About this person
Very open understanding, love to talk and share what life has to offer. 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.

What they're looking for in a pen-pal, topics to talk about, icebreakers

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.

About this person
Hello everyone! I'm so excited to be here and look forward to meeting you! I come from a rough background but am still writing my story and working on my best chapter. I'm very spiritual but not super religious, and believe myself to be pragmatic. I'm confident, trustworthy, loyal and honest to a fault. I'm pretty old school so I believe a man should pull his own weight, provide and protect, and be accountable for his actions. I'm also game to learn new things because you can't grow standing still. I consider myself a pretty "evolved" man, I'm acutely aware of the damaging and lasting effects of toxic masculinity because I've been a prime example of it most of my life. I now teach classes on the subject and work to rid myself of male stupidity (Lol).  
  I'm multi- talented: I'm a musician (keyboard/piano), vocalist, artist and poet. I'm also a cook and plan to run a food truck after release, and eventually open a brick and mortar. I'm socially conscious and am on my way to becoming a feminist the more I study women's and Trans issues. Hit me back and let's talk.

What they're looking for in a pen-pal, topics to talk about, icebreakers
I'm looking for someone who's spiritual and pragmatic. Someone who's supportive, loyal, honest and wants more out of life. A person who's business minded and has an entrepreneurial spirit as I do. I seek someone who likes to kick it about issues from history to music to your favorite cartoons from back in the day. Open with your life's goals, your fears and hopes, and who believes in redemptio
