What’s in the darkness…ALWAYS comes to light.

Do not deceive yourself into thinking you can undo, outrun, outshine, rectify, bury or forget your past. When asked, many people are often hard-pressed to tell you what they had for breakfast; however, when it comes to YOUR past, people are like elephants: they never forget—especially the mistakes you’ve made. It is a universal fact: EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES; and sometimes, our mistakes hurt other people regardless our intentions. Sadly, society teaches us to be ashamed of our past failures. People will attempt to use YOUR PAST to control you, extort you, or manipulate you for personal gain; But more often, they will attempt to destroy you by questioning your integrity or motives based on information from your past. We see that shit all the time. For example, a celebrity or politician is subjected to public humiliation because he smacked a stripper on the ass at a bachelor party 30-years ago. BOOM!!! Everything you’ve worked hard for, destroyed in an instant! Now, you’re supposed to make a public apology, retreat with your tail between your legs, and fade away into obscurity. GAME OVER!!! I often tell people: “I don’t have baggage; that implies you’re still dragging that shit around with you. Rather, I have a past.” My past is intense! And not only because of my scandalous mistakes themselves, but also for the devastating and harsh consequences I have suffered as a result. I took my punishment like a man, and I paid my debt to society in full. That means I don’t owe anyone a damn thing! Right? Unfortunately, it’s a little more complicated than that. You see, I have a vision, and it’s epic. It’s one of those God-given, go build an ark, lead your people out of Egypt kind of visions. In a nutshell, I have a plan that will slash the prison population in half, dramatically reduce dependencies on social welfare programs, and put an end to the senseless violence in our cities. I firmly believe my plan will accomplish those things. Furthermore, it’s a selfless plan; a plan that provides a public good for all. In a perfect world, everyone would be thrilled to bring those things to fruition. Sadly, in this fucked up world we live in, there are segments of our society who are going to do EVERYTHING they can to stop my plan from succeeding. Prison is a lucrative industry in which some states even allow the privatization of prisons and other detainment facilities for personal profit. Many who rely on social welfare programs are minorities. It really burns some peoples’ asses to see minorities rise above their appointed social or economic station. Then, there’s the small-minded and selfish attitude, “if those [inner-city folks] are robbin’ and killin’ each other, then they won’t be robbin’ and killin’ us decent folks, so leave ‘em be!” Let’s knock off the bullshit: racism is still very much alive in this country. Lastly, some people just aren’t going to like me, so they will seek to destroy me and everything I am trying to achieve. My attitude is such: if you come at me with the intention to inflict harm of any kind, then I have the right to defend myself. Period! I will not allow my past to be wielded like a weapon against me. I confess: I’ve been a stripper, a prostitute, and a pimp. I’ve battled addiction multiple times with a multitude of different substances. I’ve suffered from sexual addiction, and I’ve been sexually abused. I’ve taken hundreds of naked pictures, and I’ve done porn. I’ve done a lot of things I’m not proud of. Heck, I’ve broken 9 of The Ten Commandments; the only thing that prevented me from going 10 for 10 is the fact I’ve never married. Since committing adultery wasn’t possible, I made up for it by cheating on almost everyone I ever dated. That said, those things brought me nothing but pain, misery, humiliation and suffering. I know that now. However, with the pain and suffering came knowledge and understanding. I don’t judge anyone. Instead, I choose to empathize because I truly do get it. My past is what makes me relatable to the very people I want to help, so I cannot look back on my life with shame or regret. Therefore, there will be no public apologies; I will not slink away with my tail between my legs; and I will not fade away into obscurity. Prison taught me to fight back. My survival often depended on it. People can say what they want about President Donald Trump. However, I admire him for the bold and brash way he handles the hyenas who come nipping at his flanks. President Trump’s comebacks effectively throw his attackers off-balance leaving them stammering. The man has no filter. Sometimes, that’s what it takes. I’m no President Trump though; he’s a big fish in the sea. I’m just a minnow, so big fish strategies won’t work for me. This is my belief: THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN PREVENT YOUR PAST FROM BEING USED AGAINST YOU IS TO MAKE YOUR PAST PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE BEFORE ANYONE ELSE DOES IT. Prison proverb: What’s in the darkness, always comes to light. I cannot take the chance that anything I’ve done will stay in the past. There’s too much at stake. If MY STORY must be told, then I choose to control the narrative. I cannot allow myself to hold back from telling the naked truth because it makes me look bad, or because I feel shame or embarrassment. I look back on my life, and I don’t even recognize the guy who did some of those things. When all is said and done, I hope to be remembered for my achievements rather than my mistakes. I am proof that people can change for the better. I’ve accomplished much since being released from prison four years ago. Necessity now demands I tell my story from the beginning unedited and without apology. May the Lord grant understanding to my readers. They are going to need it!
