Today I Start Again
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.
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.
