A Boy to A Man...

I'm sitting here writing this because it's been on my mind to get these thoughts that are racing through my head down on paper, so I can help you to connect with ME a little more...

I was thinking about the person I have become over the years and I realized that a lot of what I have learned has helped me to grow into a better man. The loss of freedom, speech, decision making, and even love in a way, has taught me to value those things that a lot of people out in the regular world take for granted. A lot of people really never sit down to realize how precious life is because you are moving too fast. You miss so much. Think on it.

Take your freedom, for instance! A lot of people never realize how much it means to make choices on your own. In here, almost all your choices are made for you. When to work, sleep, go outside, eat, go to the store, or even when to call home. All those choices are made for you and it's crazy 'cause after a while, if you are one of the few who realize that you should be doing this for yourself, you're becoming a man.

A man should be doing all those things, not sitting in a place where it's done for you.

I've missed out on so much in my life but, at same time, I have gained some wisdom that is priceless. I've grown into a man who realizes what is so precious & you should never take any of your life for granted. I'm a man who is ready to finish this last bit of time & go home so I can enjoy life and hopefully meet that special someone & experience life together.

Anyways, I figured I would put this up on my page and hear what your thoughts are on it and anything else you may wish to share.

Don't hesitate to throw some questions or comments my way.

I'm out for now. Peace & blessings.

Yours truly,
Brandon Carter
