As Dennis Kimbro said, “Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it,” my life story coincides with Kimbro’s quote. I have never been dealt a group of hardships or unbelievable events like others have. My life has been easy in a sense, but what makes my story unique is how I react to what I have been given. I have had opportunities that maybe everyone has had such as going to school but I have reacted to this opportunity by choosing to try my best at it. I have chosen to apply myself to the best I can in everything I do. So, as I tell my story it won’t be filled with a whole bunch of emotional events but it’s my story and it has made me who I am.
My story began in a hospital delivery room on April 6th, (that was what I was told). It was a special day, for my parents, so to speak. They say I was a Murphy boy, cute (I swear, they said it!), fair, and with curly hair, and named after a boy in a Murphy Radio ad.
I’m very loyal to the people in my inner circle. Loyalty is probably my biggest virtue. I give it to the fullest and also expect the same from the people I give it to. I show utmost care and love to the people that matter to me. I will do anything in my power to keep them happy. I am also slow to anger (which is a bad trait to have, trust me) and can tolerate whatever is thrown at me for some time, at least.
I love music more than anything in this world. I listen to virtually every form of music. I love pop, rock, R&B, and country music. But my heart goes with oldie music. Music from the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, and 90’s as well. I take my music very seriously. Not everyone has access to it. But I am glad that recently, I found someone with whom I share my playlist (and food, unfortunately). That human is fun, and I love sharing my music with that person. She sometimes mad, stupid, and hungry (not sometimes, but always), but overall she is okok, above average. We can manage with her. Fun fact, I used to flip iPods back when I was in school. That was my first encounter with real, hard moneyyy.
I have a keen interest in sports, philately, buying random things, poems, and few things here and there.
The question of who I am seems to be the simplest question one can answer. Yet, when I took the time to try and figure out who am I, I found this question requires critical thinking. In general, the answer to this question is that I am a regular person who loves spending quality time with the people I appreciate and respect. In addition, I dedicate myself to completing my duties, and I have a dream of becoming a simple man.
Stay healthy, stay safe, stay happyy.
