Would love to have someone to write to, I have been incarcerated a really long time. Will answer all questions, I'm very honest. I am highly motivated to become a better and greater human being. My recovery comes first along with my higher power. My hobbies are music, role playing games (RPG), and sports. I am a very social person and easy to talk with. Although I am a serious man, I am known for my humor.<br /><strong><br /><span><span>What they're looking for in a pen-pal, topics to talk about, icebreakers</span></span></strong><br />My interests are meeting real people that aren't ashamed what people say about them. I'm looking for a pen pal that is comfortable in their own skin and have a good heart. Someone who loves to laugh and can hold a intellectual serious conversation. As well as someone who has a purpose and sense of direction. I am looking for a person who is looking to always better themselves.<br /><br /><span><span>Bio last updated:&nbsp;</span></span>1/31/2024<br /><span><span>Joined date:&nbsp;</span></span>1/31/2024<br /></span></span><br /></div>  <div class="paragraph"><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"><strong>Demographics</strong><br /><em>To help you find someone like you</em>&mdash; <em>or very different!</em>&mdash;<em> we ask for members' own words to describe themselves.
