I am finally back home, and wanted to admit something to this board.
Somebody said something ugly to me a few weeks ago, and in my defense, I felt like I claimed to be somebody I’m not describing my past.. I don’t know why it’s grating on me. It just is. Honesty’s just the best policy so I wanted to write something.
I’ve always been sort of big fella I guess. I was bigger and taller and stouter than the other kids growing up. I’ll admit as a teenager and a young man I’d fell in with the wrong crowd and just became someone I am not very proud of. I was a mean, angry young man. Yes, evil thoughts and actions, bad language, drugs and alcohol. One night, in a fit of argument and fit of rage I hurt someone beyond what anyone should do. It’s a wonder the guy survived. Under the eyes of the law I was defending myself, but my size and strength was no match for this person. He was like a stick. What I done could’ve been even worse if he was a smaller man. I don’t know.
Afterward, I fell to pieces for what I’d done and I don’t know why. I had whipped many a boy growing up, but this time it was different. I was ashamed and somehow my heart was opened. I’ve made amends to all that I hurt in the past, some are now good friends. I love them and it hurts me to think if they are hurt.
I found the right path, I got my heart right and now I’ve got nothing but love in my heart for all Gods children. I truly love the folks that I work with and who are doing such wonderful things for scared, confused kids like me who need guidance, love and support.
