Today has been a great day so far my good friend, who is more of a brother created a YouTube channel for me (kurteiz thompson) and drafted a video with his exquisite graphic designing skills to promote my new endeavor of gang and violence prevention/ intervention. I spoke to him as well as my cousin who told me of the images and quality of the video and everyone is so pleased, it even features my voice as he recorded it over the prison phone a while ago narrating the graphics shown. This new channel with detail my struggles and strides in righting my wrongs and giving back to the community using my influential voice and platform! I’m very elated to have such great people in my corner who sacrifices their time and efforts into helping me promote my positive calling. I know i can make a huge impact on the world being a shining example of change for myself and inspire others to do the same. I’m super excited to know that even behind bars sitting in a federal prison i still can evoke thought and change from here,because its not about falling but about getting up and a failure is only a failure if you don’t learn from said lesson, I intend to learn from my shortcomings bottle it up and show others that they don’t have to drink from the same cup of destruction, i wanna use transparency to illustrate even someone in my shoes who grew up in my negative environment and made bad choices can take different steps in life. Doing things to lay the foundation for what’s to come upon my release has become my hobby, these days each and everyway i can think of to better myself and those in my community I’m fully dedicated. Other than that i spoke to my son KJ, He continues to be the highlight of my days and give me that love that’s so needed in this despair situation. My son as always upon hanging up said “I LOVE YOU MORE”,after i told him I love you. But i know i love him more with age comes wisdom and I’m 30 years his senior,a lot of the changes i done in my life are for me but always have him in mind as to how it will effect him. I cant wait to have my freedom and continue to love and rear him but this time with a new mission one that’s not at all filled with selfish outlooks or negative gains that can take me away from him and my family.
