When we as people whether incarcerated or free (reflect) back on our past…whether good or bad. It should be a higher rate of good over the bad. If its not that then I beseech you to change up some things. If your situation isn’t what you want it to be change it. If the person your with doesn’t make you happy….as hard as it might be….CHANGE IT. It is tough but we have to do things now so that whether it be 10 or 20 years from now when we….Reflect… it should bring more smiles than grimaces to our faces. There is no need to be unhappy. That isn’t what’s going to bring you a sense of peace…. isn’t that what we all want? A little bit of our own peace. It may take some time to summon up the strength to move on or move out. But in doing so we can move on up to where we deserve to be. Happiness doesn’t just include a physical place….but its a state of our mind. So brothers and sisters reflect. And if your reflections doesn’t bring you a sense of accomplishments but only defeats. If your reflections doesn’t bring you a source of happiness but only sadness, change it. You deserve happiness just like anyone else. So don’t settle for the status quo of your situation but set your own status …….Reflect
