Elijah Gebre

I am a man who was wrongfully convicted, but I will not and have not let bitterness & anger consume me.  I am preparing myself to return to society better than I entered the judicial system.

I am/was adopted, and my family is the most important thing to me on the family.  Since I’m starting over in many aspects; I am looking to extend my family and find love, a best friend, wife, and work together like apples & cinnamon.  I love Latin tradition & culture.  I’ve been working to expand my Spanish communication since high school.  My godchildren are Latin x so I often participate & help them embrace their culture.  I have no children biologically but I am a cat dad of an all white English shorthair, he’s 5.  I love cooking, driving, video games, anime, traveling, music, technology, & science. I studied music composition & applied behavioral analysis in undergrad & grad school, respectfully.  I play upright bass & piano & I love to go to symphonies & concerts.  My favorite genres of music is hard rock/metal, EDM(techno/trance), jazz, older rap & hip hop, pop (k-pop & j-pop) & reggaeton & bachata & gospel.

My love languages are quality time, physical affection, giving & acts of service.  I never shy away from a challenge & I don’t mind sacrificing wants for needs.  I do like nice things, but I wouldn’t say I’m materialistic.  I love to help others & hate to see injustice & suffering.  I’m an ambivert more on the introvert side but I can be around friends and family with no issue.  I’m not big into parties, but I don’t mind hosting parties & holidays.

I do love Christmas, Thanksgiving & Halloween.  I have a gothesque style.  I have piercings and tattoos, no face tattoos.  I love Batman, Joker & Harley Quinn.  I like zombies & horror movies & games.  I love Five Nights at Freddy’s.

Most of my family lives in the Chicagoland area, and that may be where I end up upon release.  I am currently on appeal meaning when it is appealed, I’d be released around December 2025.

I make all homemade cards for birthdays & holidays, I do respond to letters immediately, & I do have funds for phone calls.  My FB is old but it’s there.  Looking forward to meeting you!
