But it's also an illusion.

It paints this picture that we are... It paints a picture that things happen without our control.

But that's actually just us not being in full control of our own lives.

And so that's been my story.

That's been the evolution of me from a kid and starting off as a knucklehead and getting burnt repeatedly.

I came across this random quote on Instagram.

I thought it was fucking sick.

It was...

to get this calm, like straight up.

Eventually you just get sick of burning yourself like over and over and over again.

And the faster that you could learn your lesson and the faster you only make a mistake once, the faster you just go to a straight God mode.

Yeah, so I spent three years in prison.

That's something I'm starting to become more comfortable sharing.

I was very intimidated about that story for a while because I just felt like people would judge me.

A lot of shame, right?

Not necessarily a lot of shame.

It was me caring too much about what other people felt about me.

I felt that other people's opinions of me actually mattered.

I felt that the validation that I either had or did not have actually corresponded or correlated to my potential success.

And that was because I felt that I needed other people for my own survival.
