Journal Entry

ANSWER: So many times before my incarceration I was living my life to try to please others and be successful according to their standards. It was so stressful and led to one of my triggers in my addiction. It took me coming to prison and being by myself to heal, renew my faith, and be somewhat free to make my own decisions without having to worry about someone else’s views and if I was going to make them happy or fail them. Prison has made me realize that I can stand on my own two feet and be successful and restored my confidence in trusting my own decisions. I am happier today for it as crazy as that may sound. Yes, even though I am still incarcerated! Thank you as always for reading and I hope it helps too.
