Benjamin is 37 and incarcerated in the US (IL).
As I sit here trying to think of what to say about myself that would pique the interest of the types of people I would prefer to correspond with, words seem to fail me. Blunt honesty seems the best option to avoid wasting time. I’ve been told I’m a good person that makes bad choices, but I never have felt that way. In my opinion, I am loyal to a fault, and choose all the wrong people to be loyal to.
In my free time, of which I have an excess, I spend most days doing some form of artwork, and aspire to be a tattoo artist upon my release. I also do some writing on occasion, mainly novels but unpublished. I think of myself as a creative type, and am just trying to become the best version of myself I can for my daughter. Every decision is weighed against how it may affect her at this point. The days of the fast life are long in the rear-view.
As for the people I would prefer to write, female, mainly because I am surrounded by men and sick of them. I am not looking for love, but would be open to it. E-mails and mail at this facility take 3-7 days on average, so please be patient if you choose to contact me.
I would prefer to have deep meaningful conversations with a little intellect. I am very business-minded, and like talking about ways to make money legally. In the past, I was a welder, an auto-body tech, and at one time owned my own car detail shop. Now my artwork supports me, and leaves me some extra on the bone to send my daughter. I’m also trying to build a stock portfolio when I have some extra, just so I am not broke when I get out.
I like the outdoors and grew up hunting and fishing. If any of these things interest you as well, please feel free to get in touch.
I appreciate your consideration. Have a wonderful and blessed day.
