Dan the man

This is a good one, early on in my life I harbored an astronomical amount of anger and anxiety and frustration. I felt ill prepared to deal with all that life throws at you. It began very early for me, 11-12 years old, puberty was knocking, but I wasn’t ready to let go of my childhood. I was extremely shy even though I had female friends that I played with and I think the were struggling as well but better equipped to handle it. My parents just let the streets educate us on sex and hormones and change. I was maybe 18 or 19 when I started martial arts and even then I was into the physical aspect of it more so than the spiritual end, I didn’t get into that until my mid 30’s with little results, but by then society and my own emotions had shaped my mindset, now at 64 years old I would say the last 20 years have been very enlightened for me. I am in full control of my mind, body spirit. I am the very best person I can be for however long I have left.
