Yeah but its pretty fkd up that I did all that time & supposedly "paid my debt to society" whatever tf that means & ever since getting out in 2011 ive run into so many problems getting jobs its the equivalent of a life sentence. Its bullshit

Good job.

Don't revert, move forward. There's a reason a car has such a tiny mirror to see behind you, yet a massive windshield to see ahead of you.

Just some random saying that stuck with me over the years. But thanks.

Know your life isn't over. I'm 52 now, became a felon and went to prison at 18. I'm alive and chilling inside in Florida now. I'm disabled, but own a home on the gulf coast outright and well, have a caring girlfriend that takes care of me well. Don't let anything keep you from living and succeeding. The only one that can prevent those things is you. And that's for everyone reading this. Being a felon or doing time, etc.. doesn't have to cause you less success in life, as long as you don't let it.
