    it's hard to be in a fantasy in your mind when you accept your the person most responsible for all that is so wrong in your like. and the to realise part of you is in love with everything you're doing. the all there's left to do is decide if as far out as you are then if it's worth trying to even be a good person again. when you do shit like this man talks about the truths of your situation weigh on your mind every day. I like to think I know a bit about it if you know what I'm saying.

    You have a great attitude. When you can see your father and brother beyond their roles in your life, as a father or brother, and as human beings who are emotionally hurt yet they too long for happiness, you can heal. It helps. I hope you are beating the odds and are at peace and breaking the cycle with your own family. Forgiveness and love conquers all.

    To be honest, I understood a lot of what this man said, NOT ALL... But most. You gotta pay attention, no background noise, volume on blast and watch his lips. I was very interested and I truly enjoyed this interview, and usually I get impatient with the Gang Member related interviews. Despite not being educated well, he said some pretty real shit. He was accurate (On Point) about a few things. Not very book smart, but definitely got "Life Smarts". Underneath the exterior, it seems as though he does care about the relationship with his kids... I'd really like to hear more from him in a second interview (follow-up). I'd rather listen to a gang member talk that listen to some dusty ass pimp any day!! 🎯 💯👌🏻

    Yes in many parts of LA. But I never understood the gangs from Pico Rivera. The parents work hard and make it to a beautiful suburb, only for their children to take the gang culture there and shoot each other. I knew a guy from PR and went to his neighborhood. It was such a beautiful area. He ended up shooting his girl and getting disciplined by his homies bad for it.

    I had a similar experience on preworkout before geranium extract (DMAA) was outlawed. I was up so late, after working out, vacuuming, etc. Had to work the next day. That preworkout was loaded with basically, drugs. DMAA was being referred to as geranium oil or geranium extract. However, it was basically a strong amphetamine. It was crazy. I see how the feeling of boundless energy, and a positive mindset can be addicting until, of course, that no longer is the case and the drug has you down a dark path. The affects weakened as I halved the recommended dose and my body tolerance adjusted. Soon after, however, it was banned. Today, it remains banned but Olympians and bodybuilders and throngs of others ‘benefited’ from it for years. Some of these athletes low key take meth for such affects while training and not testing.
