I still run the track and exercise. As long as I have feet that move, I will run. I come from a family of brothers and a baby sister. I’m #4. I grew up in a gang, and it landed me in prison for three life sentences at one time. I never thought I would look very dim at times; I’m in the process of transformation of the mind and the brain. What a beautiful machine!
I choose to watch, hear, and participate with like-minded people, pushing forward positively and pro-social; I’m enjoying myself. Thank you for this opportunity to express myself. My inner thoughts come out at work, and I surprise myself sometimes!
I love life, people and the world. I want to participate in everything the world has for us, sharing a moment with someone or laughing out loud at myself.
Thank you, Humans of San Quentin. It is a beautiful outlet for us. In the past, all the days felt like GroundHog Day. I felt like I was ready to implode like the twin towers; I wished for human combustion, a beautiful mind is a terrible thing to lose if there is no outlet; life is a precious thing I wanted to thrive and grow creatively.
All my life, even today, I have seen the beauty of our colorful, wonderful world and we’re all part of it. I see the good, bad, and ugly; I see the wondrous; I’m like a little kid in the candy store; I miss swimming, the sounds of the ocean, feeling the sensation of the waves, tasting the water.
I love life, people and the world. I want to participate in everything the world has for us, sharing a moment with someone or laughing out loud at myself. A smile is an easy thing to put on my face. To me, that is what life is all about! Thank you for this opportunity to express myself.
