Man, hindsight is 20/20. I think back to my life and crimes. I wish so badly I could go back to the day I met Francisco Flores. I wanted to get money by any means, even though if I didn’t have any kind of knowledge of how, I just needed the money and didn’t care if someone got hurt in the process.
I have so many regrets even before that. I think back even before I helped take a life from another human being. I think about further back, before I was selling drugs. I went and dropped out of school and left my foster care home and it was the worst choice I made by not putting my best efforts in school. I was being lazy, only kept my grades up to play sports.
I wish I was spending more time with family and making memories with everyone, taking photos and just loving everyone and being a part of everyone’s life more than I was.
I regret smoking weed in the seventh grade and getting involved with the streets and what comes with all of that. If I could change all of this I would, but if I didn’t go through all of this, I wouldn’t be the me I am today. So, things happen for a reason.
God has a plan and it’s better than I will ever imagine for myself. Thank you, much love. Make your life count. We do get a redo, so make it count.
