Today I Start Again

Time in prison is different from time out in the world. Ten years feels like an eternity, a lifetime spent grappling with regrets, consequences, and the elusive hope of redemption. Confined physically and mentally by razor wire and the weight of my own actions.

As I step back into the world, I carry the heavy burden of my past. The consequences of my actions. Yet, I hope I am not defined solely by the mistakes that led me here. However, I am determined to carve a new path, one that leads away from the shadows of my past and towards the light of a better future.

This blog is not just a chronicle of my journey; an unfiltered narrative of the challenges and (hopefully) triumphs that accompany the quest for redemption. Through these words, I hope to offer solace to those who have stumbled along similar paths and inspiration to those who dare to believe in second chances.

I don’t expect this journey to be an easy one. The consequences of my actions loom large, casting a long shadow over every step forward. I embrace the opportunity for growth, for transformation, for a chance to make amends and build something meaningful out of the wreckage of my past, and the terrible pain I’ve caused.

I made this video too:
