I would like to take my perspective of me from not only my own view, but from the others who know the real Stephen Ferrett, those being, the most special people in my life:

My desire to find happiness in myself firstly, to live a humble and respectful life and by the mantras I have set myself and read daily. To have continued empathy for others who may be suffering and to use my words and my experiences to give those souls hope.
I would like to think that I put others first, but try and occasionally look out for myself, particularly my own mental health and well-being, as I suffer from PTSD.

My children define me as a Father and role model, I think they view me as old fashioned and techno-illiterate, but a fun guy to be around that loves them with my every fiber.

My partner (My beautiful Jen) defines me and the values I hold. The utmost importance I put on openness, honesty, and love. Knowing the feeling of being soulmates, friends, and lovers.
She might even compliment me on my cooking skills, but also shake her head with my dislike of sometimes having to begrudgingly engage in small talk with strangers, something I’m working on!!

Be safe, loved, and keep writing,
Steve!!!
