Looking at who I was, alone and with nothing in a prison cell, I wasn’t ready to change. Though I had known the loneliness and emptiness of friends dying and bullshit defining lives, I wasn’t ready for change. It wasn’t until someone looked me in the eye and saw me as someone worthy of care, someone worthy of love and someone capable of greatness that I saw a way forward. It was that relationship, that total belief that gave me the courage to be uncornered and work to change others as well.
