I don’t belong here, I can’t stand being cramped up in my little room, in my little trailer. I’m ready to fly away and not come back.

I tell Jessica, my girlfriend that she’s my heaven on Earth, and she is! She has been there for me for almost 2 years now, she is my best friend and I love her so much. She knows I love her but I want to show her my greatest love for her. I want to be there for her, I want to make her laugh, I want her to be safe, I cherish every short second that I’m granted with her. So in conclusion I want to be a better man, I want to give her the love she needs and deserves.

I was born deaf but I wear 2 hearing aids which makes me hard of hearing, and had struggled with a lot of things in my life. Such as not been able to understand the movies at the theater because of no closed captioning, not being able to talk on the phone like normal people do…and so on. I’d like to make a sobering film to portray the life of a deaf individual. I need to write a script for it!
