Hello everyone...

I thought I'd give you all a run down of me. I'm not good at talking about myself, but here goes. I'm constantly learning and changing my mind on labels that I feel comfortable with which makes it difficult for friends. But I try to make progress because change is inevitable progress is not.

I've been in a committed relationship for almost six years, it'll be six years on my wedding day on 3.14.15. She is in the hospital a lot, so I am her caregiver. She has an extreme form of gastroparesis, so she vomits a lot and high blood sugars send her into the hospital. I do all I can for her, but I feel about as useless as teets on a bull. I love her though and I'd never think of leaving her. We are emotionally bonded as that's my first preference, physicality really is secondary for me.

I am an aspiring professional musician, with dreams of one day being able to use my talent to afford the healthcare that my fiance desperately needs. I also would like to have a platform to further acceptance and promote peace. Hippie is a label I'm okay with, but I'm also Goth at times, whatever fits my mood. I'm not going to put myself in a box when it comes to something as trivial as fashion.

I enjoy learning parkour/freerunning, but I'm doing so really casually right now. I took Shorin-ryu karate as a youngster and I would love to return to the martial arts in the form of Kung-fu. I'm out of shape, trying to get back into shape but that's difficult when you're also trying to be a caregiver. Also dealing with intense anxiety and depression sucks. Despite my depression I manage to stay pretty positive.

I'm looking forward to getting to know some other people who believe that love is infinite and cannot be confined. I hope you all are doing well. Take care of yourselves. Namaste.
 
Welcome

Hi tigger4peace,
well done for sticking with and loving your partner the way you do. I understand how depressed one can become because of illness, being a caregiver can be exhausting but that just proves what a beautiful heart you have and empathy is hard to find in people these days.
Keep on doing the things that makes you happy, do a little each day towards your goals and tell yourself that you love you in-spite of how low you may feel.
Good luck:)
