I am a 25 year old Leamington resident, originally from Peterborough....and have travelled around a little, living here and there. I am very much alone in the world, save a precious few that I keep close to me, I would never have gotten far without my Mom and Dad. My friends are few and far between, but those few are certainly worth more than just having a bunch of people that I "call friends." There is a wonderful man in my life that has helped me through many of my troubles in the short time we have known one another and has a great deal of patience and love when it comes to our relationship.
I enjoy reading, preferably fantasy novels and self-help manuals, I dabble in cross-stitch, woodwork, painting and writing. I have an extensive collection of poetry dating back six years when I was avidly writing. I enjoy creating gift baskets for all occasions and have aspirations of someday making a small side business out of it as I find it to be a stimulating creative outlet. When I am not working on any of my hobbies, I find solace cuddling with my kittens, listening to classical music or simply closing my eyes and enjoying the sweet song of my Canary, Pickles. I am an avid songwriter and at one time was a half-decent musician, however I have no outlet to make my music with at the moment so it is all welling up inside of me. Once I have a piano, I will probably spend all day, everyday, with it.
I enjoy martial arts and have trained in Daito Ryu, Yoshinkan Aikido, Iaido, Kenjutsu and currently am studying Ninjutsu along with keeping my sword skills well honed.
I suffer from severe depression and a panic disorder, which has changed my life and caused me years of torment and pain. Every single day is a battle for me, however I am fighting back with everything I have to overcome this and be able to live a normal life once again. I am in the care of an excellent doctor and have many resources at my disposal to assist me through this battle, so with positive thinking, prayers and heeding the advice of my doctor, in time I shall win. I have posted some links for anyone wishing to seek more information about depression, you will find them by visiting my Depression and Mental Health Awareness page.
