Sometimes we need a reset. I am at that point in my journey. We are the authors of our own stories and I choose to be resilient and help others while impacting their lives in a positive way on purpose. I have my ups and downs but I will remain focused on the task of creating success for myself. I have taken every opportunity to affect those around me through engaging them with writing essays about Prison Life so that the staff can identify with me through words on the page. A lot of times verbal communication is taken the wrong way so when I write it is more effective. Words evoke emotion in people in a way on paper that the mouth can’t reciprocate. It is an interesting task that I am excited to see if it bears fruit.
