things in my past that I didn't know was happening to those I knew. I didn't know it was warning signs until I went into the real world. I know now what my purpose is for my future because I know who I am. I'm still me but with more understanding of the world around me. I can help people better and I get what love really is. I can put my foot down and still be kind. After all that I finally went back home to see the damage I caused because looking back I know I did but I needed to know myself.

Thanks for reading and have yourself an adventure.
