I have seen the impossible happen and faced death so many times, one of them being on purpose once upon a time, and God still has me here for a reason.

A moment I cannot forget is when I realized what I was diagnosed with since birth, aplastic anemia. It is a bone marrow failure that makes my blood count go up and down like a rollercoaster. It is mighty rare and something I will never forget because I have to live with it for the rest of my life.

Love is an emotion, not an action. I would prefer loyalty over love any day. Anybody can love you and still stab you in the back but loyalty means there would never be betrayal. Thinking that they love you quick to getcha a headstone they switch up and change when you pick up a bed roll I was by my lonely held hostage on a level three all they had to do was press five the can was free cut a lot of niggaz off showin fake loyalty could never trust a bitch they be slick hella oily I got trust issues niggaz really ainโ€™t royalty I am not with all the extras but ainโ€™t never no hoe in me. Like it says above in the corner of my eye I am resilient. No matter the circumstances or minor setbacks I always bounce back. My momma and granny taught me how to hustle through their hard times and tribulations. I get it, literally. I have seen the impossible happen and faced death so many times, one of them being on purpose once upon a time, and God still has me here for a reason. Like my momma says we gone keep fighting until there ainโ€™t no more fight.

February 23, 2025, changed my life. It was the start of my second prison term. I was just released in September 2024 and got booked again six months later on a petty theft. I hate to say it but I am glad God sat me down before I dug myself into a deeper hole. Time is time and it is the only thing nobody can get back. This term opened my eyes to see who is really family and here for me or not. I do not do friends. We are either locked in family or associates. I have been stabbed in the back so much you might as well use my back as a knife holder. I am at the point in life where I gotta be selfish because every time I let someone in they take advantage of my kindness for weakness.ย
