This part compels the rest. The space between light and dark where everything is useful. Even the mess. The afflictions never seen by others but felt personally are what shape us. I could never settle for less even in these circumstances.
I’m 6’3″, about 215, with a whole lot more than what meets the eye. No children to speak of. I’m 30 years old, going on 40, with about 6-7 years left on an 18-year sentence. Hopefully I’ll be home in the next 2-3 years if motions are granted. God willing.
With more life, there’s a whole lot to be done to be able to sleep with success. I have learned so much up to this point with the push of progression. I know that I’m blessed; if you’re reading this, you are too while you’re thinking of me and yourself. I put my heart into everything when I know it’s the truth. I respect myself too much to lie and receive too much respect to have to lie to others. Elders are respected. But love, I’ve never felt it shared with anyone outside a family member.
Doing this life thing alone is difficult but not impossible. See a life workout, love God—that’s just insane—but a love without life, well, that just happens every day. We are who we say we are with confidence. This way of walking is bitter and sweet, bitter in its teachings but sweet for all the things gathered when taught. How to control your peace and practice your love. Peace, love, and blessings to my illustrator.
