Hello Myspace world, I would like to give those out there who are lost in the street life some advice if you don’t mind. First of all let me just say that I have been truly blessed to be able to tell you this because I have gone down a long road to get where I am now. Not to long ago I was caught up in the street. Believe me it wasn’t by choice. Being I was raised in poverty. In my mind selling drugs was a way for me to support my family. I can’t front the money was lovely but like the saying goes, “ All good things don’t lastâ€. In the summer of 98 I caught a case and since then I’ve struggled. I searched for a job but was always turned down due to my record. As you know the will to survive kicked in and of course I turned back to the streets in order to get by. For a while I thought that was going to be the story of my life. I mean being labeled a felon is like you’re an outcast from society. For a while there I lost all since of purpose in life. Meaning I thought I was meant to be a drug dealer. Nothing more, nothing less. See once you become immune to a certain way of life you become blinded by who you truly are and the things you stand for. I personally thought my only talent was hustling until I spent six months in jail. While incarcerated I prayed to God that he would lead me into a better way of life. After that I found my love for books. Reading was my way of escaping the harsh reality spent in my cell. For a long time I wouldn’t leave my cell because I didn’t want to stop reading. It was so amazing to me. It was like I was watching a movie instead of reading. Day after day I would read book after book then I began to write poetry. It started of as a way to release my emotions but after my cell mate read one of my poems he paid me to write a poem for his girlfriend. After that I found myself writing poems for just about ever inmate in my pod. It had become a full time job. Who would ever thought a bunch of criminals would be willing to pay for poems. That’s when it struck me. I found the one thing I had a passion for. I discovered that I love to write. But I didn’t limit myself to writing poetry, I started to write mini novels. that is when I decided that I would like to write a movie. From there it was on. Once I was released from jail I met a guy by the name of Robert Malone and he taught me how to write in screenplay form. He also provided books for me to read that dealt with the film business. Once I started reading the books I then realized what my talent was. Since then I’ve completed one screenplay and I am currently finishing another that I will also produce and direct myself. I have yet to make it to make my mark on the world but believe me I will so just keep me in mind and your prayers. And for those out there still caught up in the street life I only have this to say to you. If you only put your faith in God and believe in him along with yourself, you will see as I have that there is a god and he will help you as long as you allow him to. If you don’t believe me then just say a prayer then you will see for yourself. I’m not saying that your life will change over night. You may even go through harder times but remember everything happens for a reason. Trust me. It took me going to jail, losing one of my closes cousins and hitting rock bottom before things to change in my life. So please stay strong and keep your faith because people like you and I are the ones that can change the world. Just know this. I have love for you no matter who or where ever you are.
