April 25th

Hello Everybody,
What can I say? I've never participated in this sort of activity. I have missed out on all the new wave excitement, so it's sort of unreal to me.

Do you want to know what goes on in this prison? Or what happened in my life that opened pathways for me to become a criminal? Because I was...
Almost everyone in here "says" that they are innocent! Haha, now that's a big joke.

I was adopted at birth in St Petersburg, FL and was raised in Largo, FL by some people who could not have their own children. The mother was a nurse at a big hospital and the father was creating a roofing company that fared rather well. When I was 8 or 9 he began touching me "scratching" my back late at night until at one point he actually penetrated me. At the time I never told, but I began to steal. I stole money from his wallet, I stole valuable coins from his collections. He never punished me for these actions. I never told... All the other mothers on our street shunned me and discouraged their kids from playing with me. They ALL knew that something was wrong, but no-one intervened. I took Tap & Jazz dancing lessons for several years and when I was awarded with trophies I was ashamed and felt undeserving... The parents didn't show up or encourage - it was something I got dropped off and picked up for. I didn't make friends and was a loner... I was still stealing from him.

Wow, I can't believe I'm just telling you all this so openly and freely, trust there are a lot of details, but I'm just trying to give you some background on myself. One thing Prison has done for me was to be a place all my anger and rage, a lifetime of hurts...

I'll be back next week and continue on with my history. Please tell me if I'm doing this right or ask anything you want. I am very much healed and okay with sharing.

If you like the Pen/Ink style of my art you can request something custom for yourself.

Have a great day!
Karyn.
