The problem was I was seeing far more wrong than I was seeing right, so wrong became the norm for me.
Even though I knew it was illegal or wrong, it was still comfortable because that's what everybody else was doing.
Well, true.
And, you know, it's also interesting because the way that I actually perceived it, I think, was like this is the stuff that's like right to do was the stuff that the people that were cut from a different cloth were doing.
And then the people that were cut from the cloth that I'm cut from does this.
So we're wrong.
They're right.
Do you see what I'm saying?
Because the environment was suggesting that even though you're telling me that that's right and this is wrong, we're all participating in this.
I mean, I don't know if it's working, but it ain't killing us at the moment, you know?
So it's like, it's like, so, so again, I, you know, I knew right from wrong.
I knew better.
I knew not to do this stuff, but I was comfortable in it.
And I saw it so much that in, it would be against the grain to go the other direction.
Friends, everybody around me, you know, and, and even if it wasn't all my friends, it was the friends that I was hanging out with anyway, you know?
So.
At 13, I got arrested for the first time and it was a burglary.
I broke into a trailer and stole a bike from somebody's house.
My boys told me there was a bike in there and I was like, well, I'll do it.
Kind of just proving myself to the older kids or whatever.
