Today will be my last birthday here in the FBOP..
It’s crazy that when the outside world forgets that the people around you in prison can make you feel so whole. Nobody .. not a single person from the outside told me happy birthday.. only one even answered.
The women here made it so special. My bunk was so beautiful.. the food was great.. the snacks the unit provided to complete the bed… it truly makes a difference.
The last two birthdays the women I was with made it so special too. These are the years I’ll never forget… people who didnt have to give a damn that did.
Love during lock up is on tonight.. when I see what some of those people do for the people locked up I just get bummed. A happy birthday from anyone on the outside would of been nice. An answered phone call.
Life goes on.. these walls make you as tough as them.
