Trying again here…

[jturk]

Hey everyone how's it going? I have posted another thread in this forum before but I was in a very different place in my life and I believe things have changed enough that it would be worth taking the time to post something new here.

I'm 30 years old, male and straight and I've been living with a diagnosis of Duchenne's muscular dystrophy since I was about six years old. Now I have pretty limited use of my arms, zero use of my legs and I do also deal with some respiratory problems which are well-managed. I'm college educated, I would say highly intelligent, but you could be the judge of that lol… I have a great deal of life experience and my friends would say I have a lot of wisdom to share.

I'm still figuring out my precise path in life, but I do know one thing, wherever i am, whatever I'm doing I feel happy… I've been living with my folks for a few years now, but I'm finally at the point where I'm in the process of moving back out with a roommate. In the next few months my life will be changing pretty substantially. I've been living on disability for a number of years, and I'm finally going to get back to work once I get settled in my new location.

I live in Western Connecticut currently and I'll be living on the other side of the state soon after.

I'm not really looking for anything in particular, just to meet people with different life experiences, to see who I get along with, where there might be common ground. I have no expectations so if you're looking for new perspectives, feel free to send me a message. I really would like to meet more people and I think this would be a great place to possibly do that…

I look forward to seeing what comes about :-)

Welcome back. jturk!

I think you hit the nail on the head with your interest in just getting to know different people and appreciating one for their individual interests and perspectives about life in general. Most of us here would probably fit that mold I think. Hope you hang around this time and accomplish your goals. Feel free to PM me anytime should you so desire

I've been back for a while, just not in this forum… but thanks :-)

I didn't say I was going to find my path just that I'm trying lol

Thank you for the kind wishes, I know things will work out for me because they always do. I do try to put a lot of consideration into my posts, that's why I don't post very often because I feel like I need to give each post the time and effort it deserves. I'm definitely planning on sticking around
