[ FF ] Can you tell your life story in just 200 words ?

I remember hunting for crawfish and searching for duck eggs along the riverbeds near my grandparent's house. They're dry now. Little more than rocks and overgrown brush. 
 
 Things do n't last. But memories do. 
 
 Always being different, moving far too often to lay roots anywhere. Learning to be unattached to'things', because it's easier to never be attached, than it is to get attached and lose them. No lasting friends to speak of, but learning how to make them quickly. It's better than being alone. 
 
 I grew up a nomad, and I wanted a place I could call home. I chose this city and decided it would be my home. I worked hard, I was lucky. I've lived making no compromises, and have no regrets. I have things now. 
 
 A girlfriend I love. 
 Employees that are like a second family. 
 A business that I poured my life into. One that allows me to provide for others in my life. 
 
 I do n't drive a fancy car. I do n't own a big house. But the restaurant lets me help people in need. I can make a difference. 
 
 I am happy. I have things I do n't want to lose. This is new to me.
