January 12, 2015. ⛓️
The day I came home after doing 51 months straight.
Locked up at 21. Released at 25. My first prison bid.

While I was away, my mom took in my pitbull 🐶❤️
I was scared he wouldn’t remember me.
The second I walked in, he knew exactly who I was.
That moment still hits me.

She told me he was her dog now — and she was right.
He lived a long, happy life with her. 15 years. Loved till the end. 🕊️

My mom made sure I always had money on the phone 📞
My dad made sure I had money on my books 💵
Pictures. Letters. Support — even when I didn’t deserve it.

My brother… that was different.
Anger. Disappointment. Pain.
He wrote me one letter, six months before I came home.
Telling me how much time I wasted.
How I missed watching his daughter grow up.
How prison robbed us of a relationship we were finally old enough to have.
That letter broke me 💔 — and still does.

I wish I could say I got it right after that bid. I didn’t.
I was home 18 months.
Toxic thinking. Self-destruction disguised as emotion.
Hurting myself to hurt others.

I went back again.
Then I came home… and went back again.
Parole violated. No undoing it.

January 12, 2019 — I finally maxed out parole. 🧾

I’m not sharing this for sympathy.
I’m sharing it because people only see where I’m at now — not what it took to survive getting here.

If you’re carrying shame, regret, or a past you wish you could erase… hear this:

Your worst chapter doesn’t get to write the ending.
You’re not done yet. 🔥
