And so I had a mate who kind of took me under his wing.
And he was a tough MΔori boy, but
He influenced me in all the wrong ways.
And it was sad, bro, because I was a smart kid.
I was doing well at school and everything.
And, you know, I love mathematics, love science and everything.
And like just everything just went downhill.
I just I just I thought, well.
fuck, if you can't beat him, join him.
And so, yeah, I got started getting into drugs, booze, and just as a teenager, yeah, because that was all, you know, mum wasn't there, and so you just kind of get left to your own, and that was the environment I lived in, and yeah, it was tough, bro.
I look back, it was really tough.
Oh, it got real bad, bro.
