Journal Entry: Dustin Strange-10/17/2024

Journal Entry

Today has been positive so far. There was no transport today because Monday was a holiday. So tomorrow I hope I am writing from Boise I’ve got to be coming up sooner than later I would think. Either way time is moving along. I’m exactly 4 years away from Parole today. I think I’ve made a significant improvement in my overall well being in the past year. I’ve gotten rid of a lot let’s say excess baggage I’ve been carrying around through meditation and cutting ties with people whom negatively impacted my life (because they are always awaiting ready to drag me back down) I’ve focused on building a lasting relationship in my marriage and despite a few setbacks we seem to be doing well. I’ve grown in positive ways through education and with daily exercise, yoga, and meditation I feel stable, strong, and focused. I am aware of my place in this world and am feeling super positive about the steps taken to build a life for myself and my wife free from the chains of addiction, incarceration, and criminal activity. Despite being stuck inside this box, away from family awaiting time to pass I have found a sense of peace and determination to move beyond these struggles. One day at a time I move forward and grow stronger.
