A promise to you, and a little about myself.

Hi,

My name is W.G Lason. 

I want to do my best for you. A lot of media today is vapid, nonsensical and highly lucrative. Starting this small business is no easy task. I ask myself constantly if it is worth the arduous effort to try and put myself out there if I barely make a cent in return. With that frame in mind, I have already failed. I started this business because I felt a lot of people, especially young men, are like me. Lost in society and all of its ever shifting intoxicating color, with no frame in mind and no solid figures to look up to. I often look at the highly lucrative people in my field and struggle to not copy them, hoping that if I were to give in, I might get rich and ride the wave of influence and money.

But at the end of the day, money and fame are fleeting. I hope, through my honesty, you can learn where I have failed, and you can find hope that there are other people like you, who want to be the best version of themselves. I have, in truth, one goal in mind. To help someone who has struggled in life as I have struggled. No amount of media, money or internet fame will tell you what you are worth. Society will tell you to pursue hedonism and ego-centrism until you are blue in the face and all alone, and I am here to tell you that you are not alone and there are plenty of men and women who feel just as lost as you do.

My goal with this endeavor is to do my best for you. I might not know you personally, but I love you deeply and I care about where your life, and my God will carry you. Before I continue I want to tell you a little about me.

I love the outdoors, I love to camp in the woods underneath a starry sky and enjoy the world when it is at peace. I love cigars, whiskey and the presence of a small and select company. I love poetry and philosophy, I grew up nominally Christian but never believing. It took me a long time to find faith and God, but I have been changed ever since. I received my degree in Psychology, a minor in Biology and a minor in Criminology when I was nineteen and still a kid. I am an officer candidate for the United States Marine Corps and hope to earn my commission and prove that I have the fortitude necessary to serve as an infantry officer. I'm currently working to become a paramedic and then save lives as a combat medic for the FBI. My favorite verses in the bible are Psalms 144:1 "Blessed be the name of the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle." and 1st Corinthians 13:1 "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." If I never reach those goals, then so be it. As long as I have shown that God is good, and you are not alone, then I can die complete.

I wrote "Love Between Darkness" because I lived a long duality between answering the call God gave to me, and serving myself. In truth, I still struggle to continue each day in that endeavor. But all the more, I push forward because I hope, that even one person, hopefully you, will see my struggle and see more of God, and less of me.

This is my promise to you. I will do my best to be real and honest. I hope through my poetry and my writing you can see that you are not alone. That God is real and he loves you. And though we have never met, I love you, and I care for you deeply.
