The quick version:
Born in the South, raised in the South, with enough trips to other states and countries to know that I'm alright here.
At least til I can get settled at the beach.

I've been to church and I've been to jail.
I've cried, I've laughed, I've been pissed off for absolutely no reason at all. I've been a brick wall, and I've been a blubbering idiot.
I've felt shame when I shouldn't and no shame when I should have, and hopefully, through it all, every step of the way, I've hurt no one severely and learned, at least a little, all the time.

The quicker version:
Here. Now.
