53 & seeking connections and support to start a new chapter.

Hi, I’m Jason, though most know me as 'Bones'—a nickname I’ve carried since grade school. My journey hasn't been easy; after being adopted and later left to navigate the world on my own at 17, I’ve faced a long road of poverty and a recent eight-year prison sentence.

Coming home, I’ve found a world that has changed in many ways, yet some things remain the same—specifically the lack of a real support system or true friends. Even my faith, which has always been my compass, feels like it’s hanging by a thread right now.

To keep grounded, I lean into my passions: I'm an artist, a fan of car shows, and an avid mountain biker. I’m looking for genuine connection and someone to talk to as I start this next chapter.

Thanks for the encouragement, & unfortunately I have ten years of Federal probation, So don't get me started on 'Scam' our courts in America are so corrupt it's not even funny.
I went on a job interview yesterday, & was transparent and the interview went good, but will probably be denied the job after the run my background check today. One of the reasons I hate corporate (HOME DEPOT) jobs, the hiring manager might like you & wanna hire you, even with a criminal background, but it's not up to them, it's up to someone who only looks at a piece of paper & judges you by it. I to see that the only way to get ahead with a criminal history is to start my own job, especially at 53, the only thing I lack is money. 🙂
