The Man I Would Like to Be

CHEESY ALERT! This is your warning that you’re about to read something CHEESY. You’ve been warned. Most of the following is a transcript from something I recently wrote in my journal.

(Original: Portrait of a Young Man with a Book by Agnolo Bronzino.)

Today’s been a good day so far. So, might as well draft out the elements I’m missing in my life that would help me become the man I’d like to be.
