To improve my future, I’m going to stop repeating the same cycle that I have been in since I was thirteen. I’m tired of coming in the hall. I’m tired of court dates and most of all, I’m tired of POs and judges telling me what I can and can’t do.
I want to live my own life without restrictions. I want to be free from all the drama that goes on around me. I want to be my own person. I want to move and put these last couple of years in the past. I want to start a new chapter.
