When I was younger, I never thought much about my future. I never thought about a career, marriage, kids. Hell, I didn't even expect to live past twenty-five.
I spent four years of my life living on the edge. I made risky, stupid decisions, I hurt people and I took things that weren't mine. I ruined lives. Including my own.
By the time I was twenty-two, that kind of lifestyle started to lose its luster and I found myself craving stability. I wanted out of the gang life. I wanted out of the darkness that held me captive for so long.
But I found that life was harder to escape than I thought.
I was damaged, broken, useless. I thought I'd never be able to make anything of myself. I thought I would be better off dead or in prison. Thankfully, my parents were there for me
