What motivates me every day is my baby mama and my newborn child on the way. The reason why that motivates me is because I want to prove to those who doubt me and don’t believe in me every day.
I also wanna be able to prove to my whole family or at least those who still care, and that are there, but I’m going to be the best father for my child, and be possibly better than my father has been in my personal childhood. For example, being in this position really had me think and gave me a lot of thoughts on my perspective on my personality and maturity.
In my opinion, it caused me to really look at the bigger picture that’s coming in my life because being in here would hurt a lot having to have to talk to my kid in here. So I’m glad God gave me this chance to reflect on our actions, including my baby mama that we gotta change for the better and the quick money isn’t the way to go because not only is it going to affect us but our kid.
It would suck not having a father figure for a child, because not only do I have no father figure if I mess up again, but I would be putting him through the same position I’ve been through for a big part of my life.
