I felt the world was a better place when I was not in it. I felt this way for many decades, because I always doubted myself. I felt I was failure to my family, I felt I was a failure to God, and I felt like I was a failure to myself. I just felt like a failure.
Then one morning something hit me, and I knew I was not a failure or a disappointment. I knew the world would be better if I was in it. I also knew that my life was not in shambles any longer. I knew I had a higher purpose and that my life was going to change. I knew I had started to become the man, person, and individual that I was supposed to become. I also knew that I can and would start rebuilding. My life would become bright, bold, and meaningful.
I have finally become a man who is honest, caring, and friendly. I can now way that I am proud of the man I have become and that my life is full of purpose and that I have a bright future outside these walls and fences I have been struck behind for decades. | RM
