hi again russ lil me and pc blessings to you all and then some


lil me, my life wasn't hard. it was shit. mind is my own fault, i didn't have to start drinking or using drugs at 14. i didnt have to get involved with the wrong crowd, but like the idiot i am, i did. of course i regret some of the things i have done, but what is past, is just that. the past is oft best buried and forgotten like numerous bodies which shall never be found. God bless lye hehe    
Never give up Never surrender Fight with ur last breath Fight 2 live & Fight 2 survive. Never say never & never say die. There comes a time when all will die A time we transcend & attain our place afterlife. My Fight is not yet done, I'm tired & I'd like to go home, But I'm not ready to go just yet.

P.C.

  Frankly, being grown up is over-rated.  You spend your youth craving to be able to do what you want, when you want....and you're positive it will be the answer to all your problems.  Trouble is, by the time you can afford to do that, it's loaded down with responsibility.  Bugga !

I grow up when my mother died suddenly when I was 21.  Nothing changed my life as much not having children or getting married.

Free & staying that way

When I was sent to prison at the age of 21. A very tough experience. I went from screwing around with no direction in life, partying, etc. to a complete survival mode mindset. I had to grow up fast, or at least, take things a lot more seriously. When I got out several years later on parole, I was a completely different person. I had no intention of ever going back, so settled into a job and stable existence. Not an easy journey, but lots of good lessons along the way.

Wow - so getting married - having children - being pretty much a single mom ... nuthin'
your parents being sorta - kinda - maybe - without a home for maybe a month - causes you to "Grow up"

 It's a weird emotional thing.
 It's easy to live from day-to-day as an adult.  Doesn't mean you are truly "grown up".
