Journal Entry

Learning who I am was a journey. I had hidden my true self for so many years that I was actually lost. I know now what my self worth is and how I can be a better person. I know that I was living a lie when I was in the criminal lifestyle because I knew it was not what I wanted. Yet I had fed so much into all the lies of all the people around me that I actually believed that my life was only worth being in prison. I have learned this is not true and that I am worth so much more. I’m grateful for my family that showed me these things. For being able to accept my errors and fix them. To really take a hard look at who I really am and accept the person I see in the mirror.
