“Here lies a man who made the most of life!!” People around the world have endured harsh circumstances and refused to be defined by them. I strive to be such a man. Battered, beaten, and bloody I am pushing ahead.
I am a straight 38 year old man in the prime of life. I live in the midst of darkness, but am not overcome. I am dedicating my life to helping others. While I have a stretch of road before I see the light of parole, so many people around me are leaving daily. I use my past self as an example of how easy it is to get sucked into negativity. My hope is to leave some small mark of goodness on the world.
If I were to describe my true self, I would say I am a thoughtful, nonjudgmental, caring individual who doesn’t always know how to express himself. I am an artist of promise specializing in portraits, and a poet who channels negativity out of his life through the written word. I am an avid reader drawn to real stories of hope where people defy the odds. In the future I would like to be a loving father and a caring husband. For now, I am okay with finding a few friends with whom to share the journey.
I am not looking for anything except a caring person with whom to correspond. The darkness is cold and lonely. I will make every effort to respond to every person willing to write.

Until I hear from you,
Timothy Payne
