: About Me

My name is Tasheem R. Stenson and I am 19 years old. In August of 2009, I graduated from Excelsior Preparatory High School in Queens, New York. I have 5 brothers and 3 sisters, all of whom I love very much. Oh I also have 4 mothers and 2 fathers. I had an Extremely weird childhood. I got a passion for food/cooking from my grandmother and I don't really know how she did it but she did. I never took much of an interest in anything but games and food until I met Christina B. That woman has changed my life upside down, and round and round. Nobody can even begin to imagine how much she has done for me and changed me. For that, I thank her and love her very much. Everyone I know can say that I am a very nice, patient, sensitive, friendly, smart and handsome guy. I found out about Helium through Christina B. and if she wouldn't have invited me and talked about it so much, I would probably be at home doing something much less productive.

Finding true love is about the hardest thing anyone can do. I am only eighteen years old and, during my time on this planet, I have always thought that being in love was such a terrible, annoying, painful feeling. Now that I think about it, I was right about it being painful and annoying but love is anything but terrible. It is an incredibly joyful feeling. I never thought love was for me, or that i would ever be in love. I was wrong about that. I have seen how love turns people around, how it changes people, most of the time for the best. It scared me to think that one feeling, one person...
