About Me

"If I have told you earthly things and yet you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" (John 2:12).

You came here because you want to know who I am, where do I stand, what do I thing. What makes me tick - what moves me. To truly appreciate a person we first must understand the basic concept that each and every single little experience in life, whether firsthand or secondhand, plays a certain part in our development. So, to truly understand a person - to truly say that we know a person, we must first understand the experiences that have played a part in creating the person they have come to become. Contrary to popular misconceptions, this cannot be done in a mere short essay nor in just a few paragraphs. To truly understand a person, to truly grasp their concept of reality, we must be willing to invest the necessary time needed to delve into their psych.

What moves me, what makes me who I am, what makes me tick, who am I, where do I stand? All viable questions but the real question is - Do you really want to know? And, if your answer is yes, just how much time are you willing to invest to really know me? Because the fact of the matter is that I can only give you a little taste of who I really am within this page. The real me - the bulk of me - lays within the process of taking the time to really know me.

I am Elena Rios. I am 27 years old as of the writing of this short biography (November 1, 2003). I am a single mother of two children, a boy and a girl, 3 and 8 respectively. I was born in Chicago, Illinois to Puerto Rican parents who have been divorced for over 23 years. I do have 2 full-blooded brothers, one younger and one older, an 3 half-sisters and 1 half-brother that I know about. Most of the family I know does live in Chicago but I was raised in South Florida. I am currently single. I have never been married. I have been engaged twice. I do have a very small circle of very close friends. I do have many interests and aspirations. I am a bit traditionally biblical in my beliefs and I am seeking spiritual enlightenment.

These are the simple facts. But, to say that in here I can explain to you intimately who I really am would be nothing short of a flat out lie. For, in this little space and given your limited time here, there is nothing I can write that would truly grasp the concept of me. To truly know me requires time most would not be willing to spend.
