“For the Incarcerated Mind”

While sitting at my table in my cell, I was thinking about my thoughts and self. Most tend to hold on to something from our past that weighs us down like dead weight, whether it be a past mistake, a bad decision, a person, or regret that we wish we could fix. These types of walls and barriers feed off from pent-up emotions that we seem to have a hard time letting go of due to our own personal reasons - fear, hurt, or conflict that has grown like a garden in your heart, producing food for your walls and barriers. It's this main obstacle that must be defeated in order for you to begin your journey to ultimate success that has been lying dormant, waiting for you to call on it!

Releasing every emotion that has been holding you back from moving forward. Forgive yourself for your past faults and leave it all where it should be - in your past! Let's love ourselves and others. Let's heal ourselves. Let's grow for a better purpose in life.

Eli is my younger brother, whom I miss sorely. Here is a simple text to share a bit of what he means to me and who he is.

My brother is funny and likes to tease but also someone who always gives a hug. A helping hand and a willing soul that also likes to please. My brother is an amazing friend, my dear friend, and one of a kind. If you get to know him, you’ll see and be just as grateful for having him in your life.

My Daily Prayer

Thank God for my ability to dream new dreams. I give Him all of the Glory for every moment spent with my family and friends and for all of my accomplishments, and lessons learned from my many failures throughout my first 39 years of life.

I thank Him for every ounce of love given and received. I thank Him for molding me over the last five years of being on the Potter's Wheel. I praise Him for guiding me, strengthening me, and branding new dreams and aspirations in my heart.

Part I: I've been thinking about identity lately, and realized that I have some work in finding out who I am, my truest self. What about when I am alone? Who am I? God had intent and purpose, so it's my duty to be intentional. The other day I spoke to my baby brother on the phone, and I told him (because he understands that I've endured circumstances that were violent), I said when I go, I want you to know more about me than the street stuff because he always repeated that I was born without emotions (little does he know). I'm a Leo, so I hide them very well. Anyways, I said, when you read my novels, if I were ever to die in here or there, I want you to remember that I was here. I know you say that you feel my love, but if you only knew what I would endure for your sake. I feel like I let so many people down, simply because they can't grasp my entire identity. I've always perceived envy and jealousy from friends and associates when I've told them my goals, my ambitions. Like as long as we're down here together, all is cool, but instead of being motivated, inspired, or happy for my success, something has changed in our embrace. It's always in the eyes; it never does reach their lips. Women just confide better. So, I've always been better at being open and encouraged therein. As long as they're down with you, they'll want you to succeed, even inspire you. But I am not a woman's labor. I know who I am not. I had to ask myself another question, "Who do you want to be?" (1) a father, (2) a producer, (3) successful, (4) entrepreneur, (5) a confidante ... This is where I can get lost, simply because none of these define who I am. So, I will keep searching. When they ask you who you are, what do you say?

Part II: Who am I? God's son and all that entails. The thing is, that is a genius identity I have to live up to. I've considered that it entails being sincere, genuine, and authentic, all of which I am. So when I acknowledge to myself, "you are sincerely flawed and we need to work on a lot," I just hope looking back I can authentically appreciate an intentional pause and reflection. It's difficult in prison to just miraculously alter one's character and habits, but I've been reflecting on where I need to start.

Dear future self - Do you know that you can be a snap case? Were you bipolar? What happened to the PTSD label? Were you depressed? I know that you want to be happy, did you find it in a woman? Why were you so hard on yourself? Remember T.R.S. - Thinking, Rationalization, Speaking? Are we still practicing? Have we become good at it? I knew that would develop character. Okay, but if only we are genuine about change and identity. See what I did there? Hey future self on some real stuff - I loved you more than I was able to express. I'm sorry. My favorite novel is "A Woman's Bible".

"Getting Out"

I'm so close to getting out. I can feel it, smell it, even taste it. But at the same time, I'm so far away. At any time, anything could happen in here. Dealing with all the things I go through in here can definitely open your eyes beyond great sights. Sometimes it's like a bad headache I'm experiencing through my eyes.

I'm a good dude with a great personality, out of this world, but at times, I need to focus my attention on more positive things. Then maybe I won't get such negative results. In a facility that's on lockdown all the time for crazy/stupid things happening so much, I basically confine myself to my GTL tablet and listen to music majority of the day. Wishing my time was better occupied.

With people getting out in less than a year like myself, you have to find better things to do with your time and try not to engage in such negative behaviors because you're only going to get negative results. I still have a chance to come home in five months instead of nine months, as long as I keep embracing any and all positive things that come my way, I'll be just fine. Even though at times I do struggle with maintaining the positivity, I'm never ashamed to ask for help, even if it may feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Nobody, man nor woman, is perfect. I'm only human. Ready to get out.

Sending me mail/letters please read

I would love to respond to each and every letter I receive but unfortunately, without putting a return address I am unable to respond.

I only am able to read what is sent. No matter if it’s through JPay or Securus or snail mail please I ask for everyone to put a return address otherwise I am not able to respond, which makes me sad because getting letters is the best part of my entire stay here.

If you have a question or anything about this please ask me in your letter. I will do my best to answer any and all questions. I have my sister that is on the outside if you would prefer to talk to her about it, just leave enough information so she can find you :)
