Life incarcerated has been an experience of itself. I have learned so much about life and myself through this journey. I have learned that you have to be mentally strong in prison to survive this journey. Because prison has a way of breaking you down if you’re not.
You meet every kind of character in prison too. The tough guy, the narcissist, the bullies, the pieces of shit, etc…You have to know how to deal with each one, otherwise you can find yourself in trouble. Through reading about the psychology of man, I have learned to identify those type of behaviors and men. I learned to love and appreciate art, through drawing. It is at those times where I feel the most at peace and in the zone making my time pass by faster.
Learning about the universe, about the creator, about the spiritual side of existence. Learning to control my emotions better by meditation and being aware, in the moment instead of being angry and serious all of the time. To give more than to receive, to accept and understand, to be kinder but assertive at the same time. To look at life’s problems differently and from a different lens.
I can’t wait to be released from prison, and to live life again. I have learned from my mistakes along the way even though I still make them, I look at them differently. Now I have a plan and a bucket list of things that I would like to accomplish before my life is over, like: sky diving, paintball shooting, traveling to different countries around the world, businesses and the list goes on. I f I can have a companion along the way that would be better. To share and joyously experience life together. Life is beautiful, but life can also be hard at times. But I believe that’s what gives life meaning, its problems and figuring them out. “Defeat is a state of mind, no one is truly defeated until defeat has been accepted as reality”.
