17 years ago, I didn’t have hope, I was lost, I used to believe that I would die here in prison, that my life was over, but you know what, change is possible. I learned that I will never be able to change my life until I am willing to change the way I think, and since I have been here in this prison I have been working on myself, in my recovery, to become a better person. I know that I am not perfect, but today I can say I am a better version of myself.
I have four kids, three boys and a girl, and it’s sad because I don’t know them. It hurts, you know, but at the same time they gave me the strength to be a better person, and maybe one day I get out and be able to meet them. My kids are one of the reasons I stay out of trouble. I still have hope to be part of their life.
All these 17 years I have been alone and it would be nice to hear from someone. Take care and God bless you.
