This happened back in 2019, but i was actually too embarrassed to share. As some of you may already know, I spent my teenage years doing the opposite of what normal kids did. I never got to play sports, be active and have regular fun life experiences. Even once I turned my life around I was just learning how to love others and myself. I was busy learning how to be good father, husband and a post secondary student. This athletic hunger just didn’t fit in my life. Now as an adult I’m venturing out into things I never got to do.I’ve never been involved in anything that u could win trophies, medals or even bragging rights. I never got to...
I hope to be the example that people can now look up to instead of someone people used to fear. To be known as someone you can trust instead making you want to change the locks on your doors. To be known as someone you can trust to hold your fucking purse instead of clenching it in fear that I’m gonna steal it. If I would have died 20 years ago I would have left a really bad legacy behind my name. Now, I can honestly say I have done way more good than bad and I hope my legacy has changed. I will keep striving to be the HERO of my own story. The further I draw that line...
You see, I never planned on living this long, but I made a choice to do so, to not repeat what happened to me to my kids. Was I really going to be that guy that says ‘fuck it I’m gonna keep doing me’. Fuck no. Was it easy? Fuck no. Think about it.. I’m running the streets for 10 years from 13 – 23, so when kids are playing sports and learning all this shit in school, creating these long lasting friendships and building on skills; I’m runnin the streets robing, stealing and learning how to dodge the cops and trying to keep up with 100 lies. The things I could have accomplished in that 10 years!! I didn’t...
Fuck barriers, and comfort zone bullshit. Just remove them entirely because its just another limitation you give yourself as an excuse as to why you CAN’T do something. If its positive you have to go for it, end of story. Since I was 13 years old I have had a criminal record. 10 years later I turned my life around, but due to my past I felt so labeled that I put constant limitations on myself and always felt I needed a pardon before my life could start. This is one of the many barriers I put on myself. I feared I would always be seen as a criminal, a lost cause, a delinquent that can’t be trusted. I Tried...
I've had many people ask me how I changed and how I got out of that lifestyle to become the man I am today. Let me tell you it didn’t happen overnight. Im still fighting the labels of a criminal and its been 15 years since my last court case.
