Who Am I?

Life has changed quite a lot since I stopped posting. I've lost loved ones to death and circumstance, and gained a few more while continuing to learn about myself along the way.

My name is Destiny. I was born on May 13, 1990. I'm a Taurus, and accordingly strong willed and thick skulled. I'm a Christian, believing in Christ the Redeemer, the Heavenly Father, and the Holy Spirit. I don't go to church, but worship at home. I'm not a shining example of a human being, let alone a Christian, but I pray at least a little every day, and fight to be the best person I can be.

I am open minded, doing my best to show respect to others regardless of faith, sexual orientation, or anything except their actions. I've been told I'm way too forgiving, letting loved ones walk over me until I've finally had enough. I've also been told I have a bit of a temper; I've been working real hard to change that, over the years. I've mentioned that I'm stubborn; if I believe in something, I'll be damned if I'll let anyone tell me I can't achieve it. Most of my friends have moved on to greener pastures, but my faith in them is strong. The few that I keep these days, I treasure with all of my heart.

I've made some mistakes in my life. I've hurt people I loved, and lost some of them because of it. I'm too naive, so blinded by affection that I sometimes fail to see the horns beneath the halo (including my own, at times). I believe too much in people, and yet I hope that never changes. I'd like to think I'm more of a realist, but if I'm too optimistic at times, I'll take that over pessimism any day.
