In The Wild

"Show me your friends and I will show you who you are."

When I started to work in this Fun Center in Houston around 2010, I made friends with people who you can say weren't very productive. They led my mind into places I didn't know existed. Up until one point I ended up buying contraband and weapons from one of them. When my father knew about my little underground deal he sent me out on my own... Into the Wild.

Of course I had a place to stay, because when you have money and possessions you have a lot of friends, but when you loose it all, your so called friends also leave. But I stayed with my "friends" until I found my own place. that was when all the so called "fun" began in my life. I started to go to night clubs, drink, smoke and do many bad things, and mind you these "friends" went to church more than me.

honestly it was very exciting living the way I did, I enjoyed it very much. It's not something I would continue doing, but at the time, because it was new it was amazing. Did you know I was so focused on having fun with alcohol and weed, i forgot to eat. I was supper skinny by the time I ended my joy ride. And this happened for a period of 3-4 months.

During this time I put my first tattoo. I knew it was wrong before God and all, but in retaliation for my dad kicking me out, I did it anyway. With every stroke of the needle on my arm, I would remember my dad saying for me not to get tattoos, not to do wrong... But by me getting a tattoo, it was like I rubbed it in his face. But then a new addiction arose, and you who have tattoos know that once you get one, you want more... i ended up having 14 tattoos in total, all around my body.

I lived this way until one day a very special person saved me.

In closing... Chose your friends wisely, very wisely. They will either make or brake you!
