A bit of a slump today. It just is what it is. Can’t be happy all the time just like it can’t rain all the time. I’ve learned through many years of ups and downs. This is just how I am made. Although I am managing my mental health quite well there are times when […]

I have been reading, Michael Santos book “Conquering a 45-year sentence” and it has really got me thinking about all the things we go through in this rough system of prisons. It is helping to mold my mindset a little deeper. I just hate how these places shuffle us around like we are not humans. […]
