Hello Nip. It's Iesha. I've read one of your blogs so far. Your list of pics desired is something I can contribute to ...not much to ask for. Also, I will be sending off a response to your letter this week.
also i would like to have a copy of this cartoon. the bubble-pop scene would make a great complementing tattoo to one i already have .. love you and miss you
I wasn't writing because i had problems with a boyfriend.. Hes been gone for awhile now .. i took your advice and kicked him to the curb because your right i am stronger than that.. and yes i do care about you and i still love you. you will get a letter soo0n explaining everything ..untill then you are always stuck in my heart and mind.. love you
It is a wonderful thing to work out who those special people in our lives are, that love us no matter what. Always hold them dear to you! (I know you will).
May I suggest though, for those that weren't there... would you consider the posibility that they also found themselves in an unfamiliar position with no idea what to do, or what they 'could' do to help support you.
I'm not suggesting you be-friend each and every one of your frenemies, maybe just ask the question of them 'why weren't you there' - they may have an explanation that will make some sense to you and help you leave that pain behind.
Hello Craig, this is your cousin, Cynthia (ReRe) thank you for sharing your story with the world. It is people like you and stories like yours that help others get through their "day to day" trials. I want you to know that you have support on the outside as I think of you often and will write as well. Please be encouraged and stay strong. I love you Cuz Cynthia
James, you have committed no crime against me, it therefore makes little sense to me to offer you my forgiveness... yet from my position as a member of the human race; I want you to have the opportunity to 'raise (as a man), with your head held high', just as I hope your victim does.
I hope in turn you are able to forgive a rigid system and the ignorance of many to see only your crimes and ignore your potential.
When is enough, enough? What you request; 'forgiveness' is not unreasonable.
You may have once been a rapist... does it make sense to think that is all you are still, or all you are capable of, even after more than 2 decades.
Those of us on the outside have the privilidge of growing and changing over time. It is not only expected of us, but occurs naturally. Why should you not? From a sociatal perspective, I say you are not given any incentive to be anything more,unless we reach out the hand of forgiveness to you and trust that you are capable of more.
I don't live in the USA; my country sentences more fairly I believe and doesn't write people off for a lifetime because of bad decisions made in a moment. In fact one of my old school friends did two terms of imprisonment for charges of rape yet now, as a free man who has been provided with the opportunity to do better; has a stable job, a wife and family and the incentive to make good choices each and every day. It saddens me that you are not given that opportunity. We are all more than our worst act and you should be awarded the opportunity to prove that to yourself, your victim, your loved ones and society through the positive contribution I believe you are (we all are!) capable of. How do we as a society expect you to do better if we do not provide you with those opportunities? We cannot.
