Galesburg Pen Pals - New Friends in United States

Hello I am a 62yr. Old female, retired, and just looking to expand my knowledge by getting to others from different cultures and countries. I live on my own with my 3 little dogs, 2 Sugar gliders and 1 Hedgehog. I spend my free time creating all kinds of crafts that I sell at local flea / farmer's markets.
3yrs. Ago my oldest son committed suicide and my youngest son is a firefighter and I worry about loosing him. As it stands 3 of my oldest son's children (the yougest ones) I'm not allowed to see and that hurts, but I'm not giving up.
Not sure what else you might want know ..just ask.

Im from Kansas and don't know anyone here. Don't know much about this state and with some penpals I will learn more. Im easy to get along with and very down to earth.

Hello my name is leanne looking for innatea to write

Im a down to earth guy that ran into some bad luck. I am looking for good conversations and interesting people.

I am Interested in women, I am looking for bright, intelligent, intriguing, well spoken, and someone willing to open up, someone who will not burn boiling water. :-). And I am looking for a friend, and let the future figure itself out.

I'm 31 and have been incarcerated the last 14 years.

5 things to know about me

Strongest man in the world.
Smartest man in the world.
Most handsome man in the world.
I'm modest.  (Just playing)
Yes, I have a sense of humor.

My greatest attribute is that I'm empathetic towards others.

It's not about where you been, but where you're going.

My biggest fear is to be a stranger to the one's I love the most (my family) when I'm released.

Despite my current state I am an eternal optimist.

What I look to gain from this service is for you to help me see the world thru your words.

A Defining 141 words

I stare at my writing tablet trying to create something polarizing, something to show that I'm creative, honorable and intelligent. Something to be so appealing that you feel that you must look deeper, as you look upon my visual echo that I try to compact into the 99 words I have left.

I wish you can hear the eloquence, yet mixed with the sudden hint of grit within my tone of voice, that's reflective of the journey that led me here, symbolically sending a message in a bottle in hope that someone within this world will know I exist. So I stand on the shores of anticipation awaiting for a response, not with the patience of a toddler, but anxious nevertheless. I want you to help me see the world thru your words; in turn I will give you a glimpse within mine.

Bluntly speaking………Trials and tribulation comes with living. I think for everyone that breathes the breath of Allah will go through something that they’ll consider to be unwanted! But……the outcome of the situation revolves around the way you handle it. And for me, I did almost everything incorrectly which is the reason why I’m spending a portion of my life in jail. My incarceration has to do with who I am as being a man. It has nothing to do with my desire to grow, accomplish, nor expand. I’ve openly dedicated myself to becoming a better person. Not only for myself, but for my family and friends as well. I’ve received my G.E.D and now working a my college degree. And right now, I am studying Al-Islam (Muslim). I have high hopes of achieving a degree in something social. I’m very open, honest, and sincere. “Real” simply defines me. And “Real” is what I’m looking for. Rather it’s a “Real” friendship or a “Real” relationship. I have a beautiful family that supports all wishes……but outside of that, I have no one which is the main reason why I’m reaching out to you, the world. If you’re honestly open to chance what it is I offer, please write me and give both of us the opportunity to encounter with one another. I’ve taken a step towards you. Now it’s your turn to take two towards me. Bye beautiful world, God bless you!
