Timeless I had a chance to talk to an old friend tonight, one that I haven't spoken with since a few months before I went to prison. This guy was a good friend, and I believe that I can honestly say that he personally kept me out of trouble during my early youth (around 13+).

Since I respect this person so much, I found it difficult to inform him that I am nothing more (this stems from all the comments I have been receiving) than a common criminal who can be equated to a ruthless thug who steals from major companies. I told him about the situation.

I stopped to think about it too, while I chatted with him online. I thought about the path I was taking as a child, and how I evolved into nothing more than the path I was destined to take back then, it just took a little longer. Did I think that my life would travel in the direction that it did? No. Was it inevitable? No. But did I still end up no better now, than the path I was traveling back then? Yes.

I find it comical, not that I broke the law, or that I went to prison, or that my life has been turned upside down by my own mistakes, but that this was even possible.

Possibility and Probability are 2 different things. Was there a possibility of me going to prison, sure, as with anything; but was it probable? No, I do not think so.

Having been through more than most people at my age (25), having spent time in a federal prison... I have let myself down. I took a path far beyond the scope of my own comprehension, and even now, I find it difficult to reflect on the past.

I find it funny that none of them have asked me about it. No one has asked me any questions regarding my stay... do I blame them? No. But we all know my past history when it comes to friendship. (So I wont get into that)... // sk0t @ 11:14 PM :: Comments [5] :: Digg This ::
